Tomato was grandfathered into unlimited data (no caps, no throttling) for $30/mo 2 years ago, which is impossible to get these days.

That combined with $20/mo for talk/text makes changing networks not feasible.

Got the Galaxy S4 yesterday

dont know enough about phones to tell if it is good or not yet

battery lasts a long time 10+ hours
Phone is light and very thin
big nice screen with great resolution
able to watch 720p movie on it
charges surprisingly quickly

dont like keyboard or how you cant easily hide it
no flash in browser
screen might be too big, have to move hand to type
home button being press not touch is annoying
dont like position of power (right) and volume (left side) buttons
verizon 4g was slow only 4mb download in vegas
miss the kickstand on the thunderbolt
lots of bloatware

download the flash package on your pc and add it like that

Did it but its not compatible with the browser. Had to download Firefox and they want permissions like my location, accounts, and browser history

This keyboard is annoying. You have to open symbols for a comma, the auto correct sucks, it has difficulty learning words, and the only way to make it disappear is to find an area on the screen that isnt a text box and click there. Nevermind you can press the back button. Keys are too small.

 

[rito]

You can change the keyboard.

Me too. I am using pigeons to communicate now.

download swiftkey. Best app you'll ever buy yourself for an android.

FWIW the S3 drains battery. The best part is I'll come near the end of the night and wanna use my phone to get home and that's normally when the battery ends. Makes life a little more interesting.

I do need to flash a new OS on it. The stock one is just full of shit and the GPS is flaky.

The recent posts are not making me want to get the S4 like I was planning.

I have until mid-July to decide, though.

My screen on Friday went blank diagonally extending from the top left corner down to the bottom right corner! But it still works fine!

Bought the Galaxy S5 last night. Photos are spectacular. Got a Samsung Tablet for free $10 per month with built in hot spot. Will report how it goes.

NOICE!
I'm not sure exactly what the deal is, but a client was telling me today about some great deal they have going on at Best Buy on mother's day.
So married men, there's an idea, a new phone for the women.

 

[mcbaseball10]

Yes Cami. $149 with $50 gift card rebate plus free tablet.

 

[Cami]

THAT is a damn good deal my dear.

My client said she is trading her old phone in for a new one, and it will cost next to nothing.

Only problem with straight talk plans, you can't upgrade unless you pay the price of the phone.
