    HSPA/WCDMA: 850/1900/2100 MHz
    GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
    LTE: 700/850/AWS/1900 MHz (US)

    Looks like both versions support T-Mobile LTE, but if you're not in an LTE area, you're going to rely on T-mobile's 1900mhz HSPA+ (which is spotty), and not consistent with their 1700mhz coverage.

    Fully compatible with AT&T and it's LTE, even as an unlocked device

    The S4's Super AMOLED is better. They tuned it for better color balance, and it still has that advantage of pure blacks that LCD can't reproduce. At 440ppi/1080p pentile arrangement is a non factor. Both phones have great screens, but most objective reviewers agree that the S4's display is better.

    The One does have better sound.

    S4 has a better camera, but the One probably performs better in low light situations.

    I've always read it's a personal preference as Amoled offers richer colors, but they're often oversaturated.

    There you go. Usability. Not just how fast the mutherfuker can run. I owned android phones and tablets, and now completely converted to i-stuff. The usability of i-pad and i-phone is way way better.

    Thank you! Looks like I'll be going with the 32 GB. Will report back after having used it a couple of days to let you guys how it is, for those of you still undecided.

    Yeah, but I'd have to go to ATT over Verizon. That ain't happening.

    They said I don't have to switch plans. They said I would just get a $20 discount on my plan for the duration of paying off the phone.

    Why is Verizon only offering the S4 16GB phone for pre-order? I'm planning on going with it, would hate buyers remorse as this is the one I've wanted all along. I could care less about the plastic, I just want a faster phone, bigger screen, better camera options and 4G. Also sucks that I have to pay the full $649 price to keep my unlimited data, but I'll keep this phone for a long time like I did the iPhone 4.

    As far as I know, it's not considered an upgrade anymore. You are essentially buying your phone at full price, therefore you can change devices at any time, as long as you are willing to pay for the device (either in full, or through monthly installments). If your down payment is $150, after $20 installments for 24 months, you end up paying $630 for the device.

    I have AT&T, so if I'm wrong someone please correct me.
