Re: HTC DNA or Samsung Galaxy S III ?
Reviews show that there is some lagginess on the s4 while the One is very fluid. But you can't put apps on your SD card. So if you run a lot of apps then you are SOL. And 32gb on a phone is plenty of space.
And when I say laginess its probably just a little bit.
I'm not trying to say the S4 is a bad choice. The S4 is an excellent choice. It has impressed me ...
Re: That extra $10 smartphone fee is was a really, really stupid, unjustified move.
You would be the one and only person. In Orange County, CA I would have at least 60 percent of new activations with T-mobile returned because of coverage issues.
Now let me make this clear I am not totally hating on T-mobile. Where I live in San Bernardino, CA now I know in at least one spot(only because I don't have T-mobile so I have no way of checking coverage everywhere) T-mobile HSPA+ is without a doubt real 4G. ...
Re: That extra $10 smartphone fee is was a really, really stupid, unjustified move.
Except that tmobile works less than Sprint.
Re: Good!!! (and bad)
Number one there is no risk of RF cancer. That isn't a thing. It is non-ionizing so there is no cancer risk. Second, zero cellphone coverage in an area nowadays devalues property because everyone uses a cellphone.
Re: Good!!! (and bad)
Why would people live if land values are devalued. Wouldn't all land everywhere in the us get devalued because of cellphone towers. So the ratio between your land and neighboring land stays the same but you pay less taxes and people won't leave.
Re: Good!!! (and bad)
I don't think you get the point. In an ideal world our taxes go to police, fire, schools, etc. But in the world we actually live in the government makes way too much money and spends on the important things way too little. So the governent making less money doesn't matter since the money doesn't go to where it is needed anyways.
Re: Good!!!
Yes the home values will still drop. Do you want to live next to a cell tower that is going to give you cancer?
Re: HTC DNA or Samsung Galaxy S III ?
Yeah the gs4 is laggy and has most of the storage space sucked up by touch wiz.
Re: Generous ?
Lol. Great in most places? Then why do they have the fewest amount of customers? Why is their churn so high. And then why when no sold them 60 percent of my customers ended up returning the phones?
Re: Not available for Verizon, of couse...
No that is the nature of CDMA in the US. They have a database of serial numbers that is allowed on their network. Sprint works the same way. Plus Samsung isn't making a CDMA version of this phone.
And what is disable on my android phone with Vzw now?
Re: Microsoft Office on my HTC 4G LTE
Astro app
Re: HTC DNA or Samsung Galaxy S III ?
Wait for the HTC ONE
Re: Not available for Verizon, of couse...
Because that is the nature of CDMA.
Re: Missed the boat
oh how wrong you are. Its not different frequencies that is the problem. Its different technologies. GSM vs. CDMA
Re: Missed the boat
Why do you want pure android?
Re: A "predatory monopoly"... on content from its own service?
Why would Google care if Windows Phone became a popular platform? Google doesn't make any money on Android...I know you are probably laughing right now and saying, "Yeah, right."
What does google make their money on? Ads. Google search. So even if Windows Phone became the dominate mobile phone platform, people will still use Google search and google ads and make tons of money.
Re: So what?
predatory monopoly? Have you used other search engines? Maybe the reason google has so many users is because its just better.
Re: If Google made a YouTube app for W8...
But Blackberry doesn't compete with them on search so why would they pull their support for blackberry devices. Isn't building marketshare about getting your product in the hands of the most amount of people? So if they had a google search app on Blackberry doesn't that only help Google and not hurt them?
Re: Generous ?
Yeah its great to have unlimited data I can't use with T-mobile with their lacking network. :o
Re: Had a few people already asking about switching because of this
That's funny because its the same company. Cingular bought AT&T wireless. So you haven't had a change of company at all.
Re: AT&T and Sprint iPhone 5 are $50 off at Radioshack.
Too bad Radioshack sucks.
Re: Hardware???
You say that but yet more people buy the iPhone over the galaxy phones. How do you explain that?
Re: It won't change anything....
Actually this bill would be great. This would allow you to unlock your device without the carriers help. You can get a factory unlock.
Re: Good & Bad idea
You are wrong. The sales staff at a corporate stores are experts, especially when you compare them to customers.
Re: Spectrum. . .
No this is a bad move. This removes one more carrier from the marketplace limiting our choices.
Re: The problem is coverage
Easy fix. Root the android phone and use an app called Roam control.
Re: I don't think consumers do their research.
Thats funny because when I did sell T-mobile in South Orange County about 60% of my new activations were returned because of poor coverage. Never had that problem with Sprint, AT&T, And Verizon.
Re: Figures.
Except there is no monoploy here. There are two companies and they compete against each other.
Re: Figures.
Actually the walmart comparision is fair, but instead of offering lower prices they offer better service that other companies refuse to compete with. However, I do think that T-mobile and Sprint are finally trying to compete when it comes to coverage.
Re: good grief
if only that worked. Have you looked at Verizon and AT&T's prepay plans? And Verizon only lets some of the phones be prepaid. You don't get 4G internet and you don't get all the roaming agreements that you get with Post-paid. So you don't get the same coverage.
Re: Cool Phone!
The Galaxy s to the SII to the SIII is the same upgrade as the SIII to the SIV. Bigger screen, better camera, better processor. Its the same as any phone.
Re: Cool Phone!
How is the S4 like a S3s? What does this Sony phone have that the S4 doesn't? And I don't know about elsewhere in the world but the sony phones in the states have been horrible. I am, however, pretty certain that the International Sony phones are amazing. This phone does look amazing and I wish I could have one and try it out.
Re: WTF!
If Dell was so horrible then they would be out of business. They must be doing something right to still be #2 in the industry.
Re: WTF!
You do realize that they all use the same parts. The difference is that Apple bundles in their customer service. With PC manufacterers they are bundled out so you have to add that in yourselves. You have the choice of getting a cheapo computer or you can get a great computer with lots of customer service.
Re: WTF!
Obviously you prefer them because you are a sheep.
Re: Now... go for T-Mobile
I can tell you from personal experience that in South Orange County T-Mobile service is bad. 60% of my new activations for T-Mobile were returned withing 30 days.
Re: WTF!
I just don't understand someone's preference to spend more money on the same thing. That is like spending $100,00 on a Toyota Camry versus $50,000 on a Honda Accord. It would make sense there are preferences if they were the same prices but they are not.
Re: WTF!
It's the same thing. Click an icon an the app opens.
Re: WTF!
Well yes. Alienware and Mac you are paying for the name. But you can get an equally spec'ed Dell(which owns Alienware btw) and it would be half the price. And computer components are a commodity now and they are all pretty much the same if you buy it from Dell or HP or Acer, or Apple.
Re: WTF!
Why would you use a Mac? Why pay twice as much for the same thing with a PC?
