[Question] Which Phone Should I Buy?

[edcoolio]

You may very well have saved me hours of frustration on a future phone! Now I know.

I hope so, that is why I try to follow up on threads like this...you never know when there might be something useful to come out of it. The APN settings that were available on the rom worked, sort of. I noticed when I would try to download from the Play Store that the download would go very slowly, and almost always fail after awhile. I would recommend always googling for your carriers current best APN when getting a new phone, as even little differences that you think would not matter can really improve performance.

Good advice here.

The 850 3G band is GTG for for most areas if you are using an ATT MVNO. Straight Talk, for example, has an excellent app which will walk you through the exact correct settings for creating a new APN so that MMS and your 3G will work perfectly, based on your cell location.

It has worked perfectly on every phone I have ever setup.
