Re: Misleading
As this is a manufacturer's defect, all carriers are at the mercy of how Samsung wants to deal with it.
Re: Free Enterprise
Perhaps you should have spent more time in Economics classes. As was proven under the Nixon and Ford administrations, and as was predicted by Milton Friedman, wage and price controls are counterproductive to the economy.
Disappointment
Come on, guys. It's April 1 and no April Fool's jokes on the main screen? You're letting us down!
Re: Listen, I get it
I fail to understand what you mean by "these people". WARF, the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation, was established to own patents developed under the research done at the University of Wisconsin and license those patents to others, raising funds for advancement of other research and programs at UW. Probably the best known product they developed was WARFARIN, an anticoagulant which was licensed to drug companies and commonly sold under the brand name Coumadin.
Patents do not impede scientific progress, ...
Re: Listen, I get it
Pantent?
Prodits?
Compisation?
I fear Phonescoop has been hijacked by the uneducated.
Re: Listen, I get it
And, by the way, ON WISCONSIN!
Re: Listen, I get it
My brain hurts reading your post. I presume that you meant to use the word PATENT instead of PATIENT, but cannot understand the basic premise of your post. You ask "was anyone going to use that patient for anything massive or significant?". Obviously yes, as a prior suit against Intel was settled out of court - read the Reuters article!
And your statement about real scientists/inventors not patenting ideas/inventions, Thomas Edison had over 2000 patents, Nikola Tesla about 300. Are ...
Re: Does The Unlimited Calling To Mexico And Canada Option Apply To The Original Mobile Share Plans?
There are no automatic plan changes, you have to request the change. Also. plans below the $100/15GB do NOT include the Canada/Mexico calling.
Re: Dumb move
Talk to a rep, if you really want a plan between these points you may still be able to get the $70 6GB plan. Usage of current tiers is always reviewed before such changes, the 4GB & 6GB plans were minimally requested.
The new $100 / 15GB plan also includes unlimited calls to Canada and Mexico - not a big deal for some, but those that have contacts in those countries will love it!
Re: Question about unlimited data
I presume you mean data speed reduction (aka throttling).
For customers with a 4G LTE smartphone, who still have an unlimited data plan, data speeds reduce if usage is 5GB or more in a billing cycle. Speeds return to normal at the start of the next billing cycle.
Re: Curious what phone you Like Nokia or motorola?
Yes, AT&T carries the Motorola X, which is an Android-based device.
However, original post asked about the Motorola Droid, which is another carrier.'s device.
Re: BlackBerry Bold 9900
That is because of inventory issues. We have been advised that a world-wide component shortage is "constraining Blackberry’s ability to supply all partner carriers".
This may be worth investigating further.
BlackBerry Bold 9900
Hi, guys!
I see that your page for the BlackBerry Bold 9900 shows it as discontinued with T-Mobile and AT&T. https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p =3289
What is your source for that status? Curious as it is showing as active in AT&T.
This reminds me...
of Dick Tracy's wrist radio. Chester Gould's heirs should sue Samsung!

Re: And it begins
I am not sensing the mania that accompanied the iPhone 5 release last year. There has been very little activity asking for the new version. Perhaps the market perception is that this is not a significant change?
Re: Nestle and Hershey
Kit Kat is a chocolate-covered wafer biscuit bar confection that was created by Rowntree's of York, England, and is now produced worldwide by Nestlé, which acquired Rowntree in 1988, except in the United States where it is made under license by The Hershey Company.

Black iPhone 4 out of stock
The black iPhone 4 is out of stock and off the AT&T equipment grid. First indication of a new iPhone revision coming in September?
Re: If you are selling smartphones to old fogies
Now wait a freekin minute!
Not all of us old fogies are incapable of using a smartphone!
Re: I hate Phoenix
It is at times a blessing and a curse. It is a major leap forward from prior systems. My biggest problem is when data features available in PHX do not populate in Rate Plan Viewer making it difficult to be sure you are mirroring prior data plan as closely as possible.
Re: I hate Phoenix
City or the system?
If the latter, it is one hell of a damn stretch better than the days of IWOF!
Re: Pre-orders for the Blackberry z10 is on!!!!
Better than I have had. Ordered one, makes 0.26% of my MTD orders!
Re: adding language
The Pantech Ease also supports Spanish, but otherwise you are correct. Recommend checking specs on phones next time.
Re: True Story!!!!
You can't cure idiocy!
Re: Lawsuit claims Apple sold iPhone 4 with bad on-off button
I suspect that many mistake the Home button (at the bottom of the screen) with the power button (on the top of the device).

Re: Spectrum. . .
Spectrum may be similar, but technology is significantly different. TMO is 3G, Metro PCS is CDMA. There will be significant device incompatibility for a while, with a conversion project on the horizon!
Re: $639.99?
Seems in line for no contract price.
HTC One is $649.99 for 64GB, $599.99 for 32GB.
I think the Galaxy SIII was similarly priced prior to recent changes.

True, I missed that.

Re: They should buy US Cellular already
US Cellular is the sixth largest wireless network in the United States.. They serve about 5.8 million customers in 126 markets in 26 U.S. states - California, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin.
That is much more than just midwest.
Re: They should buy US Cellular already
It was actually quite similar, as AT&T was looking to buy only T-Mobile US.
T-Mobile US is not a global company. It is the US subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom, which uses T-Mobile as their global brand.
Re: Seems legit.
Some people love Christmas, some love New Years. Many have the 4th of July as their favorite day of the year.
For me, it is rapidly becoming April 1st!
Kudos on a great April Fools page!
Just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate your humor every yeat. This was an especially good one, with the pointed barb at mismanagement - " after HP bought Palm in 2010, mismanaged it entirely, and ran it into the ground." Truth can be very funny!
Re: Don't bring that **** in here
My wife drinks pickle juice when the last pickle has been eaten. Of course, since she married me her sanity has always been in question :lol:
Re: Pre-orders for the Blackberry z10 is on!!!!
It was only available for consumer lines pre-ordering through the att.com web site.
Business accounts ordering through a store, Premier on-line, or any other sales channel can begin ordering on Friday. I already have several clients awaiting my ability to place orders for this, and one large account almost ready to upgrade their 100+ lines.
Re: Goof basic phone?
Pantech Breeze is the leading basic phone with AT&T.
Good signal strength, larger keys, decent sized screen for a flip phone. It may be the leader since it is free.
Samsung Rugby II is down to $49.99, and is a rugged phone. Also a good option.
Only other basic phones in the post-paid lineup are the LG A340, Samsung A157, and Rugby III. Smartphones are the wave, basic phones are dwindling.
Re: No Commitment price? (Some math)
Do not know noncontract price yet - the device is not yet on our lineup.
