Haha nope,

I'm staying on Verizon. 

If you didn't do the research before you bought the phone in the first place, you wouldn't have this.

Dude...

this thread is telling me i can root my phone

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2784860

is it a lie?

OFF TOPIC: I suggest every poll from now on to have "**CK EA" option instead of "Other"

I did think something was off

but i did not think it was this off

I saw on the one plus fourms they called them the red devils

NOW I KNOW

WHY THEY CALL THEM THAT

EVERYONE WHO IS A TECH ENTHUSIAST SHOULD HATE VERIZON

Verizon and Time Warner Cable, it's not technically a 'monopoly' but it really is... you don't have a choice, and the only option is terribad

I got it for 150 with my upgrade

 

the other ones were very expensive

 

im just saying the device is worth 600 ;-;

 

A s5 is not worth 600 dollars at all the S6 is around there i just got one for like 590 at tmobile 32gb and a 64gb for 680, But anyways if rooting the phone is a big deal to you that would be something to look into before buying just like you wouldnt buy a phone without an sd card if that was a big deal for you either...

 

There still dicks for Locking it though so i am on your side with that in general good luck to unlocking it also since now your stuck in the situation

I wouldn't go that far lol. iirc they were one of the first carriers in the US to even have LTE (probably because their 3g network was junk). 

Their 3G network wasn't bad in terms of speed/connectivity....it just sucked because it didn't support data AND talk/text at the same time. 

 

Also, let's not forget, Verizon was one of the few carriers (looking at you Sprint, ATT, and maybe TMobile) who didn't try to pass off HSPA+ as 4G.

Well, there 3G network was slow compared to ATT and Tmobile's 3.5G/HSPA+ networks. And lucky for me, my average speeds on Verizon's 3G network was usually under .5mbps down so it was really really bad.

Verizon Wireless gives you 14 days to return or exchange the device for any reason, even if you so happen to dislike the color of the device. You only have 3 days from purchase to return the device and not get charged any applicable upgrade or activation fees.

Source: I sell phones for Verizon.

if you have to insist you think for yourself, i'm not going to believe you.
