JackFetch Posted December 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 That girl on the T-Mobile 4G commercials is extremely hot, so I forgive them. She has giant elf ears though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted June 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 I just ordered the G2x. It says it's out of stock, but my order went through so maybe they still fill upgrade orders. They gave me a delivery date estimate so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Gazelle says they will give me $128.00 for my old phone so that's good news.

MaxPower Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 It's got an Nvidia chip in it? That's sick! Good to see it's got the HDMI as well. My housemate is a rep/trainer for Sony Ericsson so I've had one of the xperia Xplay's here for a few weeks. It's not that impressive to be honest. Great for gaming, but the internet and phone call component is just middle of the road. BUT, I'm really digging these new Android OS upgrades. Apple really need to watch themselves, when I sit the boring, icon only non jailbroken Apple iPhone screen next to the latest Android screen it's scary. It's a whole generation behind. The android has live information updates on the home screen; live facebook, twitter, news, public transport information, all on the home screen without clicking in to an app. That for me makes it so much more advanced.

JackFetch Posted June 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 The G2x is supposed to be the fastest phone out right now. It's also a stock Android phone so no bloated carrier crap. Apple is playing catch up because Google updates a few times a year. iOS 5 is just now getting notifications like Android has had all along. Where Apple has had the biggest advantage is hardware.

JackFetch Posted June 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 I got my tracking number and according to UPS I should get it Wednesday. I guess "Out of Stock" doesn't really mean out of stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxPower Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 With my phone up for renewal in the next couple of months, I really can't see a reason to stick with Apple. The problem is, how do I choose which Android to go with! I'm even going to look at the Nokia/MS ones as well. Jack, what is the G2x like?

JackFetch Posted July 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 I like it. I haven't had the problems everyone else seems to have. The camera is awesome, and was named the best camera on any phone by consumer reports. The only major gripe I have is that the antenna is shit. It's completely random if I have full bars or no signal from minute to minute. I think it suffers from the same "grip of death" problem the iPhone had. I'll see when I get a case for it. That Evo 3d is really popular. I can't do anything but stock Android though, and there are only a few of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venneh Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Just a question. For those of you with Verizon and who have a 3G capable smartphone, how much are you paying a month, if you're comfortable saying? I'm with AT&T and for a 500 min, unlimited text, and 2 gig data plan (I use maybe a quarter of my minutes in any given month and barely a gig of data), I'm paying about $95/mo. Wondering what pricing options are like with Verizon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 T-Mobile is killing it with unlimited text, talk and data for 79.99 a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Ah, here's the thing. Do they support iPhones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Nope, but the Samsung Galaxy 4G is better anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Out of interest, am I the only person left in the world, who only uses their phone to call and text? Christ I'm old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc20willsave Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 So, I'm at a crossroads. My current phone is slowly becoming a piece of crap and I'm fed up with Blackberry after they're internet outage a few weeks back and how they're way of making up for a serious problem is to offer customers access to a protection plan deal. So, Friday I'm getting a new phone. Right now I'm debating if I want to go expensive and get an iPhone 4 or being fiscal and get the LG Marquee which I can get for 50 bucks. I'm on Sprint if that helps any. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxPower Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 I think I'm definitely going to get a Samsung Galaxy S2. To those that have an android phone, what do you use as your iTunes replacement, for podcasts, music management, etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobobob_100 Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 To those that have an android phone, what do you use as your iTunes replacement, for podcasts, music management, etc? An ipod, if i used my phone to play music or audio it would die in about an hour and an half and heat up to a hundred and twenty degrees (not joking, thanks Droid x2).

MaxPower Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Sorry I meant what software on your machine do you use to manage subscriptions, automatic downloads of podcasts, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted December 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 I have an iPod and an Android phone because that's the one thing Android sucks at. They think everything should be streamed over the internet, and I live in the real world where the internet isn't always there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxPower Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Wow really? I might need to reconsider this whole android thing then? My iPhone is always charged, but my ipod can go flat between uses which is annoying when I want to use it. Plus the whole auto downloading and syncing is extremely time efficient. I am definitely with you though, this whole 'Cloud' thing is great as back up system, but as a primary way to consume media it's just crazy.

MaxPower Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 So I got the Galaxy S2 and you're right, the audio part of it isn't that flash hot. But I have found a few apps that auto download podcasts, but am still looking as I want something that integrates more seamlessly with songs and video. Oh and that software from Samsung, Kies, is just woeful. The downside to the Galaxy so far is that there appears to be so much bloatware on it, yet very few useful apps.The customisation is fantastic but as an out of the box solution it's currently a long way behind the iPhone.

JackFetch Posted December 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 That's why I only buy stock Android phones(Nexus). They don't come with bloatware, and they are the first to get updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
