Re: Perhaps...
I agree, and can't wait for DOJ to block the sale. The FCC sahould have done it and would have if they weren't so consistently inconsistent.
Re: Maybe the DOJ and the FCC should do more
And those people are short sighted, and more than likely, did not have cellular service before the big 4 came about. The issue that brings up comments like these is a sense of entitlement that seems to be growing in this country. You make an excellent point.
Re: Perhaps...
Ok, so I don't necessarily disagree with any of you. However, I would like to point out that while the original intention of the government was to protect the people, the people have an obligation to also protect themselves. If you want to affect change in the way these companies do business, hit them where it hurts... their profits. People whine about the high prices of data on cell phones, not even realizing they have bought ...
Re: scree mirroring?
Technically, you should be able to. It has the miniHDMI port, so if your computer is capable.... it should work.
Re: That
I have to agree
Re: Patients were made to protect property and ideas...
And that's the real issue at this point, and one of the reasons that Apple is currently in the middle of 60% of patent litigation in the industry. Apple, IMHO, employs as many lawyers as engineers. Half of those lawyers are probably tasked with writing patents. The US Patent Office, among other agencies, have allowed far too many patents through with broad sweeping language that covers more than just the device, method, program, etc. that is ...
Re: REALLY?????
I wouldn't even be concerned about that. On the other hand, I refuse to contribute to a political campaign until I find a candidate that's actually worth my hard earned money. My bigger concern is the donor's name being "anonymous" when stories are breaking out more and more about increased government and law enforcement monitoring of cell phone usage. Also, even with the per line / person limit in place, there is the potential for ...

Mine's working. I can't help you, sorry
Seriously? Why even say anything at that point? Jellz, I don't even have a Skyrocket, so I am not trying to get your hopes up, but useless post like this just piss me off.
Re: Don't Purchase Any current Nokia Windows Devices
Um... buy what you want??? LMAO
REALLY?????
I just want to register my surprise that politicians would support yet another method to hand them money. Is anyone really shocked by that? Lmao.
Re: I am getting one
Are you sure.... because I'm sensing some conflict in you. An emotional decision, perhaps? :lol:
Re: Complete by the end of 2013
Actually, I've seen the releases regarding the Network Vision project and everything appears to be moving forward at a steady pace. If the information is accurate, and Sprint makes no major policy changes regarding price plans (nothing in the works that I've heard of) Big Blue and Big Red may have cause for some concern in the next few years.
Re: *Yawn*
Not yet.... although it will be interesting when that time comes. :wink:
Re: Apple sues the judge!!!
In a follow up filing, Apple states "judges should in no way be biased by the law as it is written and any opinion written on such a basis must be disregarded"
Re: Wow... bad idea
No question, and for the developers that use it for that purpose, it'll work just fine. My concern is the thin skinned developers that will take every negative review personally.
Wow... bad idea
One of the benefits of a review on anything is to leave feedback without debate or discussion. I understand a review possibly being unfair, or blatantly incorrect, but allowing a developer to repsond inline to review is a very good way to devolve the review forum into an argument. I remember one time, my wife had a very bad experience with a seller on Ebay. She left a bad review of the seller along with a ...
Re: Is Sprint really in a position to afford something like this?
Ok, quick correction. The intention and features of the plan were correctly advertised. There was a system error that was eventually corrected that charged casual data charges for sending MMS. Some of the impacted accounts received a credit for the error. I have no idea how many impacted accounts were credited and how many were missed, before you ask. Assuming that the casual data charges were for MMS only, then the claims are valid ...
Re: I love you Sprint.....but....
Um... production may be a small portion of the issue, but the way I understand this, demand was higher than anticipated. Neither of the carriers are at fault, and the only blame to Samsung is for underestimating the demand for their product. Since Apple is still having "drawing board" leaks and nothing solid regarding specs, I really don't believe this was an effort to "beat Apple"
Re: Ooooooooooo--
Honestly, the better choice would have been to go with something competitive or better without going for overkill. I can honestly not see a reason for a 41 MP camera....ever.
Re: Judge Gives Apple and Motorola One More Stab
I wouldn't call it foolish. I'd call it good entertainment. This needs to be televised, lol.
Re: I wonder if they will use employee discounts?
And Verizon will probably bleed custoemrs like an arterial spray. What do their corporate discounts apply to currently?
Re: I wonder if they will use employee discounts?
Um...no. Reread the article. The line access fee would be the plan access fee. The shared data charge would be an add on.
Re: Buy this corvette but you can only drive it 250 miles a month
I always love assumptions. Especially when decisions pertaining to expenses come into play. So far, Sprint has said absolutely nothing about changing their price plans. AT&T made an announcement about shared data plans shortly after Verizon initially announced the idea. If someone was talking about jumping ship to go to AT&T, knowing that they are doing the same thing, I could see your point, but "possibly" and "most likely" are terms that really shouldn't be ...
Re: Translation of:
Pretty much. It goes back to what I said last week. Apple is running scared. They know they've been outclassed at this point even with a mid-range smartphone that is 4G. This was a stall tactic to try to keep certain devices from coming to market before they can release the iPhone 5 in hopes of being competitive.... yes, I know, Apple is beating Android in the marketplace, but also seeing plenty of reports of ...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Finally!!!! A judge in this country that actually uses some discretion and common sense. The move by Apple was ridiculous to begin with and to file a motion with the judge hearing the case in a month was probably jurisidctionally correct, but a bad move. While the judge chose to use more diplomatic terms in her decision, I have a feeling the basic message was that she was not going to obstruct free market by deciding on ...
Re: Hmmm. Comparsion Shopping..
That was very well thought out and put together. I have to agree completely. I am out in the sticks and have to wait (crossing my fingers the whole time) for the Network Vision project to complete and see if I can get Sprint service where I live. In the meantime, I wait and shudder to see how closely AT&T follows Verizon's example when they unveil their shared data plans later this summer. :paranoid:
Re: Finally...
I agree. Was never saying anything about dismissing the case on face value. No problem with a hearing, but blocking imports and assuming damages before a ruling has been made is irresponsible, no matter what company is involved.
Re: Finally...
I have to agree. People scream all the time about frivolous lawsuits, but the fact of the matter is the judges still hear them and, most of the time, can see from initial pleadings that the case is baseless. The judges have as much power as anyone to put a stop to these kinds of cases, and I would like to see them use it.
Re: Someone with power needs to...
That it created???? Are you kidding me? Apple was not the first kid on the block, and the fact of the matter is that Apple's competition has surpassed them. So, yes, fear, pure and simple. Run a side by side comparision between any iPhone on the market and any top end Android phone. Do your homework, then contribute to the conversation.
Re: Someone with power needs to...

Somebody with the power to do so needs to call BS on this whole lawsuit thing, and send all the smartphone companies and their lawsuits packing. Enough already!
Yeah, but who? The ITC would be about the only body that could and they won't because they would need judicial backing. The judiciary won't do it, no matter how tired they are of frivolous court actions clogging their dockets, because of the possible appearance of impropriety. The ...
Re: $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
It's not greed, honestly. It's fear. Fact of the matter is, the iPhone 4 and 4S have shortcomings, especially against new high end Android devices. Apple is so afraid of actually competing in the market that they decide to try to block in the courts. It has gotten ridiculous. They are trying to do the same thing to HTC also, only Apple is going after ALL of their smartphones. Again...fear.
NOTICE!!!!
Seeing on Boy Genius that Apple is looking to go after Samsung on patent infringement for the S III just like they did to HTC. I understand that Apple is not going to be happy until everyone has an iPhone surgically attached to their hands, but this has gotten ridiculous. Compete in the market, not in the courts!!!!!

Re: yes
As a side note, the S III is on sprint.com for preorder and is not listed as an international phone either.
Re: yes
Pretty sure. Any SIM capable phone sold by Sprint is listed as an international capable phone. The EVO LTE is not listed as international. So, no SIM card
Re: What else is new?
Actually, I like the idea of a cage match. Whoever survives wins. We can sell tickets.... maybe even get a pay per view deal. Much faster resolution than courts or mediation.
Re: Still cannot see
I see you point, and don't disagree. If you only have one phone line and want to spend the money for the device, it works for you. I have 5 lines on my account, so prepaid service would actually be more expensive for me along with having to pay retail or close to retail for the phones, so to each his own. Don't think it makes someone a tool, but thanks for the input.
Re: is there anything Google cant buy
They can't buy Apple, lmao!!!!
But only because it's not for sale....
Re: Still cannot see
Maybe they are afraid of comittment. A contract may just be too much for them. :lol:
