9 months after it goes through the FCC it's just now coming out!

No wonder why SE can't succeed in the U.S, they don't move their products. 9 months later this thing is already outdated, even by Sony's own standards! I read that HTC will start using Sony's Super LCDs screens, but SE isn't even using their own technology because they take so long for their products to reach market. Plus I saw no mention of wifi n in the article, more outdated specs.

Since SE & AT&T didn't make any mention of 2.2 then we'll have to wait til next week to find out if that's another thing that's outdated.

And of course AT&T's data plans render smartphones useless. Can't listen to podcasts daily cause that will add up, can't watch videos cause that will add up also.

I use my phone pretty heavily and I didn't manage to clear the 2gb data cap. This consists of pandora every day to and from work, as well as use on facebook and sometimes Pandora during work, I take runs at night where I use pandora as well and haven't gone over. ๐Ÿคจ

And I thought I was using a lot of data on my HTC Rhodium. Apparently, half a gigabyte is beans to the real heavy phone user!

Well, I don't have cable tv, I don't have home internet. So I watch news videos on Newsy, FOX News, FOX Business, plus I listen to podcasts on Stitcher, CNET Audio podcasts, FOX Radio app, so I actually use my smartphone, it's a very, very expensive monthly bill, and its important to me that I get my $ worth.

No.

But you know what I don't get that -NOBODY- on Phone Scoop has ever, ever been able to explain to me. Websites look exactly the same on my Motorola Droid as they do my Windows Vista laptop. Websites don't look any different.

Right now I'm not streaming. I'm replying to your post ๐Ÿ˜
You guys on phone scoop seem to think 5gb/7gb is so, so much. These wireless bills are a lot of money!!!! And I like to use what I pay a lot of money for! I don't have cable tv, I don't have home internet. So my smartphone is my main source for news, whether its tech news, or regular U.S./World news.

I guess we all have lives... I thought I was a heavy user, but compared to you, Im just "occasional user" I sometimes go a little over the 2BG (I still have the unlimited plan) but most months I stay within the 2GB. (last month I still could not go over even though I tried) I use pandora at least 2 hrs per day and I have two TV shows that I follow daily on Cellular Video. If this is not heave usage, I guess you're just abusing....

No offense, but 5.6GB per month is a bit too much... I can easily see your carrier sending some letter to you implying that you use Wi-Fi instead.

Not so far, I've been with Verizon for almost 5 months, and haven't been sent any warning yet.

Do you have cable tv and home internet? Cause I don't!

And guess what? When I had Clear I was using 35gb's a month! Oooohhh you probably think that's a lot too don't you. But guess what, Clear's wimax speeds were good enough for me to watch Hulu on my laptop, and guess what video uses a lot of data.

I don't blame consumers for using too much data, I blame the wirless companies for not having the capacity for data intensive applications such as Hulu, porn and news. So unless Verizon's LTE plans have 35gb alotments then Verizon's LTE is useless, cause fast networks will be used for video, like Hulu & Netflix, which are data intensive.
