Did Sprint even pick up the first Galaxy Note? Was there ever a CDMA version of the phone? :looney:
Finally got around to reading about the iphone5 release/specs and wow…its just amazing how very mediocre the “new” device is. You would think after the 4S hustle they would at least try and come with something really epic.
This is really good news for the Android and Windows platforms.
BTW, Galaxy Note 2 looks absolutely sick!
So I was thinking about switching my Windows 7 Phone for a Galaxy S3, what ya’ll think?
I love Android, but Windows 8 is going to really make everyone have to step up their game. The entire OS is built around the mobile platform, and it looks solid.
If it’s stable and adopted very quickly (It will be adopted rapidly, Samsung’s already announced models), then we’re in for some innovation.
There’s a Windows 8 phone?! Let me do some research, lol.
Google Voice was a selling point for me for Android. I had to make so many calls to Korea regarding my trip over there last year that without that, I would’ve been stuck. And being able to use that in transit instead of hovering around my laptop just to even get it to forward to my phone was a lifesaver.
Just bought a Galaxy 3 FULL PRICE AND NOT A SINGLE SHIT WAS GIVEN
might have to sell when that Note 2 comes out tho lmao
This is the best thing about android over all the other OS. Since Google is a part of the backbone, there are so many productive services to back it up. While I admire Apple’s attempt, the 5 just isn’t the innovative leap. The stuff they mention about its feature set are things that Google has done for quite a while. Windows 8 phones may have a solid platform, but unless they have services other than Bing to rely on, Android, IMO has the largest feature set.

My nephew uses a windows phone. My GF uses an iPhone and i was considering one or the other down the line though i love my Razr Maxx. The Maxx HD look very nice but if i can get on Verizon the Note 2 and its quad core? Sold!

I’m on that Note 2 as well. I hardly make phone calls. For me this thing is going to be a portable media player. The bigger screen is a major selling point.

Cheating on tests 21st century style.
note 2 looks good but i’m pretty disappointed it didn’t get the new exynos chip which we were hearing would be in phones by the end of the year. now i don’t see it being in a phone until the galaxy s4. the leap from current gen to the new exynos is supposed to be massive so everything until then is just a stop gap until it comes out.

my ideal phone would be the note 3 with new exynos but i don’t know if i want to wait until next year for it 
Very recently, I’ve been looking at that thing & doing some (web) research on it. So far, it seems pretty o.k. with gaming.

Here’re are a couple of reviews I found on it …
i’ve had the nexus 7 (16gb) since launch and have pretty much used it every day. i use it mostly for web browsing and as an e-reader although every once in awhile i will put a movie or tv show on it to watch whenever.
a couple notes about mine.
- it’s small enough to fit in most of my pockets so i have it with me all the time.
- when i don’t have wifi i use my phone as a wifi hotspot to web browse or whatever
- rooted and overclocked to 1.6ghz (stock is 1.3)
- there’s still lag. i’m starting to think it might be a tegra 3 thing because my transformer prime had the same issues.
- i use splashtop to stream from my home computer to the tablet when necessary…or mostly use it to start dl’ing torrents while i’m not at home so they’ll be ready for me when i do get home.
- i have slingbox so i can stream live tv from home or anything on my dvr.
- since it’s rooted i can use an otg cable and microsd card to expand the memory if needed (i personally haven’t had to)
so i stopped by a tmobile after the gym today just to check out their network speeds and i must say i’m pretty impressed. i dl’ed the speedtest.net app and it fluctuated between pings of 120-1000 with dl speeds between 5-10 mb so that was pretty unreliable. the real test was streaming with my slingbox;
with sprint, if i stream live tv from home i’ll get like 600kb/s which is BARELY enough for it to stream just standard def and that still has buffering.
with tmobile i was getting 4000 kb/s which was more than enough to get an hd stream on their demo galaxy s3 with absolutely zero buffering or lag. the thought of tethering a tmobile phone to my nexus 7 to watch my slingbox while i’m not at home makes me giddy. i asked one of the reps if they had LTE in the sf bay area yet and he said next year. so the network currently is on hspa+ which if it can consistently get download speeds of 6mb/s is pretty damn good.
with tmobile now having an UNLIMITED 4gLTE plan with no data caps or throttling and a network with decent coverage where i love, i think it’s inevitable that i ditch sprint and switch to them.
Also have a Nexus 7, love everything about it. If you’re looking at 7" tablets, it’s the best thing out there, no others in its size beats it.
Unless you’re getting the 9 in HD fire I dont see any reason to get the hd7 over the nexus 7.
Pulled the trigger on a Google Nexus 7. I don’t regret it one bit. I unlocked the bootloader on this thing and flashed TWRP inside of ten minutes haha.
Hey guys I need some advice. I’ve been using the iPhone since the original one and when they showed all the “new” features for the 5, I kinda wanted to smack someone because it was very lack luster. So i’m deciding whether to just suck it up and get an 5 or move onto a Galaxy 3?
Except Sprint’s network is Roll tier. It’s great in theory, but with the intermittent service, dropped calls, and 3G speeds in a LOT of big areas it’s just not worth it.
Um, it depends. I find a lot of times people put way too much stock into having the latest and greatest. What are you missing out on by not upgrading, and what do you want in an upgrade? The other thing to consider is that you’ll be losing out on whatever money you put into the iOS ecosystem. There’s nothing inherently wrong with iPhones, as long as you aren’t buying them out of ignorance.
