No but I'm currently in the process of cornering the market on dock connector adapters. Sorry apple fanboys, gonna cost you more than 30 buck muuuaaaaahhhhhaaaaaaaa.

Nope. My Rezound is running too well. I had a quick thought about getting one but it would have been a bad decision. I will stick with my Rezound and get a Nexus 7 tablet. I just have to figure out how to tether it for free without rooting.

My wife is an iPhone lover. I tried to tell her to get a gs3, but nooooo. She's not getting the i5 though because it's not that big of an improvement.

It is because their wool itches.....for the love of god, let them shave and get clean.....nothing wrong with reverting back to the basics.

Just move to Canada. We tether for free on any device.

I'm confused. It happens to me. Why was he saying he had to root then?

Often root is required, but you can also know certain diagnostic numbers and toggle certain radios to bypass those checks. You did not hear that here.

I think the I phone is very over-rated especially with the price your paying for it, the carriers that been selling them on there networks are cashing in big time as the many versions come out. Also on the street some of the i phones are converted to fit any carrier as Android keep building and getting faster.

Yes it is, but apple lovers love the experience. They camp, they talk, they blog, they buy, they fly. For them it is the poor nostalgia...it really isn't about a good phone, specs, or anything. They don't care. That is why a simple LTE and extra row of icons will bedazzle them.....they just don't give a rats ***.

"Considering" means simply that one is not a zombi sheep that cannot imagine trying another OS. I am considering the iPhone all of the time. So far, I have never been convinced it's worth it.

Tried the OS for a year....trust me, it sucks so bad....don't constrict yourself.

The iphone costs the same as any comparable android phone.

Yeah, no chance of that hapenning any time soon. I am more curious about WP and the Nokia Lumia 920, but cannot afford two phones currently and have plenty of Android apps that I use daily...

Okay but in Canada there are no restrictions. You just turn it on and tether. I tethered my entire family with a laptop, 2 tablets and a blackberry for 2 days while on vacation without wifi. Worked like a charm and was included in my basic 6gb per month plan.

Nice, and I love Canada...I love it so. Did you say 6GB? Yikes, we are (most of us pro's) still not counting GB. We don't have any problem educating ourselves on formalities of bandwidth.

56 percent of I phone users have smaller brains.

See I can make up percentages too.

that was what I was hoping for as well, at least you know with a new Android, at least one model will have leg up on its closest match. There just was nothing new or impressive about the 5. Rather disappointing considering all the hype it got. It was like going to see the Hunger games, lots of hype, but I thought it was rather slow and most of the action was at the end of the film.

Lol. You're mean. Jk. I honestly could never use up the 6gb if I tried. I updated and download anything I want and have never used more than 3 gbs. But I am on wifi a lot.
