You also can't be more detached from reality than to believe people somehow want this crap stuffed down their throats. What an a-hole.

So why warn them but not name them, so the consumer will be aware? Dumb.

I don't understand why reviewers feel the need to offer their opinion about a particular phone being too big (or too small). It's certainly valid to say it's "really, really big", but whether or not "some people may not like that" is irrelevant. The consumer will decide on their own. One-handed operation is not really that common from what I have observed. Maybe if you still use a flip phone, but that's a pretty small percentage.

The reports were that the phones bent when in a front pocket. Not from from a sudden forceful impact, but a constant pressure (and possibly heat) causing slow deformation. Not acceptable in my opinion.

Other than the fact that, well, they bend!

Larger, not smaller than Note 4

in the Article: Review: Apple iPhone 6 Plus for AT&T forum

Published specs for both phones show the 6 Plus to be 4.6mm taller, with the Note 4 being a negligible 0.8mm wider and slightly 1.4mm thicker. I don't know anyone who would call the 6 Plus "smaller".

Yes.

They cost "what they do" because Apple has an extremely high markup. They will still make a lot of money selling them for 1/2 price. Anyone who thinks Apple is doing this solely because they "care about their customer's safety" is naive.

If you have read any of Blue's older posts, you would see a pattern of slamming the Android OS and Android phone manufacturers. This despite the fact that many of these phones were very positively received and thoroughly reviewed by professional sites. His posts are more often than not confrontational, in an attempt to draw a response. The very definition of bias.

I doubt if anything already in consumer's hands would need to be replaced, but this is sweet. Apple getting a taste of their own medicine. Perhaps they'll reconsider their Sue-happy strategy.

You've had a hard on against HTC for a few years now, don't you ever get tired of being wrong? HTC makes some great products, but the real loser here is the consumer. Not everyone is in love with Apple vanilla. It's sad that some twisted interpretation of patent laws rather than fair competition in the marketplace can decide our choices.

True enough. But as of now, one of their major selling points is that they neither cap nor throttle.

Sprint does not have a cap, soft or otherwise.

"Case closed" More like "mind closed" when it comes to any company other than Apple. Fortunately a judge, not you, will have the final say on Apple's whining. :cry: Btw, had a bagel the other say that was round. Maybe the English Muffin companies should file a lawsuit... :lol:

Well I would be happy with that speed, or anywhere near it on my Incredible. In my area if I'm lucky I pull in about 400-500kbps. If 3G lived up to it's potential then I wouldn't complain, but at least 4G will give me some improvement.

No, it's not just you. The sheer ego of people who make statements such as "I told all of you this would happen" is simply amazing. As if we are to believe we're witnessing the Word of God.

Except that Sprint has more Wimax coverage (40M people) than T-Mobile's entire customer base of 33M. Good try though.

How's it working? I'm considering an EVO, but not sure if the extra $10 is worth it. Also, one of the Sprint dealers said I could download an Android app to allow wireless tethering w/o needing to pay $30 for the Sprint Mobile Hotspot add-on. Does that sound right?
