It's out. I have it. Not buggy, just fine. You can get it through kies. Don't go that route if your phone is rooted though cause it'll mess up the phone. Speaking from personal experience.

I just received this phone a while ago and love it. One thing I noticed was that the reception isn't good (for me anyways). I do not have an LTE simcard yet ( I get the 4G notification only ), but the reception I'm getting during calls keeps dropping and eventually I start cutting out from the person I'm talking to. I currently have my phone set to GSM / HSPA (not searching for lte )
It happened when I was talking to my gf and rogers rep. The problem must be on my end.
Anyone think the call quality will be better if I get that sim card? I hope so lol

I hope so lol | i too have horrible reception, worst than when i had a blackberry or an iphone, calls always dropping, and always one bar on 4G. It might just be my area because its usually better in other places, but still worse than other phones ive had.
Ill be getting an LTE sim soon so ill see if that helps

I would say this is quite an underrated phone. With the Nexus, Note, and S3 all by LTE's side, it makes this phone look like crap. However in my personal opinion, excluding the S3, LTE will dominate Nexus and Note. All you got to do is root your phone and go get yourself some kernel and rom. My recommendation would be CM9. It is very slim, fast, good on battery and has amazing functions. Best setup I have found to be would be CM9 RC2 rom, UCLF6 radio, with InstigatorX kernel. You can find all these files and roms in xda-developers. Great forum to be at if you want to know about your phone.

I do get service and data, but when I make calls the other person tells me it sometimes sounds like I'm talking from a distance. Thats my biggest pet peeve about talking on the phone

Telus or Bell on the other hand switch over automatically.
