I am too except I had to root the VZW GS3 to use data overseas. They pushed the 4.1 Global phone update which, by the way, locks down APN settings.
I guess I’d do the same if I were Verizon. Why not force a shit ton of business subscribers to pay you $25 per 100 megs
Gonna make the switch to a rooted jelly bean rom from ICS on sprint…
Currently running Blazer rom and its been great, but i’m debating others.
Any recommendations… phone is a GS3

It’s some software hack to get half ass LTE it doesn’t contain the proper antenna etc

I felt that way till I started traveling constantly for work and needed my phone to manage trips, email, client contacts, etc.
Now the thing just needs to perform its core functions properly if it can’t do that :tdown:
Yeah there’s been a couple of times when I was on travel and tossed on stock firmware so taht I didn’t have to deal with buggy custom rom bullshit. Of course then I deal with buggy stock rom bullshit. I definitely see the appeal of end-to-end products like iphones or blackberries back when they weren’t 3 years away from relevancy.

does anyone have any idea if verizon will be coming out with anything in the near future or what seems to be a good phone right now? my contract is up pretty soon ~april so its time for a new phone.
sticking with android. right now i have a droid 3, sometimes a little slow since its a 3g phone, and maybe once a month itll be glitchy or lock up, but otherwise im very happy with it and use it more than i should lol. seems like theyre doing away with the keyboard which sucks…still like to use it about half the time on mine.

The DNA looks pretty appealing
As far as I know, galaxy s3, razr maxx hd, droid DNA are vzw flagships right now.

Google now can now be a widget. Nexus devises are starting to get 4.2.2 OTA update.
pfft…If you haven’t rommed on VZW yet, you’re wasting time.
oh and 4.2.2 disables the unsupported LTE in the nexus 4 like I thought it would

If you skip the middle section on the actual fuzzing it goes onto attacks for the last 15-20min
Ubuntu for tablets and phones… if only Microsoft did this for Windows…

If you're nostalgic and miss your Commodore C64, FocusWill Coolship could be right for you. It's a keyboard desktop computer running Android 4.0 ICS (or a customized of Android version called CoolShip OS) powered by Rockchip RK3066 SoC with 1GB RAM,...
that’s a cool idea.
i’ll have to play with one.
