Can my SGH I777 get 4G LTE speeds?
i bet if you did a basic search you would find that the i777 is NOT an LTE device, since, you know, it doesnt have the HARDWARE to support LTE.....
SMH
Somewhere I was aware it was not even a full 4G phone, but at the moment i'm just a bit pissed off because of that. I should have waited for the skyrocket. Sorry for the extra thread.

while i can agree that the i777 is the better of the 2 after owning both, i have to disagree with your assumption that no website will put out more than 2mbps....
dont let your feelings of another device get in the way of actual facts.
i own and have owned a few LTE devices....i can tell you that LTE speed IS a huge difference and IS a great benefit....
dont put down the device and spout off inaccuracies of how much bandwidth a site will put out.....try them for yourself and see....and try to have an OPEN MIND when you test it out...

This site and you guys are the bomb. I been hanging around here for some time and have tried about every rom there is, but you can't make the phone better than it is capable of being. Make me feel better and give me just a couple reasons why the SG2 is better than the skyrocket.

So show me a screen shot from your i727 LTE on any web site getting more then 2mbps (NOT SPEED TEST) until then "dont let your feelings of another device get in the way of actual facts and spout off inaccuracies" I will be waiting.....

OK dude.
go use a goddamn LTE phone....like ACTUALLY use it....
stop justifying your i777 love with bull**** claims...
in case you DONT know me, i sold my 727 a long time ago. got rid of my HTC One X just last week, and I still own a VIVID, nexus, nexus7, i777, galaxytab, captivate, etc etc.....

First thing I don't give a **** what you have or who you think you are....When you come at me you better come correct or not at all... I never said LTE was not faster I said "You will NEVER get more then 2mbs from any web site" So where is the screen shot tuff guy? Ok so SHOW me on ANY LTE phone you getting more then 2mbps from any site YouTube, Hulu, Netflix your choice just show me the screen shot..... Untill then you're back quite who is the "fan boy" wish I could say more I will leave it at that...Still waiting

Thanks for looking out.....I don't even know if I should respond to this. All I was doing was trying to make the OP feel a little better about his i777..... I'm not here to argue with anybody but if you come at me I don't care who you are. you better have FACTS all I wanted was a screen shot... I stated a FACT, he came at me. What I said is true, even with a 50mbps wifi connection you will only see 2mbps or less... Maybe I took what he was saying the wrong way..... "stop justifying your i777 love with bull**** claims" "****ing fanboyism in the i777 section is as bad as iPhone world...grow up"
Who is to say I even have an i777 or don't have an i747 LTE..... By the way I ******* Hate Apple iSad
Yep. No way in hell any website ever puts out more than 2 mbps, you're right, Internet tough guy.

I am also looking to get an i777 or i727. For me the deciding factor is battery life. For those of you that have owned both, can you compare the battery life of these two phones on stock, using the same custom ROMs, etc? I did do searches for comparisons, but not many people are clear that they have owned both phones and used them under similar conditions.
Thanks in advance.

No man he's totally right which is why I can easily pull 6mbps down from Speakeasy and their WEBSITE speed test hehe.
If you can't pull more then 2mbps on your LTE network uhh you either a) live in a crappy city where everyone and their mother is on the network or b) ATT doesn't have LTE where you live.
Has nothing to do with the phone or any website. If I'm on H+ and not on my home wifi I can only get my max speeds at like 11pm when no one else is on their phone.

LTE drains more battery than H+ so ur best bet is i777 if u want battery life.

Hey Dude and immediately Root and install a cooked Rom which improve in addition the battery life. Actually I have installed CM9 with an excellent perfomance. Sorry for disturb your discussion.

Thanks for the info, but I already know that rooting and debloating helps with battery life. Who I want to hear from are people that have had both the i777 and the i727, and how the battery life compares under similar conditions, including while stock and while using custom ROMs.
Most people who have posted about battery life on one or the other phone were not clear that they owned both at one time or another.
Another factor is that I live near, but not actually in an LTE area. Does the skyrocket battery last longer when not in LTE? I expect that the majority of my time will be in a non LTE area.
Again, I already know all the pros and cons between the i777 and i727 EXCEPT how they compare battery wise (in actual usage, not on paper). That will be the deciding factor for me.
Thanks again for reading.
I have an i777 and my wife has a skyrocket...I use mine probably twice as much playing games and browsing the web and always seem to have better battery life by 20 percent or better...also if you are going to spend most of your time in an non lte area I would recommend the i777... More roms, better battery..and to be honest..in non lte area a better speed...don't know why but it is....

Seems like they provide a bit more than 2 Mb/sec.

1.) Very concerned about call quality and battery life. I remember when the OG evo came out, the battery life was pretty bad. It wasn't until I purchased a higher capacity battery on ebay, and rooted the phone that I was happy. I have a feeling the e3d is going to have the same initial problem, even though they upped the battery. If you throw in bad call quality, which has been fairly consistent among the reviews, those are two big strikes against the phone IMO.
2.) I know the 3d feature is just an "added bonus", but in my book it's just a gimmick. I don't see myself using it all that much, and most reviews say using the 3D really kills the battery. Plus I think it takes away from the "sleekness" of the phone. I heard someone say it looks like Johnny #5 from Short Circuit on the back of the phone, and I have to agree. Not visually appealing to me at all. Plus, I'll be constantly worried about scratching them as well, since they seem to protrude out much further than any camera I have seen. The 2D camera quality seems to be the same as my OG evo anyway. I wish they would have just put a higher quality 2D camera on the phone.
3.) I'm not that big a fan of sense. I've been running cyanogen for quite some time now, and forgot how much better it is than sense. I picked up my gf's evo the other day, which is still stock, and it was painful to use compared to CM7.
4.) I think the OG evo is still a damn good phone. Why would I want to use my upgrade and get stuck into another two years if I'm not 100% sure I want this phone? I know sprint has the 30 day return policy, but why go through that hassle initially? I think it's wiser just to wait and see how things play out for the first month. I'm not sure if the bootloader is unencrypted at this point? Sure, HTC said they will unlock it, but when?? 1,3,6 months from now?
I'm still very happy with CM7 on my evo at this point. The development on this phone has been amazing. I have android 2.3.4 with the honeybread theme. It looks slick, just as good as my transformer tab, and battery life is exceptional. I get 16 hours with moderate to heavy usage.
5.) If this was sprint's only powerhouse phone coming out soon, sure it would probably more of a "no-brainer" on getting the e3d...but with the Photon and most likely the SGS2 coming soon, I think I'll wait and compare the three phones before I make any decisions. In the meantime, I'll still be happy running my OG evo w/CM7.
I think the bottom line is I'm not going to jump on board just because this phone is the "new" thing. I'll practice some restraint, keep checking out XDA for the first couple weeks and see how things play out. I have a feeling there won't be a shortage for the e3d like there was for the OG evo.
As many people have said its pretty much your personal preference.
As for me I have already preordered it on wirefly, can not wait for some reason I don't see my phones battery being really all that bad as reviewers say.
I will sign another two year contract because that plan I am on is cheap! and love sprint service!
Thanks for that. Are you going to go on every phones forum and let us know why you're not getting those as well?
I just might!!...would you like me to send you a personal message to notify you of all my phone updates? Toolbox...lol.

Why choose this phone to do that about?
Did you do the same for every other phone approaching launch date?

I don't understand why that is so strange? A forum is for giving opinions...right? I'm giving my opinion on why I'm holding off on purchasing this phone on launch day. Did I say I will never get the phone? No. It seems with certain people, anytime you criticize this phone, people want to brush you aside for some kind of idiot. I'm just not sold on this phone yet, and I'll even go out on a limb and say it probably won't be nearly as successful as the OG evo. Just my opinion though!!

Actually this is a forum for developing stuff, hence the name xda-developers.
If that's the case, then why have an Evo 3D GENERAL section, and an EVO 3D Android Development section? If it's all about development, why not just have the EVO 3D Android Development, and that's it? I've seen maybe 1-2 threads in the GENERAL section that actually deal with "development".

Of course it wont be as successful as OG EVO. It's going to be a while, before sprint has another phone like that! When they finally drop a LTE phone, with the same top of the line range in phones they currently are putting out. That 1st one to hit will be there best shot, whatever the phones may be at that point. Untill then we are getting HTC, Samsung, and not Moto all trying to draw from the ground breaking EVO.
Opinions are like a**holes, everyone has one!!!

You don't get it. You're supposed to start a new thread bashing someone that gave a mediocre review of this phone and act like the ultimate fanboy. That is the only purpose of this section of the subforum.
Yeah, but you can't share your a**hole with everyone. That may land you in jail...or the hospital.

Did you read the other 50 million threads that have been posted already asking the same thing filled with the same trolls?
Do you think your thread is going to end any differently? People are just getting tired of the same things getting posted over and over and over and over again and I am starting to agree with them.
People just need to start reading and stop posting. Maybe if the mods would lock the whole 3d section for a couple of days and not allow any new threads then everyone might be forced to read something and find the answer to all their questions!

I can understand what you are saying, I think, but I'm curious as to your native language.
I left my EVO4G for my EVO3D...it was awesome in some ways, sucked in others. I thought the cons outweighed the pros. So, I returned it and got an NS4G. Also awesome (amazing) in some ways, sucks (hardcore) in others.
So, now that my E4G is not sitting on my desk taunting me with it's superior aspect ratio and I have found that a signal strength meter is never to be trusted--on any phone...ever (I really did know better but got all panicky about my 30 days, bla bla bla)...God willing I will be going back to the 3D side tomorrow, wiser for the experience.
I will miss the NS4G camera though, holy **** it's amazing compared to any evo.
Yes, the lack of root and especially s-off upset me a great deal...that's one this the NS4G slaughters everything else at. But, given that HTC has given a timeline I will happily wait it out a little bit. Especially given the sticky-temp-root options we have.
...and as much **** as I talked about the 3D being a gimmick--and I still know it is--I used it WAY more than I ever thought I would and miss it more than any other feature of the phone....who knew.

I will miss the NS4G camera though, holy **** it's amazing compared to any evo.
Yes, the lack of root and especially s-off upset me a great deal...that's one this the NS4G slaughters everything else at. But, given that HTC has given a timeline I will happily wait it out a little bit. Especially given the sticky-temp-root options we have.
...and as much **** as I talked about the 3D being a gimmick--and I still know it is--I used it WAY more than I ever thought I would and miss it more than any other feature of the phone....who knew.

I was wrong. Twice in one post. I admitted it. On the internets. Write this down folks, take a picture, cuz nobody will ever believe it.
I don't mind posting this for the 20 or 30th time lol. Mine is OC'd to 1.8Ghz with temproot and running ADW EX. It is the smoothest, fastest experience i've ever had on a mobile device. The resolution is so sharp and the colors so nice I could never go back to my EVO4G. I should just copy this in a text document so that I can easily paste it to answer this question.

Just start a thread saying just that. Hopefully, the mods will just sticky it so nubcakes stop creating useless waterhead threads.
I'm torn as well. Thinking about returning mine and going back to the OG Evo until some hardware updates come to this phone.
My camera is horrible for indoor pics. Outdoors or bright indoor light are better than the E4G but....the difference in indoor lighting with flash are putrid. I've flashed the LEDs a number of times and they seem to have a blue cast to them vs. a bright white on the E4G.
I don't have the data problems some experience. My E3D is ****ty where my E4G is ****ty. It's fast on 3G where there is a good signal area. Sprint just sucks right now....period! Not the E3D's fault.
Could care less about 3d....it's cool but if you are indoors, the pics are so horrible on my phone that I don't want to show what 3d is all about.
Also, torn on the form factor. Kind of like the wider E4G for my old ass eyes and fat fingers.
I've had some weird issues where the GPS on the E3D went wonky a couple of times. It was flopping all over the place and wouldn't settle down to a final reading. The phone got hotter than hell each time this happened. I had to factory reset my phone a few times to fix.
My screen is not yellow. But if I turn up the brightness to really look good, the battery life is not good.
The speed of the E3D is tremendous! Love it! No lags at all on my phone, except....when I launch a web site or Maps, etc.....When compared with the E4G, the 4G pops up a search, website, market, whatever much faster as far as the initial find. Once the E3D catches the site or app, it draws it faster. It just seems to stall catching the site or app.
So, seriously deciding what to do. Trust updates will fix all these issues (seriously concerned about the blue tint to the flash) or turn mine in and wait until I see there are newer hardware versions out. I do think the camera may be more than a software fix.
My humble opinion!
i think this is the best android phone that i every owned its so fast and great nothing to complain about at all
I really hate how my phone doesn't look at me during intercourse....

So, with the chance of getting flamed or... flaming myself depending on the reaction to this. SprintFeed apparently got word that the Galaxy S II will be hitting Sprint first, on September 9th, ahead of all other carriers.

There is the link.
Just thought any defectors would like the heads up. I personally am sticking with my 3Devo.
From the screenshots it looks to be the same phone. No concrete answer on if it's packing a Snapdragon which had been rumored or if it's sticking with Exynos. *Shrug* guess we shall find out.

Well, I know a lot of people aren't happy with the Evo 3D, I decided to drop this nugget and see how it went. Like I said, I'm happy with my evo. My Radios don't suck too bad, only thing I have issue with is a Black SOD every 9hrs when using a custom kernel... which I can workaround with a stock kernel.
You're post is a little confusing. so... you're waiting for the nPrime?. that's how it sounded. That's looking to be an October release, it's being made by Samsung too. Which I find odd, I would think Motorola would be involved. I know it was just recently announced that Google was going to buy them, but...I assumed it was in the making to be some big lead up. oh well, probably next year.
I'd think I'd like it more if it didn't look like the iPhone had a retarded son.

Thank god I don't get the Black SOD...
Yeah, I'm waiting for the nPrime. It's being made by Samsung which, while at first really put me off but I did sport an NS4G for a few weeks last month. Aside from feeling cheap and too light--which most people wouldn't see as a down side--it was actually a fantastic phone. Great battery life, phenomenal camera and an unmatched Android experience. It did have the traditionally weak Samsung radio, but, it seems that you can't escape that anymore.
...and so far as Motorola is concerned Google has assured it's partners that the bidding process for the Nexus line would in fact remain the same. Google is saying all but "listen, we bought MMi for the patents. The Set-top-box and mobile manufacturing is just a plus, that we don't intend to use." Of course time will tell how true that is. For the time being I believe them.
However a Motorola built Nexus would probably be fantastic as long as they ditch that ****ty Pentile screen technology. I bet they would have class leading radios and battery life too.

Agreed. Their designs are a bit stodgy looking, but their hardware (aside from those horrible screens and penchant for keyboards) is rock solid. They nearly invented cellular mobile phone technology. They have been doing mobile communications for as long as there has been a commercial mobile communications market. Their radios are fantastic. Build quality is always awesome. How many OG Droids do you still see around? Tons...and I have seen a lot that are beaten to death physically but still kicking ass, 2nd hand, 3rd hand...that says quite a bit.
Without knowing anything about the contents of their patent portfolio I am confident that it contains thousands of very relevant patents. I can't wait to see Google's next move.
I came from the Epic 4G to the Evo 3D. The main thing about Samsung was there slowwwwww release of updates. The Epic 4G rolled out with Eclair, took a while to get Froyo and is still awaiting Gingerbread. This really seem slow down ROM and kernel development. HTC seems pretty spot on with their OS updates.
I am waiting to see if Samsung support for their phones has improved. If it has, maybe I would consider going back. Until then, my Evo 3D is the shizzle.

I just realized that CFW will be virtually nonexistent on the skyrocket, and the s2 is seemingly supported very well, and not to mention there is no LTE coverage in my area.
Form factor is also nicer on GS2, and I assume battery life is also longer.

I'm not jealous at all - I feel sorry for those who said OOH SHINY LTE!
It's fatter, it's heavier, if you look over on the AT&T support forums it drops connectivity all the time, and has piss-poor battery life. It also has the same screen quality issues the T989 does.
It's also a developer's nightmare consisting of parts Samsung just threw together from the parts bin. As a result, the few developers the phone has need to do a LOT more work. In terms of active developers the I777 and I727 are probably about the same - but the I727 community is completely on their own (other than the T989), whereas we have the community of one of Samsung's flagship devices to pull from.
I call it the ****rocket because it has NO business carrying the Galaxy S II name - it has NOTHING whatsoever in common with the Galaxy S II. If it were just the Skyrocket and someone didn't try to apply a name it doesn't deserve to it, I'd just ignore it.

I don't blame Entropy for not wanting to pull a hack job to cook up a kernel for that bs ... his work is *****
As far as the Skyrocket ... it is a junk pile imho. The thing has issues across the board. Do your homework and you will see why it is not such a great device. It is one of Samsung's possibly worst releases yet IMho. Screen issues, chipset issues, etc. you enjoy yours though !

If the Skyrocket had come out before the I777, I would have been disappointed. If the I777 had never been released, I would have simply imported the I9100, or maybe the Note or HSPA+ GNex. Simply put, no matter what else might have been on the market, after my experience with the Infuse, I would not have touched the SR with a ten foot pole.
The Infuse was a nightmare in terms of development and ever seeing updates, and it had about 70% hardware commonality with the original GalaxyS series devices.
The Skyrocket has maybe 5% commonality (similar touchkey driver - that's about it), meaning that everything that was bad about the Infuse:
1) No similar devices to borrow development from
2) Oddball hardware not used/supported on any other device
3) Complete and total lack of update support due to being a wacky one-off interim device
applies even moreso to the ****rocket. On top of that, the ****rocket has LTE - which means it's going to be a battery-hogging fatty. LTE is not going to be mature for at least another year, just like the first 2-3 years of UMTS handsets were also battery-hogging fatties.

I live in a LTE area and still got the SGS2 instead. You couldnt pay me to use another phone with the underperforming/jerky poor-mans-dual-core Snapdragon. Exynos destroys every Android used CPU today. No vertical screen lines issues and overall nicer screen when used side hy side, better dev community with direct ports of the OG's roms, and better battery life.
I wouldnt mind having a Skyrocket, but having to choose, its no contest imo

I had the SR for a week or two before exchanging it for the SII. In my case, I was able to get the SR for $149, but had to pay an extra $50 to get the SII. For me, it was worth it. It's important that I live in a non-LTE area (and my rural home likely won't see LTE coverage for years.) That's a double-edged sword in that I didn't get LTE speeds, but also didn't have the massive hit to the battery that LTE seems to incur.
Screen: Everyone picks on the SR screen size... It's only a 1/4" larger than the SII screen, but has the same resolution. However, even though everyone seems to think it makes the screen horrible to look at due to the lower PPI (dpi), keep in mind the actual numbers: SR is ~207ppi and the SII is ~221ppi. Not much difference. For someone with less than perfect vision, the larger screen might actually be easier to see. (Compare the ppi numbers to a typical computer monitor which is somewhere around 80-120ppi.)
Battery: I get several more hours of usage from my SII than I was able to get with my SR, despite the fact that the SR has a higher capacity battery. This is with no LTE service. If I was in a LTE area, I'm guessing the battery for the SR would last half as long as the SII.
Physical size: I found the SR more difficult to manipulate quickly with a single hand due to the larger physical size. This is one of those areas where you just need to pick the thing up and try it. (On the other hand, the SR was easier to type on with two hands.)
Community Support: This references places like XDA - the SII simply is better supported. It might be because the SII has been around longer, or it might be because of the international version of the SII. It could be for any of a dozen reasons, but it doesn't change the fact.
CIQ: I refuse to purchase any phone that has a rootkit pre-installed. AT&T claims it's not active on the SR as of mid-December, but they never said that they won't be activating it. If they took the time and expense of getting Samsung to cram it on the device, then it's reasonable to guess that it'll get activated once they work out the performance issues (and it's a safe bet that CIQ is more important to AT&T than getting ICS out in a timely manner.)
Now I'll ask you a question or two: If you ask a "SR vs SII?" question in the SII forum, what kind of answers did you expect? Why not search "skyrocket" in this forum to see the answers given nearly daily for the same questions?
Good luck in finding your answers

My thoughts on the 2 phones.
SGS2: Ford Fiesta. Nice all around
Skyrocket: Chevy Aveo. Has Flames.

Odd, I've no problems with my Skyrocket screen and I regularly get 17+ hours of use out my device daily (when I'm not flashing ROMs) not to mention I still have my unlimited plan in an LTE area. I do wish the Skyrocket had more support but, it'll get there - the OG GSII has been around longer so naturally there will be more support for it, I can understand that.

I noticed this too when using a friends Skyrocket. It's just not as fast or smooth as my i777 SG2, both in use and doing stuff like browsing online etc. I noticed some lag as well, which all of the above some reviews have pointed out. Not sure what's causing the issues/glitches?
I'm really impressed by the i777 SG2, best all around phone right now imo. it's fast, smooth, great battery life, and the size is just right with the screen at 4.3" . It swayed me away from iPhones which I didn't think could happen lol.
i first bought the SR because i loved the larger screen (coming from iphone 3gs) but traded it in within my 30 days for the sgs 2 due to the poor battery life.
i find that the battery is better on the sgs2 and i have no need for lte because i spent 80%+ of my time in wi-fi areas and i don't think hspa+ is slow anyways.
in terms of lagginess, i haven't really noticed any difference moving from the SR to the sgs2 but i'm not so picky about those things.
also, in a non-LTE area the sgs2 is quite a bit cheaper than the SR so this was also a factor in my decision.

When I knew that was in the bag I mentioned gs3 but they wanted nothing to do with that lol. Also I said I looked online and saw loads of people with same problem on rezound.

Well lucky you but I've done all that since release. Although with aphs new bamf rom I get no data drops but idc I still would rather have a nexus.thanks for Tue suggestions though I'd def try it if I hadn't done so already. Aokp was always unstable for me although it very well could be fixed now but I still don't care I want nexus lol and I'll just make up bull**** about that phone get a few replacements and let them offer me a gs3. Yes I know its not honest so feel free to flame people idc verizon is far from honest. If they didn't wanna screw me out of unlimited data then I would Gladly pay for a gs3 but no they wanna screw me and everyone else so I'll screw them right back for free upgrades. Do two wrongs make a right? No. Do I care? Hell no

Just FYI Verizon will mark your account the more you call in asking for the s3 as a replacement just a heads up :good:.
My TB broke and they sent me a nexus, I hated it. The antenna inside is terrible compared to rezound. I went through 3 of them and I had to ***** in order to get a rezound.

I'm not saying rezound antenna isn't better but if u had problems with nexus service then the area u live in must not have good service because they work great where I live.

Is it difficult to get them to offer a nexus? I've always wanted that phone.

They didn't offer me a nexus. They just offered me a razr. Obviously I was like that phone isn't even in the same league why would I accept that. So they're sending me yet another rezound. Hopefully this one won't have issues. It will be the 5th or 6th one.
Edit: I actually got online and looked at phones while on the phone with her. She also offered an LG phone and said that might be an upgrade (rofl). The nexus is 150 dollars less.. heck even the GS3 is 50 dollars less. The only phone I see comparable is the nexus(by a stretch) and the GS3 (by a smaller stretch), both are cheaper. It doesn't make much sense to me.

The specs matter, not the price. If you can get a better phone for a better price, why not? GS3 has awesome specs.

Similar cameras, same processor speed, same resolution, worse screen, Samsung radios... What else do they look at? Nothing else matters to me at this point. HD screen with comparable cameras and 1.5ghz dual core. The lady I spoke with obviously didn't have a clue, though. When I used to do this I had a tier list of phones and the "upgrades" would cost an extra amount. Does Verizon work like that? I don't mind at all paying extra money. But I don't feel like I should have to pay full retail to get a phone that's comparable when I've had to deal with all of this BS.
I bought this phone off contract maybe that's what she was saying, that I'd have to upgrade on-contract or something.

Yeah but the GS3 has an Adreno 225 GPU vs. Rezound's 220. And about the processor, the devs were able to get it up to like 1.9 GHz. Not to mention the amazing camera. And it has CM10. But I agree with you, those Verizon spokespeople really do blow. I was inquiring about a nexus 4 (I know, I know) and they really didn't have a clue what I was taking about. At this point I'd feel like I was qualified to work there, if they paid better of course.

I'm not denying the GS3 has better CPU and GPU but, 9 times out of 10 they don't know that... For arguments sake I could just say 1.5ghz dual core (since that's all they have on the spec list) 8mp cam/2mp front. I'm just trying to figure out how they consider it an upgrade. It sounded like it was solely because it is newer, which is kind of a stupid thing to argue lol.
I just basically told her that's the only one I would accept as a replacement and that everything else was too much of a downgrade, she said something about it just came out a few months ago and that was it. I pretty much just made sure she knew that the razr and LG phone was taken as a joke lol. I asked her if the razr was even HD and she said "the battery will probably last longer" and I'm like um ok? So? My battery last me all day no problem and that I don't really care about that. I said I care more about how ugly the screen is than anything lol.
She didn't say much, idk if she just didn't know or if she was avoiding my questions. It was almost laughable.
I didn't think to ask, though, if there would be an upgrade cost, or anything like that. I don't really want to go sign a contract just to get a phone that functions ya kno? Lol. Plus idk if they can give me my 4gigs of data and unlimited minute/messaging thing that I have now. Will they keep me in the same plan if I sign a contract or do I have to sign to a new plan? Would you know?

I don't disagree, I agree with you entirely. I'm not sure about the upgrade fee but I'm pretty sure that you'd keep your original plan.
