jerrodh Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 I'll throw something out a bit different but I got the LGG2 and this phone is amazing. Super fast and battery life is excellent. I always have WiFi on even when travelling about (pretty big waste of battery life), use GPS a bit, make some phone calls or play some games, text all day never come close to dieing. Super fast and I am sure you can get a good deal for it too. Well less than $300.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gergwheel1647545492 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 I have been looking into buying a phone outright as well. I found the Gazelle store on Ebay to have the best prices on the HTC One. I think this is the route I'm going to go. http://www.ebay.com/itm/HTC-One-PN07310-Good-Condition-Silver-Verizon-Smartphone-/231093675929?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item35ce41a799 please correct me if this is inaccurate. But i believe you can buy any HTC One and after you unlock it, it can be used on any network, CDMA or GSM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wease Posted January 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 The Nexus 5 and the G2 is practically the exact same phone. They might be, but at least on the T-Mobile site, the LG G2 is $600 as opposed to the $396 Nexus 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is there something I'm missing? Sorry to thread jack, please infract me and delete this post if its offensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRed05 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) Right from the link "Verizon version supports LTE 750 instead of 1900" Edit: So after looking at all the numbers, you should be able to get T-Mo 3G on a SIM-unlocked HTC One in Columbus and other areas where 3G is on 1900mhz PCS band 2.

Wease Posted February 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 An update to this: I ended up getting two Nexus 5's, and going to T-Mobile from Verizon. The phone itself is so much better than the Razr I was using; faster and a huge battery life. I can leave the phone out all night and only use up 2% of the battery. :nod: As for T-Mobile, as it's been said, if you're in the Columbus metro area, it's fine. But I don't have to go too much further out from my house in northwest Powell before I have little data signal. I was in Marysville the other day and got nothing at all for data. But I'm not often out of the Columbus metro, or using my phone outside of my home, so it works for me. And my wife is on our wi-fi like 95% of the time, so it works for her as well. I'm also paying like $97 a month for two lines, plus data, including my work discount. FAR cheaper than Verizon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
