Re: If it is a Galaxy S4
too bad it probably won't wash your dishes either...
Re: This is....
although i disagree with the law to begin with and this petition is good news, i stil wonder how in the world would the law be enforced anyways?
Re: Nothing New
if they have only a million listeners and 4% of those listeners have to pay $0.99 per month to listen to all the music they want, that's $39,600 per month ($475,200 per year) in additional revenue ..
pulling in an extra half million is good business.
Re: They say it's not technically a pyramid scheme!
as interesting as this all is, and i say that without sarcasm of any kind, what in the world does this have to do with buying an over priced phone?
boring.
Company A tries to gain advantage over Company B
Company B is just as bad if not worse than Company A
fans of both companies sling mud at each other in an endless loop trying to gain some imagined moral high ground in an immitation of both Company A and B all the while having the gall to prentend their above it.
boring.

So, they have done the right thing and are not hiding the phone cost in the service charges. What do they want? A cookie?
Tmo is like escort that won't kiss on the lips because they've drawn some arbitrary moral line that no one cares about while she is getting Donkey Punched.
Woo woo la de flipping da...
while i understand your cynicism, i think heaping scorn on a company that's taking strides to offer a more transparent service ...
Re: refusing to offer Siri as an update to the iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS,
forget what model of phone it will or won't run on.
i asked Siri "WHO BANGIN' and she didn't say "WESTSIIIIIIIIDE".
garbage? indeed.
Re: just another way for govenmentS to
as an extra step, i think we should just ban cars altogether ..
3,000 deaths attributed to cell phone use is nothing compared to the millions of deaths the depletion of the ozone will cause.
if the Government were truly interested in protecting us, they would take care of the REAL problem.
i thought it was only Apple....
....that were concerned about boobs?
Re: Android 2.3?
i'm sure when the device was being developed, Android 2.3 was just becoming available to most Samsung devices...
regardless, i agree that Google needs to step in to streamline the process....if your device is shipping with antiquated software, there should be an expectation set (and subsequently kept) of when a software update to the latest version will roll out ..
crack that whip!
Re: Great
we're years away from that...the micro-chips and installation in the jaw would be a nightmare in itself...
don't even get me started on the potential for electrical shock...
i smell a lawsuit.
Re: Really!!!
you may do this, but most don't...i can't count how many times i've been run into by people with their faces stuck to their phone or in the case of the IT department, phones...
genius idea if you ask me.
which you didn't.
so i'll be quiet now.
Re: Bandwidth management
using your phone is one thing...using it as your primary source of internet, relying solely on the network to download/seed torrents, stream television shows and other extremely data intensive activities is a whole other arguement.
Re: Bandwidth management
charging you extra doesn't magically make up that extra bandwidth, but it does act as a detterent to stay within your allotted amount...
i'm sure AT&T would send the goons out to break your knuckles if they could, but hitting you in the wallett is really one of the best methods available...
Re: Screw you AT&T!
in actuality, there was no mention made of the charges associated with exceeding a capped data plan in the orignal post....
i'm not so much concerned about my credibility as i am with pointing something out.
Re: Bandwidth management
they are throttling existing Unlimited plans....not capped plans. some of the top 5% of users are using their phone as their primary form of internet...while most may use less than 2gb per month (even those on Unlimited plans) , some of these people are using that and even more per day...
think of torrents, streaming, downloads...the list goes on.
while the markup on data / texts is outrageous to begin with, it's highly unlikely that this is aimed to save money ...
Re: Screw you AT&T!
to be fair, you did say:
Why can't AT&T and Verizon do what T-Mobile does. Instead of capping, just slow down the users speed.
besides, your rant about data limits is a bit off topic....just sayin' is all.
Re: they're not kidding.
let me give you the shortened version:
fragmentation exists due to Android phones being released with antiquated versions of the OS loaded on it and rarely, if ever, receiving updates to the most current version.
although most consumers wouldn't notice this and wouldn't care even if they did, saying fragmentation doesn't exist doesn't make it not exist.
Re: Galaxy Nexus looks like it's gonna rock-Has almost everything you'd want
amen.
Voodoo Sound
i'd be really interested to see how this compares to the amazing Voodoo Sound available for Android phones...
i don't doubt Dr. Dre when it comes to the beats but @SuperCurio did a bangin' job on that piece of audio wizadry...
Re: "I made no STRONG accusation or claim" - Huh?
so, in essence, you're talking without saying anything....
for someone pretty riled up about "the man" you're doing a bang up job of emulating the speech pattern.
Re: Should This Come as a Surprise?
is that because AT&T can afford to splash out more money or because all other carriers care more about the enviroment, medicare, social security, women, workers and consumers...
Re: Create New AT&T Jobs?!?!
with all due respect, predicting what a company the size of AT&T will or will not do is this side short of impossible ..
in the current economy and with the focus firmly on creating American jobs in America, if AT&T were to not follow through (at least partially) on their pledge, the backlash against the company would be enormous ..
that's not to say that most people don't have the attention spans / memories of fruit flies but i would ...
so....no 32gb model?
ok, 16gb is a lot of room when you take into account the SD card slot but i was ready to upgrade if the 32gb model rolled into AT&T .. 64gb of available memory? now that would have been amazing.
Re: Overrated, overhyped and overpriced
most noise cancelling headphones or those with a built in amp use a battery...
just sayin'.
Re: venturing a guess...
SuperCurio is pretty hip holmes...
probably provides better support then Dre. as well..
venturing a guess...
this is just speculation at this point but i'm sure this will allow HTC phones to use audio drivers (or amp) written / produced by Beats to improve the sound quality ..
i would assume this would work the same way that Voodoo Sound does for Android phones...
which begs the question, why not just hire SuperCurio?
Re: Ehrmz....
It's like all those hippys that think Nuclear reactors are dangerous. Of course they are, if you physically insert yourself into the inside of the reactor. Everything has safeguards.
tell that to the people in Japan...
Re: And we're supposed to be excited?
who cares about the length of the ringtone...it's the fact that Microsoft thinks creating your own rigntone is something that needs to be noted is laughable at best...
this has been industry standard for eons...even Jesus had his own ringtone.
Re: actually
pretty sure Stalin killed more people than Osama ever dreamed of but i see no stigma surrounding the name "Joseph"...
strange how this happens.
Re: Rooting has nothing to do with the warranty
T Bone said:
Realistically, there is no way modifications to the software can possibly harm the hardware
so over clocking your phone can't damage the hardware?
....well, that's news to me.

Does the news have any idea how stupid people are?
yes. yes, they do.
Re: concern is legitimate
pwfb said:This all said, I do believe that concern by people like me is legitimate. Perhaps this is why I don't sell, nor will I my Blackberry.
and when the first Blackberry virus hits you'll be doing what?
don't get me wrong, i'm not trying to downplay or criticize your concern; far from it .. but to think that one smartphone software / manufacturer will be immune from what is no doubt the wave of the future is short sighted ...
Re: Thus why
i'm astounded anyone is surprised by this ..
just another excuse for another round of Android vs iOS handbags....
i do most of my banking, keep credit card / financial information and tons of work stuff on my phone .. why wouldn't someone want to hack it? smartphones are the new computers and those who choose to make a living taking advantage of others are going to find more creative ways to do so ..
give it another year or two ...
open office?
i am almost 100% positive i am going to purchase some variant of the HTC TYTN (either the 8525 or the JasJam) and was wondering if "Open Office" has a mobile application compatible with this device ..
my office is moving away from the Microsoft based utilities and (as most "progressive" companies are) embracing open source ..
if this device cannot support it, i think i may need to re-consider my choice ..
cheers.
Re: AWESOME!
i agree .. i think this phone targets exactly who Virigin wants to target with it .. teens with jobs and spoiled teens who's parents buy them anything to shut them up ..
besides that, us adults who will not be tied down in a rediculously long contract just to recieve $50 off a phone (my girlfriend says i have "commitment issues) will also be drawn to pre-paid service (Virgin, in my humble opinion, being the best pre-paid service ...
Re: Cingular VS. T-Mobile( the little guy)
