    Did I Just Get a Free Nexus 4? And Should I Tell Google About It?

    Yes that's if everything goes "As Planned" I agree after 7 years you'll be fine. However I've had an instance where even though I paid off the debt the creditor kept listing my debt as being paid every single month. So it looked like (for the better part of 5 years) I always had a debt that was...

    Did I Just Get a Free Nexus 4? And Should I Tell Google About It?

    It's not just about "Credit Ratings" it's about Credit History. If you have a "non-payment" for ANY reason on your credit report if you want to live someplace nice they will not rent to you. Unless you are planning on living in the ghetto or with your parents the rest of your life credit history...

    Did I Just Get a Free Nexus 4? And Should I Tell Google About It?

    IMO It's less about "doing the right thing" and more about "not having overdraft fees in the future" Google could all of the sudden remember to charge you when you only had $250 left in your instead bank account because you HAD to take Tina to the Fancy Pizza place because you told her that her...

    Should I get a Nexus 4?

    It's really a very different experience. I use a BB for work and I must say I love the N4. The problem is (as others have said) it's a COMPLETELY different experience. I believe Android is far superior to Black Berry and for me personally I would never own a BB as long as I could have an...

    Popped your Google Wallet cherry at retail setting yet? I did today, and it was interesting.

    I'm having problems with mine today. First it wouldn't launch so I woke up my phone and re-touched it then it launched but it said "configuring wallet". I didn't want the people behind me to have to keep waiting so I took my CC out and used it. Then afterwards I went to Quik Chek to get some...

    Problems with Nexus 4 Google Wallet on T-Mo

    Am I crazy though? Tapping and Holding Away are different things right? Like tapping your brother in the face while in the back of the car = instant punishment Hovering your finger 1-2 inches away and saying "I'm not touching you I'm not touching you I'm not touching you I'm not touching you" =...

    Problems with Nexus 4 Google Wallet on T-Mo

    Hey All, I tried searching the forums but I didn't really see anything in particular that would help me. Basically I am able to setup my wallet successfully but I can't seem to use it. I thought maybe I was doing something wrong when trying to pay so I contacted wallet support which just made...
