Re: So what?
Thank you. And that is why Google doesn't make apps for WP8.
Re: If Google made a YouTube app for W8...
That's silly. The inverse logic that Google would counter with is: if anybody owned a Windows Phone, maybe we would divert resources to making one. In the meantime, if the app does what Google claims it's a clear violation of copyright laws as well. Open. Shut.
Re: The states get a worse processor than the international ?
AT&T had the gs3 refurbished for $30! Hope it's up to its hype. I can't use Navigator or Smart Truck on my phone now. One of HTC's "features" (their words not mine) is they kill apps for you so they can't run in the background. Nav only works in 2d mode now. Common problem on One X, rooted or otherwise. I'm really hoping I like the gs3.
At least they're honest?
They're not going to support your phone for the life of the contract. So...why would anyone with a brain buy one?
Re: Well that just sucks
They bring a lot on themselves. The One X was a screwjob to consumers, with its' crippling of multitasking, early model hardware problems, and complete lack of support. My GS3 comes in today. Hope I'm happy with it.
The states get a worse processor than the international ?
Why are the States getting a $#;++;er processor than the international version? Did the s3 suffer this fate too? This reminds me of the HTC One X(L) for AT&T. I bought it (the X) because of the RAVE reviews here and elsewhere, and it's been a major disappointment from day 1. Will Samsung release an octacore version in 6 months ala the One X+, thereby screwing consumers who bought their "flagship" device (hello HTC!)? Nah. I'm too burnt by ...
Re: Took them long enough
LOL. Everything IS running great on my phone now...except Google Maps. It's broken. Think I got a bad install. I gotta take it to a AT&T service center to have it reflashed.
Took them long enough
But, it's nice to have it. Noticeably smoother UI, but according to the built-in Task Manager and running apps list, I'm down 50 MB of RAM. This update was only change. I check it regularly throughout the day. I wonder how consuming more RAM has led to a quicker, smoother experience?
Imagine that
Sales decline when you gain a reputation for building half-@$$ hardware. Like my HTC One X for AT&T, a "flagship" device, which debuted with tons of hardware problems (wifi), and STILL no JB update, and a whopping 10 gb of available storage! But you pull a bait and switch, and release a jacked-up version (One X) 6 months later!
Re: Sprint must hate windows
How is it a shame? No one wants to buy a Windows phone. They're gawdy. Proven? Phonescoop just linked an article a few weeks ago stating Google won't even bother making apps for it (www.phonescoop.com/articles/article.php?a=11 642 ), because no one's using it. I can't wait to see what Mozilla comes up with. MORE open source is good,not bad. Unfortunately, since Mozilla is all about an open internet, AT&T would never adopt their phone, unless they could lock the bootloader, OS, ...
Re: Curious
Personally, I haven't seen anything from Gorilla Glass to impress me in relation to impact resistance: a friend dropped his iPhone 4S and it shattered like, well, glass. I've dropped 2 HTC phones--Inspire and a One X--from about 3 feet (bumped off a bench). Both shattered. Both landed on their backs, do the screen wasn't even the point of impact. Scratch resistant, maybe (I don't put keys and my phone in the same pocket), but I've really been disappointed ...
Re: What did you expect?
I dunno. I guess I believed Schmidt when he said last year that they were going to produce their own phone and "show Apple how it's done." I think that was Eric. Either way, I just thought that was their game plan.
So, what exactly are they keeping besides the patents?
They seem to be shuttering EVERY piece and plant of Motorola. Are they still planning on making phones, or are they just going to license the patents and slap the name on some half@$$ LG POS?
Re: 256kbps?
LOL I don't know anyone on boost.
Re: As goes Boost, goes Sprint...
this can be deleted. I edited my original reply.
Re: As goes Boost, goes Sprint...
That's a nice attitude. We have a right to speak our thoughts, opinions, and feelings on the topic. If you're that sick of it, maybe you should stop reading forums, message boards, newspapers, or anything else. No one's forcing you to.
Re: As goes Boost, goes Sprint...
What's amusing to me is, when AT&T throttled its "top 5%" I would hit 20 gb before I got throttled. Now I'm throttled at 5.
As goes Boost, goes Sprint...
Look for Sprint to start throttling soon, right? So, if their throttle back is 256 kbps, what's AT&T's? I don't remember.
Re: Give 'em a Boost..
What constitutes abuse of unlimited? Rhetorical. Don't bother answering. We've had this fight on Phonescoop a thousand times since AT&T first started throttling. Its always have consumers & people under 40 vs sales trolls & people who miss the days when their BlackBerry was a status symbol.
I should've gotten it instead
instead of the increasingly disappointing HTC One X
Re: It goes back to the monopoly days
...it was rhetorical, guys. But, thanks, T Bone, for the history lesson. I liked your response.
Does AT&T not know who to pay off?
Seems like the FCC really doesn't like them. Maybe they should've donated more to Barry's reelection fund.
Re: Does anyone actually use Facetime?
If you had family across the country or further, you'd think differently I'd wager. As a trucker, I use Tango to say goodnight to my daughter. And I don't hold the phone "up to my face." (???)
Re: AT&T might...
Personally, I don't think they should be forced to allow FT over cellular. But, isn't it free on their mobile share plans? I mean, don't they not charge data usage on it?
Re: Freedom to switch
Right. This isn't like the throttling unlimited customers argument from months back. They should be able to utilize their network how they want (without violating customer agreements). If we don't like it, we should switch. There's 2 companies offering unlimited now.
Re: Does anyone actually use Facetime?
If it didn't count towards your data usage,a lot of folks would. But, to answer your question: the vast majority of smartphone owners aren't tech savvy, just trendy. They use pre-installed apps because nothing else ever occurs to them.
Re: Look VZW. AT&T got it RIGHT!
Yeah, even though I preferred the top 5% throttling to their current model (worked out better for me), at least AT&T isn't gonna stiff me when and if I upgrade my phone. Good going, AT&T.
Doesn't sway me HTC
After buying the HTC Inspire 4G, and using it for the last year +, I can't imagine buying another HTC phone. The build quality and overall $#!++!~£$$ of this phone puts me off HTC products altogether. My next phone will be Motorola. Probably an Atrix 2, unless they've come out with something better by then for AT&T.
Re: Ok, let me see if I've got this straight??
I see your point, but at the same time, Lightsquared "purchased" the spectrum from the FCC, right? And, technically, the GPS makers are encroaching on Lightsquared's spectrum, and the FCC knows/knew, so they kinda sold them a lemon, didn't they? I dunno. If I were them, I'd try anything I could. But, I doubt its gonna be anything near what they're asking.
Re: There doesn't seem to be a downside...
Thanks, btw.
Re: There doesn't seem to be a downside...
LOL. Oh, okay. Yeah, I usually just call them "everybody on Phone Scoop."
Re: There doesn't seem to be a downside...
May I ask: What's a "homer?" I'm not familiar with that term.
Re: THANK YOU!!!
So your argument is let's go back to the 90's? Hey, VCRs let us record TV shows, too! Let's go back to them! High def is for whiny kids with their "Gameboys," and "Walkmans." Do you have any idea how f'ng out of touch you are with the millennium? Screw your entire perspective. I signed up for something. They promised it. They promote devices THAT CANNOT REASONABLY UTILIZE THE VERY TASKS THEY ADVERTISE IT AS BEING CAPABLE OF. That ...
Re: THANK YOU!!!
Not to beat a dead house in these forums, but what business is it of yours what I do with it?
But to satisfy your limited imagination, I drive truck cross-country. I use Tango to chat with my wife and daughter at bedtime. I stream my dvr, so that when I'm home on weekends, I'm not wasting my precious, limited family time catching up on my favorite shows. I stream Netflix and my DVR, to alleviate the boredom of downtime ...
THANK YOU!!!
Exactly how Verizon does it! That, I would be okay with! However, this new throttle cap is gonna kick my ass. I use 10+ gb a month! I wasn't getting throttled until I hit around 5! :-(
THANK YOU!!!

Is this being moderated AT ALL??
Why is it that the pro-AT&T gang always lead with insults? You don't rationally talk to anyone, your first post will be automatically starting a fight. But, I post one thing, calling a dude a prick, cause he was, and I'm the one that gets removed?
It's a better idea than screwing customers
If AT&T isn't violating an existing agreement with developers, I say go for it. The difference with us unlimited customers is: its a violation of our agreement with AT&T. Unlimited is unlimited.
Re: Normally...
Oh, and I kinda like the developers absorbing the cost idea from a couple days ago. Not against that. As long as it's financially feasible, I'm cool add hell with it.
Normally...
...I'd be joining the knock AT&T bandwagon on this, and it's not that I'm not willing to: their policies toward their customers are wrong. Unlimited means without limitation. Limitation on speed, limitation on volume, or limitation on hours of use are all limitations. This has been debated and argued a million times before, and the pro-AT&T-do-whatever-they-can-get-away-with crowd is never going to cede the obvious point. That said, I'm not signing a petition for an Obama front group that wants ...
