How does the 4G work? I didn't see any comments re: this. Is it expensive to use, how is the speed, compared to wifi, etc? Will it work for GPS?

If u have the wi Gi u wud be using it more to get online. The 4G worked great, no issues. My favorite was the durability and the screen resolution. Did not try to use the GPS function, so can't comment. Hope this helped

Well I bought two for my kids and they just use WiFi I didn't see any setting for 4g network and not it's not expensive to use as love as you have a hotspot or WiFi you can access anything GPS etc...

Some of the games/apps seem to require WiFi. However there are some that don't. Of course it took a little more time for some things to load but yes, for the most part it does seem to work using the 3g network.

This is what I think, it doesn't matter what you use but I noticed mine wasn't hardly working until recently I set it to automatic in its settings and bam! Now it says 4G and the signal is better. I didn't know this and was about to get rid of this thing along with some other junk electronics but was just going through the settings and when I set it to automatic it picked up the signal where I was and its good to go now. I think you just have to enter the password from the device and it should work with anything I think. I have Verizon so obviously it works. Hope this helps.

>> F. Robinson says:>> I use this phone with T-Mobile, I have the pay as you go >> plan with unlimited data, So I couldn't tell you what they will bill you for.I have the vanilla prepaid plan. Does this phone require a data plan for the GPS to work?

I never had the 3G. I'm sorry. Verizon has been good, though. I've never had a problem connecting, even when I was in some tiny towns in the middle of nowhere. I wouldn't recommend verizon if you plan on using lots of data...videos, gaming, etc...because of the cost of data used. However, if you aren't a netflix junkie and just want to surf the net or whatever, it may be a good option for you.

Hi Ester. That's the main reason I bought it. Wifi assisted gps on the ipad doesn't work in most places in our country and definately not off shore. This tiny little bad elf is brilliant. One thing you do need to be wary of though ... make sure the gps remains firmly plugged in. I had someone on the helm for a while and she knocked the gps inadvertanly and went for half an hour not noticing that the arrow in the gps wasn't moving.

That's incredible that the most expensive tablet now A DAYS DOESN'T HAS THE gsm/sim connectivity. That reduce the capacity to use it outside the WiFi range, besides the waste of the GPS function!!!

Cool, thanks. It looks like this is exactly the phone I have been holding out for: GPS, awesome camera, etc...Does the GPS work flawlessly right out of the box, or are updates necessary?

As I know it works with 3g but I never used it and I don't know how the quality of this work. In common, I satisfy this device. I use it almost two months.

It will work on your phone and it will boost everything EXCEPT 4g data. The 4G version of this is due out very soon and it will be called Mobile 4G (Model 460108). If you are in weak signal areas most of the time it will be only 3g anyhow, that being said I personally am going to wait to get the newer unit because I feel that when I can get 4G I rather have that boosted than have to rely on 3g as my only means of getting data. Use this information on which unit you plan on buying. If you are using this to boost phone calls 99.99% of the time then this unit will be fine. I plan on downloading data (my primary reason for getting this is weather downloads on the road) so it makes more sense for me to wait for the newer model. $399 Retail, now for sale for $349 preorder from Wilson (3-5 weeks delivery) http://www.wilsonamplifiers.com/wilson-mobile-4g-50-db-amplifier-kit-460108/

Sorry but I've never tried that network, but according to Wilson electronics it should work with all networks, but it don't work with 4g its only 3g.

4g I just got my 3rd one, - first one didn't work at all, they took it back and got another one that worked for a few months, maybe 20 swims, then just stopped - my third one only worked once then stopped - so I am sending it back and not getting another one... only good part... only $40

Anybody having trouble using 3G data with AT&T;? My 5800 is showing excellent 3.5G signal but when I try using data it just gives me an error message. It works fine if I keep the phone in GSM-mode though...EDIT: An extremely stupid design choice in AT&T;'s SIM card structure. Even though I had a 3G capable sim card, it wasn't 3G-enabled so couldn't use the data (but oddly enough could use the bandwidth to talk to people. If anyone else has this problem, just go talk to someone at AT&T.;
