Anyone get their phone yet? Can someone verify that the download booster is indeed disabled? I'm waiting for someone to verify it on an actual production, sold-at-retail device before I post about it on Android Police.
Oh AT&T... how I loathe you!

I own 32gb S4 USA bought directly from AT&T. I am waiting to see if S5 32gb will come out too.

Yeah. The Note 3 also has really low touch latency (probably because they have the stylus and want it to work well). We don't know the S5's yet so we can't compare, but I bet the Note 3 will still be lower. I never much cared for the Note line because of the big screen, but I guess they use the extra space to pack it with higher-end hardware.

It's very optimistic of you to think Tmobile wouldn't operate as ATT does if they were as large as ATT. Their strategy to gain customers is to play the good guy but what would be their motivation if they had the power ATT does?
I don't know. That is a good point. AT&T was not always like this. They have grown so much the last 5 years and become more stubborn. Doing what they like because they can.
T-Mobile's current position is to gain new subscribers and retain existing ones. What happens when they do reach the size of AT&T? I don't know. If John Legere is in charge, I would not worry about it as much.
I'm more of a pessimist when it comes to large companies I will admit. I do love what Legere is doing since now I can be on ATT and have no contract pricing with 10gigs of data. However, I don't know if I believe his shtick of bashing ATT and "shaking up the industry" is anything more than an act to increase Tmobiles brand. In my mind if he were to take over ATT he would be unseen just like all the other telco CEOs. The fact he hasn't come right out and bashed a potential merger with Sprint, but instead indirectly endorsed it shows me he is just very good at what he does, and that's make the shareholders money, not help the consumer in the long run . For now, his strategy to help consumers and build up tmobile align well but I don't see that lasting forever.
I also remember when Verizon was the smaller carrier at the launch of the OG iPhone, they had great programs like yearly upgrade credits and no activation/upgrade fees and what not. Now look at them, they are worse than ATT when it comes to consumer friendly policies and all of those programs are gone. At least ATT lets you keep grandfathered unlimited and still upgrade.

Are you sure the Unlocked G900M doesnt support AT&T LTE? I was looking this over Galaxy S5 Specs while comparing this...here. Am i missing something?
From what I've heard, the T-Mobile variant supports all of AT&T's bands, but signal strength isn't as good as on the AT&T model.
The signal strength claim was based off of the T-Mobile S4 and it's compatibility with AT&T bands but poor reception on them.
So no concrete tests on signal strength for the T-Mo, just speculation based off of a previous pattern.

I actually am a bit of a...phone whore and own the AT&T Galaxy S4 and the GPE Galaxy S4. I also have the Tmobile Note 3 unlocked for AT&T LTE use and all of them work as expected. I cant tell a difference at all when it comes to signal strength. ?
Nope. Only models that support AT&T LTE are the AT&T model (obviously) and the T-Mobile one.
Some people couldn't. I also used the TMO Note 3 on AT&T. LTE signal was awful, HSPA signal was fine. In areas with weak signal, my N900T would often connect to H+. Definitely an issue.

I'm kinda tired of people saying onboard storage isn't an issue with SD cards, because to many it is.
Lots of apps don't support being installed on MicroSD, and even those that do are performance limited by the relatively low bandwidth of MicroSD cards (even the fastest ones out there). I'd much rather have GTA on my built-in flash storage so I can play it with no stutters or problems whatsoever.
You can't install many games on a 16GB phone, especially considering they're usually filled up with almost 8GB as the OS.
I understand that for media and photos, SD cards are great. I'm just trying to emphasize that they're not the best solution for everyone.

16GB may not be an issue for everyone, but why can't they just give the customer the choice at pre-launch? I have no problem paying more for storage. Why does Apple sell every color and size up front from day 1? That's what I don't get. Since they are dying so much to be like Apple, then why can't they at least do that?1
Agreed -- it really doesn't make any sense at all. All model options should be available from day 1, no exceptions. That's one thing Apple does an excellent job at. They announce their devices and the same day you can start preordering any color/storage model, assuming the stock is available, of course. It pissed me off even more, because we had to wait this long after the S5 announcement to just preorder it...and then we don't have all the options available? Very annoying.1
