Those verge dudes are the Best but damn are they specs whores and Apple bias.

First, Nilay said im so disappointed that the nexus 4 dont have no LTE. I so want an android phone. Someone said get the Galaxy nexus. He said no i hate that screen. Someone said get the GS3. He said I want stock android. Why didnt google fight verizon. Why cant they be more like APPLE and demand updates. Nexus 4 is a failure on arrival. I cant use HSPA+. LTE is so much better. He just started using LTE with the iphone 5 now he cant go back to HSPA+. He also said no im not rooting my phone to run stock android. At this point why not get an iphone 5 like josh suggested that he is gonna do. They are a million android phones now people are acting like there is one option. Josh was going on and on about this when he has a galaxy nexus and he is the editor in chief. So he knows about the nexus slow update. Why he want the nexus to be another android phone is beyond me. Why not keep the LTE android phone and update to android 4.2. Whats crazy is that they wrote a great story on why google abandoned LTE. They even spoke with Andy Rubin. Watch Josh give the nexus 4 a low score when he never gave the iphone a low score because of no LTE. He gave the ipad mini a 9 with old technology and the nexus 7 a 8 i think. I was watching the podcast waiting for some behind the scene good convo instead the whole podcast was about lack of LTE.

word? Every vid I seen on youtube maxed out at 11mbps. Link that XDA thread, cause when I check youtube I never see anyone getting past 11megs breh.

i dont remember the specific threads but check the S3 forum for tmobile

it also depends on your phone too cause my speeds was always between 8-10 mbps with my S2 but i been getting 16-20 since i got the Note 2

 

[STAN JONES]

You ain't had to do that breh

I know Verizon's LTE is just I looked up speed tests for the Note II and nikka got 36 down/21 up. Those speeds are so demonic

LTE Speed Test (64GB Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Vs. Galaxy SII HD) - YouTube

It's all good though, 4.2 will make up for it

i didnt even know there was a S2 HD

why didnt they release that in the US?

Josh from the verge lol back in the nexus one days. I think dudes are trolls sometimes

"the hope was that Google had found some ingenious ad-supported way to get this phone into consumer’s hands for a low, seemingly subsidized price but without the shackles of a contract or specific carrier"

unless all you do is talk on your phone and facebook you gonna need the space

plus its not the 16 gig Nexus is gonna have 16 free gigs,about 3 or 4 of those gigs will be for the OS so you really looking at like 12 or so gigs for the 16 gig version.

i know the Note 2 16 gig version only came with 10 free gigs,6 was used for the OS and bloatware

You can use a cloud service but unless you got unlimited 4G you losing fukking with cloud

Note II has a SD card slot, right?
