It was handy on vacation for reading books and not having to lug the laptop around

I use mine for a little of everything, it's definitely been worth the money to me. I use it a lot to just read Kindle books and other shit.

Gotta admit, I've really settled in to the iPad I have from work. It's really convenient. It seems to do some things better than a desktop, and its size means its on-screen keyboard is close enough to full size for me to type fast like this:
(except without the BSoD)

So T-Mo's uncarrier announcements (for anyone who cares) were:
1. The test drive program (called 7 Night Stand). Cheat on your carrier by having a 7 Night Stand with TMo. You go to their website starting Monday, give them a credit card to verify who you are and probably have something to charge should you run off with their phone. They don't charge you any fees or deposits or anything, they just send you an iPhone 5S with TMo service to test for 7 days. After 7 days, you bring it into your nearest TMo store and tell them if you want to sign up or not. Sounds win. Even existing customers can do it if they just want to try out an iPhone lol 2. Music Freedom. Pandora, iHeartRadio, iTunes Radio, Rhapsody, Spotify, Slacker, and Milk Music no longer count against your data limit. You can go to their website and vote for more apps that you'd like added to the list. For people who already have the unlimited high speed plan, they can use the new TMo unRadio app that has no ads, unlimited skips, choose what song you play, etc. The unRadio app is $4/mo for non-unlimited peeps if interested.

I've been happy with them. The only annoyance I had was the first bill being small and prorated and then another one shortly after with the phone cost on it and more prorated and then my discount from work went through, which changed my billing cycle which resulted in more weird bills. Once all that shit levelled out, it's been great. Their phone support was great when I called to ask questions, the dude in the retail store was cool, and I've had no trouble with my service yet.

Well I live in the middle of town and rarely leave the city. The only time I've had bad service was when we went to a family friends house out in the middle of nowhere in a small town an hour or two from here. I actually managed to grab a bar of service off and on which I honestly didn't expect.
I think Legere said they are beefing up their existing network before increasing their footprint because they'd rather have a high quality network than a wide spread weak one. Something along those lines. According to coworkers with TMo, it has been getting better and better over the last few years. You can use the test drive program once a year so FIDIL try it every now and then lol

Yeah, that test drive program is something every carrier should have, even if it's with a basic flip phone just to test if you can get a fucking signal. Signal maps are bullshit.

Yep, that's what the ceo said before announcing the plans. The maps are bullshit, they all use different data to make them.
Apparently Apple is supplying the iPhones for free, which is why you can only test with an iPhone. At the Q&A thing at the end, they said that TMo users don't favor the iPhone as much as the other carriers so Apple wanted to try and get their phones in more people hands. Google/Sammy/LG/someone should step up and give some free phones too.

AOSP so much fast and clean
And this is using a ROM that has a bunch of random shit added to it (halo, active display, theming stuff, etc, etc, etc) so it's a bit bloated as far as AOSP goes but it runs great. S-Pen works fine, it just doesn't have the fancy apps to go with it (SNote, screenwrite, the pen pop-up, handwriting keyboard, etc).

He's not, and his phone won't update. Not sure what the hell is going on.
