Well you asked what the problem was with 21 mbps and the problem is that don't get it you get less than 1 mbps often.

I don't care if you don't use data. You are here arguing the merits of different data networks.

Totally disagree, worked great for me for my S2LTE, but I returned that today to get in the queue for the Nexus.

Saying that because people are still waiting to get their 4S even though they can just go to store to get one without waiting.

GN still not in the reservation system

**Eluder** · 11-15-2011, 01:07 PM

It is now!
Just got in.

**madskillz101** · 11-15-2011, 01:22 PM

they charge $40 to reserve?

**bongdw** · 11-15-2011, 01:34 PM

Their reservation system is such a disgusting money grab.

Early adopters get shafted on pricing because of the circumstances, which is acceptable. But to gouge customers just to RESERVE a phone and be an early adopter is just sickening. It should be free, because shortly after the next wave of customers will get to enjoy a price drop anyway.

If someone's eligible for an upgrade they should get the right to reserve a phone, or perhaps if you have x amount of tenure they could offer a free reservation, etc. It shouldn't be something customers pay for out of pocket. I'll be buying a Galaxy Nexus off network. Screw Rogers.

**Eluder** · 11-15-2011, 01:39 PM

But that $40 you get back, so it is free, what's the big deal?
Doesn't anyone read the terms??

**mrswoosh** · 11-15-2011, 01:58 PM

Ahh the 1 hour I wasn't checking it goes live.

I'll just walk in to a store 2 days after release and buy it for $20 less.... it worked for the sgs2lte...

But I really hope this thing is LTE, bell's site does not mention LTE

It won't be, the LTE version uses Verizon frequency, it's technically impossible for it to work on Bell/Rogers unless they switched to a qualcomm chip. This will not happen since Google has chosen TI OMAP processors as a reference design.

that's why im also passing on this one... i want LTE on my next phone! i get around 10mbps on my 4s i can"t imagine what ill get with a lte device. im on the 6gb plan and i wouldn't mind pay 50$ for 10gb!

Of course, but I don't read these terms for upgrades because Rogers hasn't come out with a phone I've wanted in years. They always change the upgrade rules (usually for the worse). And if they ever do come out with equipment I'm remotely interested in, it's decades after the competition.

Just reserved mine, got number 27. If I can get it earlier from Bell or Virgin, and it's unlocked, with no carrier crap on it, I'll just cancel and buy there.
