Just want to make sure that the ability to port your Sprint number to Google Voice hasn't happened yet for all users right? I have an LG Optimus S and would like to do this.

Hasn't happened yet, will probably happen in the next few months.

Is anyone else shocked at how useful and seemingly painless this GV backend integration with Sprint is? I'm not used to such a convenient and free feature from a large cell phone company.

Wait, is it active for you now? I thought it was still a few months away.

With EPRP, does the 10$ smartphone fee still apply?

Yep.

Just integrated with Google Voice. Having never used GV before, I'm loving the little things like being able to use my browser to check voicemail and send texts.

This honestly really upsets me. I really want to be able to turn the 3D off.

I thought it was mentioned before that turning 3d on/off is a software toggle.

I thought SERO-P people didn't have to pay the $10 fee because that's what the "premium" part was. Did that get changed?

SERO-P lets you use non-SERO devices. You then need to pay the additional $10 for smartphone data.

Aren't smartphones the non-sero devices? :confused:

There's some stuff in between that isn't on SERO but also doesn't count as a smartphone. None of them are worth having.

Am I right in thinking that without rooting there's no way to remove the Nascar and other apps that came built-in that I don't want? They don't show up in the AppBrain list.

If you use an alternative launcher like LauncherPro, you can hide them but not remove them. Once they're hidden I just forget about them.

Hate to bring up Google Voice again, but is there any way to make it so my Google Voice number just rings my phone? When I pick up calls from the Google Voice number, I get a prompt where I have to choose to accept the call or send it to voicemail. I'd prefer to keep my Sprint number fully-functional as well.

Thanks.

From the Google Voice page, Voice Settings>Calls>turn off Call Screening

What's wrong with Pentile displays? I looked at the Epic Touch and the Photon side by side in the Sprint store and couldn't tell a huge difference.

The typical complaints are that it has a sort of "screen door" matrix effect, and that straight lines are not actually straight, but are "jaggy".

Here's a comparison shot, click for big:

especially since sprint is now emailing incoming mms messages for gv integration

Whoa, how do I turn this on? MMS messages are the one thing I don't get via Google Voice.

I called Sprint to cancel TEP on my Evo4G, and decided to ask about the Galaxy Nexus as well...what a mistake that was. The guy had no clue what I was talking about and asked 4 times if I was talking about the Galaxy S or the Epic touch...do they just not train anybody in customer service? I even talked to a supervisor who had no clue what I was talking about either, or anything about 4G LTE.

To be fair, you're asking about a phone that doesn't exist on Sprint yet.

Is it possible/a good idea to buy out my contract if I'm on EPRP? I'd love to get a Galaxy Nexus, I'm about 18 months into a contract with an LG Optimus S. I'm waffling between waiting it out until the contract ends or biting the bullet soon for the GalNex.

Don't forget that with the Android phones, carriers also have to give the ports of Nexus software their approval - often with their own added bloatware and bullshit. Not sure if Galaxy Nexus have any of this... I've been pretty happy with how de-bloated the Evo LTE is compared to my Evo 4G. That said, who knows when I'll get Jelly Bean without rooting. On the Evo 4G at least, I was ok with waiting until official updates to Froyo and Gingerbread (though I got rooted versions of those official updates).

This is not the case for the GSM Galaxy Nexus, as it is not tied to any carrier. The Verizon and Sprint versions still have the carrier approval process.
