Re: Apple's Claims
it's the same comments for the past 3 years i have been on this site. if you dont like apple don't buy apple. I opened the comment field for this article to see what people had to say about the nexus 5. it turned into "we hate apple and here's why." i fail to see the relevancy to the nexus 5. hence the vapidity.
Re: Apple's Claims
:roll: This is why I stopped caring about the comments on this site. Often times it just turns into a vapid apple, att or vzw bashing session and nothing worhtwhile is ever said.
Re: Wow!
you are correct. just att iphones. my 4s got the update yesterday and was blowing up as a result of the storms we were having at the time. i like that you can turn them off and i have yet to receive an update from our president. i'm sure he has more pressing matters to attend to.
Re: Expressing concerns and getting concessions
ZING.
this is true. plus tmobile's 3g and att's 3g arent compatable, so you unlock your iphone 4 and take it to tmobile and run 2g only data? you just crippled your own phone.
Re: Verizon isn't...
interesting viewpoint. makes sense.
Re: What needs to happen...
that's far too logical, so it will never happen.
Corporations and the government think we lowly peons are too stupid to understand what mega bits and mega bytes are.
Re: I really have a problem with this claim...
you make some very valid points.
however, compared to the majority of the other manufacturers out there, apple is still very new to the cellular phone game. first iphone released in 2007. samsung sits easily at number 2 in market share with over 18% having been in the cellular industry for far longer.
apple would be wise to release a different maybe a little more basic device, still with the app capability but focus more on call quality. that could only ...
Re: Headlines
i cant wait for that state to fall into the ocean already. this "me too" bull crap is annoying.
the only headline i would actually find interesting is "California De-Criminalizes Cannabis"
Re: AT&T ISN'T PLAYING AROUND...
they also have the second largest customer base in the country. that coupled with everyone wanting an iphone when they can neither afford it nor want to pay for metered data plan. I know from first hand experience that counts for a massive amount of traffic in my center.
so it would stand to reason consumer reports would say that.
Re: unfortunate first name.
usually when this stuff happens and employees are let go they have to sign a non compete clause that specifically prohibits this.
if they did that does not bode well for Osama.
unfortunate first name.
this sounds like the first legit law suit being publicized on here. or at least that i can remember.
if this is true then they're gonna get roasted.

Re: No Merger would be Better for T-Mobile
truth. no one else has the $ or wants to deal with the head ache.
unless the government buys them out and it becomes gov-mobile.
Re: Inconclusive Study.
it's cool to hate apple, and att. havent you posted in this forum before?
Re: Cool
it's possible att is backpedaling.
they originally nixed their roaming agreement with tmobile, they thought they had enoguh coverage and didnt want to continue payin tmobile everytime one of their subs used a tmobile tower.
now they're kicking themselves because they're having to waive etf's for customers living in those roaming areas.
i think this is a way for them to get those roaming areas back but tmobile is making them pay thru the nose for it.
just one man's opinion.
Re: thanks big brother
jesus christ i'm suprised that soap box your standing on hasnt crushed under the weight of your massive arrogance.
Re: Why do YOU care?
:D you're hilarious!! i am thoroughly entertained by this guy!
you must have hot air seeping out of your pores!
Re: thanks big brother
solid argument. well said.
Re: "Voicing support for the deal, the Communication Workers of American sided with AT&T and T-Mobil
but they cant afford it and no one else wants to buy or put up with the headache. att made an offer. DT accepted it.
if your 50,000 house was falling apart and someone offered you 200,000 for it would you sell?
Re: thanks big brother
again, your perogative. no offense was meant, merely commenting on your response to timmy23's post about protecting an 11 year old girl.
it serves no purpose for you to take anything said in a cell phone forum personally. and take it to this extreme: "How many more conservative christian politicians have to be busted for homosexual activities with male prostitutes and meth habits before we realize that they are the problem not the people."
that's the direction you go with this?
ok. ...
Re: Why do YOU care?
you make a decent argument to the alternative. i would not want to be suspected of a crime i didnt commit. although that is an extremely hypothetical situation. i see your point and it has given me something to think about.
Re: thanks big brother
if you dont believe my story then that's your perogative. i dont need to prove anything to you.
in the case of the company solicting me products, i dont want that. but the government knowing where you buy coffee from...is that really your sticking point?
i think we can choose our battles wiser than this.
Re: Why do YOU care?
you're right. i dont care. it doesnt bother me. i'm ok with this.
i have nothing to hide. save my locations for two years.
the government already has access to where i bank, where i live, where i work, where i spend my money. the information is there. if it will help them protect myself and my wife and help law enforcement do thier job better...so be it.
Re: thanks big brother
there's a difference. the tsa hasnt done anything to promote the safety of air travelers. all they are able to do is piss people off and make people not want to fly. there have been more instances of passengers foiling bombers than tsa and air marshals.
i'm with you there.
what i'm talking about is something that has been proven it works.
when i was a call center rep we used gps tracking on a customer's phone that was kidnapped and ...
Re: thanks big brother
are you touching 11 year olds? then why do you care?
and please dont go into this huge diatribe about one thing leads to another and "if we let them get away with this, what's next?"
:roll:
i get some people are suuuuper sensitive about their personal privacy and staying off the grid and whatever. fact is there are a lot of people out there who would rather see a rapist put in jail, a terror bombing stopped or drug transaction intercepted ...
Re: "Voicing support for the deal, the Communication Workers of American sided with AT&T and T-Mobil
the fact of the matter is geeks is right.
att is the only company with enough capital to handle a gsm to gsm transition.
if tmobile would have gone under and deutsche telekom sold off the spec and towers who do you think would have gobbled them up? certainly not sprint. and we'd be in the same situation now. one major choice for gsm.
and what really is astonishing is that the majority of you wouldnt be crying wolf if big red ...
OR...
people could take personal initiative and educate themselves.
Why do we insist for all this stuff to be done for us?
effin google it.
Re: read
and how many percent of customers who are upgrading to their new smartphone are paying any attention to the expectations being set by that sales rep?
i went into my local store to buy a charger, and i watched as a grown man buying an iphone was more interested in putting his case on his phone than he was with what the sales rep was telling him.
i get that there are some folks out there that do whatever it takes ...
Re: God Forbid someone be required to uphold a contract!
please tell me someone watched the centipad south park episode last night
Re: also...
in those instances, yes i have a tendency to agree.
Contracts are VERY one sided. Geared toward making sure the company recoups their money and cannot be held responsible for prety much anything.
but at the same timei gotta go back to the fact that customers dont have to be in contract. if they arent they cannot be held by wireless agreements.
under that logic if those things happen like you were stating earlier they technically could be eligible for class action ...

Secondly. The contract does indeed have to do with billing etc. I don't know where you failed to perceive otherwise.

Re: Is there really any question as to what reality is?
in this last presidential election i would agree with you.
people throw thier votes to who they think has the better chance of winning that happens to have the closest sliver of alignment to their thinking.
that's why paul will never be elected.
i love the guy but he's unlectable for that reason.
Re: Another Nail In Consumer Power.
ok please understand this opinion comes from a bias of never having billing issues, very rarely a dropped call and living in metro saint louis wih perfect 3g wherever i go:
i dont get why consumers expect anything else when they sign a contract with a carrier. the fact is we as american consumers dont want to pay the 300-700 the manufacturer would charge for their product to be used on(insert your network here). the contract has nothing to do ...
Re: Any bets?
well, thats not true. every app that i download to my iphone asks permission to share my location. you can also turn off location services entirely on your iphone. settings > locations services > slide to off.
now i dont know if that keeps apple from compiling that info.
sarcasm
i gets it. :D
Re: pay for music.
i dabble. before there was groove shark i would dl albums to see if i liked them. i'm less of a singles person and i listen to albums as a whole.
i think this feature would probably be more suited for impulsive buyers who want singles.
still. i like drm free.
drm free
that is appealing to me. but will i be able to move the music from my phone to an sd card to save there? that would blow if the phone got corrupted somehow and i lost all my music.
also i think cust service on this will be a nightmare. "i never bought these songs!" "my kid just downloaded 200.00 in music? you will need to credit that back for me this instant."
ugh.
Re: What incentive do small carriers have...
i think the smaller carriers should pay a premium for their customers to be able to use a network they had no investment in. i also agree that the speeds roamers have access to shouldnt be what vzw and att customers enjoy.
those two addendums i'm sure could be worked in there somehow.
Re: "If any agreement is reached then just give them 10kbps speed while on roaming."
Huzzah!!!
