That kind of response merits a :roll:
Re: I'm Suing Apple
Not everybody is out on a witchunt looking to sue apple because the company is filthy rich and prosperous.
There are principles to uphold as well and if indeed Apple is exercising bad business practices, they should be held to the same standards as everyone else.

Barry Soetoro the wannabe soft-dictator. Thank the lord for term limits.
Re: Moto E or Moto G?
Budget=Moto E
G is mainly bigger now with a slightly better display.
The E now is on par perfomance-wise with the G just smaller with the display and display quality. So its almost an even handoff now between the two. The E has 4G and if Peru does not have 4G compatiblity with the phone, stick with the Moto E 1st generation. Just a dual-core processor.
Bloatware
The hands on stated no bloatware.
Google has thrown their proprietary bloatware all over the Moto E, G, and X.
Anything and everything a Google app is on the phones unless you root the phones and then you lose the auto-updates for software.
When Google bought Motorolas mobile division, this is when all their bloatware appeared on all the phones.
Re: LTE Bands
AT&T and T-Mobile for the US Version and mainly AT&T compatible in the states for the Global Version.
In effect they pushed from a dual to a quad-core and stretched the screen size a little. Still kept the Moto E basics with the display quality.
Nice tweaking for a 2nd Gen version. :)
Go Moto!
Excellent from dual-core to quad-core for the Moto E. Still waiting for the Moto G 2nd Gen with LTE.
These are the most affordable line of really great android phones I have seen along with fantastic performance.
Bon Voyage!
Golden Parachutes!!!!! :)
That is why..........
I order my phone unlocked and on-line.
Hey Everybody!
Carlos Slim can afford it!!!
Simply Simple
T-Mobile is the biggest 4G Data coverage scam on the market today. If I had a dollar for every time I went off a major road, interstate, or out of a major city and the phone went to EDGE/2G, I could save up enough $$$$$$ to seriously upgrade the network. :roll:
Typical
Shot at further opulence aimed at the frivolous. :roll:
LG G Flex 2
I am really "bent" on getting this phone! :)
Re: Oh Gee, Can't monopolize in the US so lets change countries.
Then just go to another website. No one is obligating you to read anything here or yet condescend anyone here. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Ever hear of a forum?
Blow your own mind. You apparently love to exercise your already big piehole. :wink:
Re: Oh Gee, Can't monopolize in the US so lets change countries.
The better of 2 evils???? Gimme a break!!! :roll:
Re: In similar news...Hey!
Could be right. It has come a long way in over 10 years but at least the memories are good. :)
Re: In similar news...Hey!
Those were really great phones!!! I still have a fully functional 3595 and 6010. Though only usable for calls only and the rare text and no data, you can not beat them for durability and reliability. Can not say much on that for modern phones though.
Re: gimmicks
T-Mobile can keep their network period.
Anytime out of a downtown or densely populated area, it's hello EDGE, GPRS, or 2G.
Even their voice coverage without roaming is on a par with Sprint.
Preload=Need to Root
More "bloatware". Usually when carriers preload stuff. You cannot uninstall unless you root the phone. Motorola does the same thing with Google stuff.
Eastern Virginia
is more or less well covered. Hopefully nTelos spectrum there is outside of major towns and metro areas where T-Mobile severely lacks.
Re: Yeah, And They Have Half The Coverage Too
Yes. You are correct. When money is in a pinch though, I guess one has to sacrifice.
MVNO's are a great alternative as well.
Re: Affects Fastest LTE Network Ads
Sure T-Mobiles LTE network is fast. Just depart from a downtown area or the interstates and hello 2G, EDGE and GPRS. Might as well go with Sprint.
Re: More reason......
It's a shame. I guess Starbucks figures the more people in the stores, the more it gives them the appearance that they attract paying customers for their products when the majority are there for the Wi-fi and nothing else.
Re: Nice but.........
Not on all. There are those out there that let you call without the other party having the same app. Just have to do the research.
And they are great sounding as well. I use them all the time. I have used my credit card number and nothing, I mean nothing has happened. These companies are legit and have high-security encryption just like T-Mobile for payments.
I pay a "flat" price and no fees like T-Mobile with their billing.
More reason......
for more freeloaders taking up space in Starbucks and not buying Starbuck products.
Nice but.........
Anyone can download 1 of the countless ioS or Android apps that offer this same capability for much cheaper price points.
MVNO's
Best alternative. :)
Google
Excellent apps and software.
Just remember, with Google absolutely NOTHING is private.
Re: VoIP
You are all correct yes....
There is a way around that too and it is called a VPN.
Some VoIP apps have built in ones and additionally codecs that go through VoIP blocks and as well.
VoIP
All the carriers including MVNO's entice you with their international plans. VoIP is the best viable option and much cheaper.
If you have android or IOs, you can download one of the many many apps where you can use your phone overseas for cents on the dollar and you pre-pay for the minutes you use and can research the country you are travelling to and the rates. I have used this and it works very very well. No need to ...
Hello Moto
The E, G, and the Moto X are one of the best series of phones I have worked with from Motorola. CDMA has the Droids.
Good Choices
The $35 price point and the available options are great. Just a native Sprint only network coverage is the killer.
I almost....
burst out laughing..... :lol:
Regardless of being a pre-paid version of T-Mobile, the coverage is still somewhat abysmal and the data will be 2G EDGE away from an interstate or major town or urban area.
Keep your money!
Countless VOiP apps available. No need to use any carrier for that!!!!!
Go Moto
Great phone, not so great carrier. :(
X Marks the Spot
While an excellent high end Motorola device, the Moto G holds its own quite well at a better price point. With an AMOLED display and a slightly better processor, the Moto X is not that much a great difference from the G.
Re: Great experience?
Download a VoIP app there are so so many and they work better than one supplied by any carrier.
Re: Need to work on other things
T-Mobile needs to work on a network that does not display EDGE or 2G once you leave a town. Coverage is abysmal even with the AT&T Roaming agreements.
Mini-Browsers
Try UC Mini and Maxthon. Opera Mini does not render many sites well.
2nd Gen
Still no LTE but added Micro SD and bigger screen. OK, but the Micro SD on the 3G 1st gen would have been smarter and leave off the bigger screen. Think people, think!!!!!!!!
