I'm trying to decide whether to go with note 4 or 3

[s44]

I'm waiting to see if the Note 4 support band 12 LTE on TMo before using JUMP to get it.

Why wouldn't it? With AT&T folding their 700mhz into 12 as well, there's no reason for the US GSM models to suddenly ship with different radio hardware.

s44: lol

AFAIK, G3 is only Tmo phone that does...could be wrong. Would be SHOCKED if N4 does not.

I've been w/ big red for a decade. I JUST switched to Tmo and couldn't be happier...mind you I'm in a well covered area. It can be spotty from 4G to LTE, but it beats the crowded lanes of VZW in PHX. Well, before XLTE anyway. Getting rid of the unlimited plans should help too. But still...$250 for 50GB? I can pull that in a day on a job installing BF3. I don't care how fast your network is or how good your coverage is, if it's limited, it's not for me anymore. Maybe as a toy phone...like, for a hobby or something.

It kills me to know that M8 + WP are exclusive to VZW. It's going to force me back into Android or iOS. It saddens me.

edit: it's getting ridiculous to see sammy, life's good, and high tech computer get it all wrong so bad...we NEED this 1 phone to rule them all. It needs to come preloaded w/ all 3 OS, plus a couple partitions to play around in. Stupid phones...I hate em!

something I've learned:

If you get top of the line hardware right when it comes out, it will last you much longer and ultimately you get more value for your money.

I picked up my Note 2 on release day and am still using it. Definitely feel like I got a bargain. If I spread out the cost over 730 days its been such an investment. Helps me out a lot at school. And has more gaming potential than my DSi.

What I've learned is that if you like having top of the line, best thing is to buy, enjoy, then sell within a year, and use that money towards the next purchase.

But the Note 2 I kept for 2 years. It was that good. As much as I would like to go back to iOS or try Windows OS on a faster device, I just don't see myself w/ anything but a Note 4.

I have a Note 3, and from what is known about the Note 4, I don't see a reason to upgrade to it. I would only consider upgrading if they bumped the screen size.
