Re: surprised Sprint isnt referring to this as 5G
Well, if you want to get technical, nobody has anything that's "truly" 4G in the United States.
Re: Srew you verizon!
You serious dude? Nobody is holding a gun to your head and telling you to buy the bundle- therefore it is a SERVICE, not a fee.
Your incessant whining across multiple threads is beyond annoying.
Re: VM CUSTOMER SERVICE IS THE WORST!
What do you expect when your phone bill can be as low as $35/mo for unl text and data?
If you wanted live, competent people to be on the other side of the phone, you'd have to pay at least double what you do now.
Re: Battery Life
As someone who troubleshoots, repairs and sells phones to make a living, I agree with you. Task killers are generally a bad idea. I would estimate that about 85% of the phones I work on that are having software issues have some type of task killer/battery extender/anti-virus app on them.
They don't always seem to undeniably be the root of the issue, but they are there most of the time something goes wrong.
Also, depending on what setting you use ATK ...

Re: This phone
Read PhoneArena's side by side comparison. If I'm biased, these boys are surely not. They're known for their quality reviews.
"As we’ve come to expect, both handsets have their own unique perks and characteristics that make them so beloved in the eyes of the consumer, but it's the Motorola DROID RAZR that’s able to impress us most."
Great phone? Yes.
Twice the phone? So much for that
Re: This phone
I've had 2 HTC phones and liked both of them a lot. I wanted to like the Rezound and GLADLY would've bought the phone, HTC Sense included, if I actually liked it better than the Razr. I don't. Sorry.
Also, I would've thought by now that manufacturers would learn NOT to put the charging port on the side. Makes using the phone while charging horribly awkward. Top or bottom is best.
Re: This phone
Alright buddy, as someone who owned the first HTC Sense Android phone I wouldn't say my reasons for not liking "Sense" are biased. Nice try though. It hogs the resources of the phone more than Moto Blur (at least the newer toned down version that Motorola implemented in the Bionic, Razr, Photon and Atrix 2) I will give HTC Sense its credit- the widgets provided with that particular UI are top notch. Also, the contact navigation is better. Other ...
Re: Possible Screen Problem
Welcome to the world of smartphones. No $300 smartphone is completely problem free. Never have, never will.
Re: This phone
I like the Rezound too...I just don't think it's as good a phone as the Razr. Great screen, sure. But I'm over HTC Sense.
Re: This phone
Care to explain this at all? As in, the RAZR being a gimmick how exactly? Because it's thin? Last time I checked, form factor of a phone is only a gimmick if it's a slide-out speaker (surround) or a dual screened phone (Kyocera Echo).
I've had both of these in my hand and have spent hours with each one. I opted for the Razr because HTC Sense makes the 1.5 gHz dual core feel slower than the Razr's 1.2 gHz ...
Re: Funny
That's AWESOME. If you ever buy an iPhone 4S, Siri is going to threaten you right out of the box.
"Let's not do that again."
Re: What the "Wrap-Up" Should Say
Also...Motorola has implemented a hardware reset...power button and volume down to reset a frozen device. So the only benefit to pulling the battery would be adding a new one. That said, most reviews I've seen are pretty unfair and unrealistic regarding battery life, at least in my experience.
Re: What the "Wrap-Up" Should Say
I've had a Razr since launch day and my battery life has been great. If I only use LTE when I NEED it, I can get through roughly 30 hours on a charge.
Re: WM7
I can't see myself using a Windows 7 device as I am too attached to Android, however I disagree that it's hideous. The live tiles and the sAMOLED screens on the new devices are beautiful. The colors are also entirely customizable. I think WP7 does exactly what it intends to do- simplify the experience of using a smartphone, and it does it well.
The 7.5 Mango update adds a lot of cool features, and the platform can't be touched in ...
Re: Can't remove the battery?
If you buy your phone at Best Buy and get the Geek Squad Protection, not only will they replace the phone deductible free an unlimited amount of times but it also includes a one-time battery replacement, so at the 18 month mark let them know and you'll get a new battery to get you through the final six months of your contract.
Re: hmmm.
As if the Razr V3M and the Droid Razr should ever be compared anyway.
Re: I no longer want the Lemon Bionic, what are my options
lolwut?
Unbelievable...
Apple is suing because the menu slides side to side instead of the traditional Android vertical slide? Unreal. As if this is going to jeopardize Apple's sales in any way. As if people go into the store and say "I only want phones that have a side-to-side swiping menu.
As I've said before, regardless of my preference in phone manufacturers and carriers, this constant bickering between companies is getting absolutely petty and sickening.
Re: Apple
Battery: No, but why do you need to pull out the battery on an Android phone? Oh yeah, when you need to swap out a new battery after 4 hours (Thunderbolt) or to fix it after it's frozen up (most Android phones)
iTunes: Either love it or hate it, but it's a great easy way to get your media on your device or to legally acquire new content.

This is the same "Anna" that assists me at IKEA.com. She makes it so easy to order their cinnamon buns over the web, and she's got that Swedish accent. Hot.
Re: This bickering between carriers and manufacturers...
Blaming Democrats is the right thing to do, since all they seem to want to do is blame Bush for tbe fact that they suck at accomplishing anything in the present. That said, a good share of Republicans also suck.
Re: This bickering between carriers and manufacturers...
I won't pretend to know the finer points of their arguments toward each other or who has the rights to what patents in this endless war between Samsung and Apple, however I find it hard to believe that either of them has the rights to as much innovation as they claim to.
I love my iPhone, that said I know it is not the be-all, end-all of smartphones and Android devices are better in some ways. While Apple does a ...
Re: Just a matter of time, this WILL happen with Sprint Smartphones...
No dude, you didn't read his post. He can see the future and has guaranteed that Sprint will NOT be getting rid of unlimited smartphone data. I guess history doesn't repeat itself (3x.) iPhone, I'm looking at you.
This bickering between carriers and manufacturers...
Is really getting sad, depressing and pathetic. All of these companies need to grow up and realize that they are impeding progress, not facilitating it.
Re: I'm an Android fanboy?
Android is not a phone, for that matter. It's an operating system.
Re: I'm an Android fanboy?
First phone to have a dedicated app store? hmm...
Re: For anyone who say's this keyboard is blatently ripping off of the blackberry keyboard,
HE'S TROLLING. Don't give him the satisfaction of a response.
I understand and support the move...
if it helps Sprint manaage its costs...however not grandfathering anyone in is a BAD move that will result in a lot of churn to other carriers. The only benefit of staying with Sprint over say Verizon is the unlimited 4G. Now when you take that away from me, LTE looks even more superior to WiMax than it already is.
Unless you actually use less than 3GB a month, that is.
Re: HP Killed Off WebOS too soon
The problem is, when you're selling devices at 33% of their MSRP, you can't sustain that business model.
HP couldn't get by making and selling those devices for $100 a pop.
Re: Darwin Has Spoken
HP is not "too big to fail."
As little as I care for WebOS...
I'm still glad to see this "Apothecary" guy stripped of power. He has taken a once proud brand name and virtually made it a PR circus. His decision to dump WebOS was a bit shortsighted as it's actually a pretty decent OS on tablets. It could be great if it had more support from app developers.
For those complaining about the move:
Why can you not make your decision as to whether or not you like your phone within 14 days as opposed to 30? Honestly, when I buy a piece of hardware I know whether or not I like it within a few days, maybe less. I would think 2 weeks would be perfectly sufficient. Especially if you just do a little research and hands-on demos before buying.
Re: Go Big Red Go!!!
I agree that VZW's LTE is the best out now, but AT&T has just activated their LTE network with HSPA+ backhaul (which is better than EvDO). Also, Sprint is looking to start up LTE. They will all end up at the same place eventually, but Verizon is just lightyears ahead.
Re: one more reason verizon sucks!!!!!
btw I'm not a Sprint hater, I worked for them for years and love their plans. As far as Android phones go I think they currently have the best lineup.
I just know what's going to happen to Sprint once the iPhone launches for them because it's already happened both times before.
Re: one more reason verizon sucks!!!!!
And you think that won't change once an Apple product gets into Sprint's network? :lol:
History repeats itself. I ditched Sprint to get a VZW iPhone (didn't want AT&T) and have no regrets, because I know Sprint's low prices can't last once an iPhone is in the mix. Bye bye unlimited- within six months. Guaranfrigginteed.
Re: Absurd
Thank GOD I'm not forced to have VZW nav, music and all that other bloatware on my VZW iPhone :D
Re: Oh no!
Going phone shopping in a hurricane? You need to get your priorities straight, friend. :lol:
Re: That's it?
I didn't say that the iPhone was the best, I simply chose a few areas to compare and even said Android was better in a few areas.
I wrapped that up by saying iPhone has been the best FOR ME and in my opinion.
Don't know how much more unbiased I can be.
