I wish it had 4g LTE. It works good until you put it next to a LTE phone. I have had this phone longer than any other, 16 months. I carry only one device to do it all. Wishing there was an upgrade but there are no other 8" phones coming. Six months from now I may fall back to Nexus 6 & 9. I took my ATT sim out of Note 3 and plugged it in and was making calls. Works great, awesome device.

Maybe you got too many apps open Boo. My 4G is pretty quick. Not my iPad quick, but fast enough. That said, I only use it for playing music off a dock these days. Even if I trade it in, it's still going to cost me $170. Maybe for people who actually play lots of games it's worth upgrading. Looks like music and movie based users won't find it worthwhile.

This is a good phone. Jump on it while you have the chance to get it so cheap. My son has one and bought it at Walmart for $80 plus tax. It is an awesome phone. Don't believe people when they say it is lousy. He gets good pictures and he is logged into Facebook and publishes his pictures thru wifi. And you don't need the $25 plan. You can have the 10 cents a min plan and just don't register the phone on your gophone plan. And pay for text messages extra. A gophone rep told me to buy it from anyone other than A T and T and that way you would not have to pay the data/talk plan.

Yes, it work with T-Mobile and it's pretty fast. https://twitter.com/jlinnation/status/530986477350432768However, don't expect to do any major uploading / downloading with it. T-mobile restricts you and will cut your connection on purpose if you try to download or upload a certain amounts of MB. I was cut off at about 50mb.

So far it's working well for me. I ride a royal star venture and use a cardo scala rider for communication bike to bike with my wife and to hear turn by turn directions from the 390lm. It seems to work well with the curvy road option although I haven't used it that much. But I will say the only down side is entering or searching for a destination is clunky at best. Being accustomed to a smartphone with the advantage of the internet to auto complete or find multiple things you may be looking for it feels like a step back. You have to type the exact name of the place you want to go or it won't find it. But once you get used to that limitation it works well.

I'm using it on T-Mobile in the Houston area and it works great! LTE amd all. Haven't tried it in other markets.

Have to be subscribed to their isecurity+ software service, like $7 a camera per month. Don't think you can get messaging to smart phone/tablet, etc without their service ( isecurity+). Then you have instant messaging 24x7. Seems their system down last two days, can't even get on website.

Our version is the one designed for the Australian market. It works fine in the US, but we only get 3G with Tmobile because the frequency for 4g lte for T-Mobile is different than is used in Australia. We haven't used it in Europe yet. Even at 3g, it seems fast. Great phone and camera.

I have one and it works great. However, there is a hitch. Last I heard T-Mobil no longer accepts new customers. There are two SIM cards inside. Each can be associated with a number. When I bought mine, I was assigned a number. I can use it anywhere in the country that I can plug into the internet. I'd suggest you contact T-Mobile. If they won't set the service up for you there is also Vontage which works the same way, but at a slightly higher price. 2 notes: if the router(the device in the photo) stops working, you will need to buy another. It's the same with Vontage. It cost me about $60, not to mention the time and effort. The vontage one works with fax machines, the T-Mobile one doesn't. I have one and it works great.

To be honest, I resisted Instagram with my first Samsung 19000. The phone stopped working suddenly, for no discernable reason, and I returned it for a new one. I did download Instagram on this one. It's easy and it's free. Snapchat is also on there. Now I am resisting that one. We shall see!

Unsure how it works with T-Mobile. However, I will say I like the sim card slot feature. I love in Japan and with my provider DOCOMO, I usually have problems connecting any unlocked devices. This one worked like a champ as soon as I plugged it up. The only thing I had to do was manually set the APN.

i used mine for a year. my only complaint was data and using the super slow browser. but the phone was ok. i got this phone because a "Boost" rep told me that "WHY YES you can use your phone as a hot spot.(didnt see the need to add that it cost extra)but as a phone i had no trouble out here away from any major city. but i am on a major hiway.I-44. good luck and i hope you enjoy your phone

Fast enough for gaming and other stuff... Should be fast for the "YT"... I don't know what it is by the way... If it is YouTube then yes it is quite good for that.

I am using n8 on t-mobile's unlimited web for phones($10.00 per month). it connects 3.5 g with 2 mb/s download speed and .6mb/ upload. From my conversation with t-mobile customer service , they do know what phone you have from the IMEI number even you use non-tmobile phone.

Dede, I don't think that T-Mobile even sell this one anymore. This one is being sold by a 3rd party and the software is extremely old by Android standards. If you want a decent Android tablet for about the same price then go directly to Google and purchase a new one from them. You can get a 7 inch from Google that does WiFi for only $229 and will be much faster have up to date software and have better resolution that this old tablet.

I took it out of the box and following the instructions enabled it on T-Mobile. It works good for me, I put it on the $60 per month T-Mobile plan. It syncs with my car, provides a hot-spot for my computer (Wi-Fi) and plays Pandora through my car using a cable and the utility port. A good phone and I had no difficulty with it being blocked.

If you intend to watch videos on your device, you will eat all your data in no time and pay a fortune. I bought 4 gigs and used my device on a 30-day trip for lesser data-consuming tasks like music, email and facebook (no vids) and used about half that, mainly by taking advantage of any wireless services we had available (hotels, restaurants) along the way. It all depends on your usage; it's no substitute for a wireless modem, tho.
