    Ordered new Xperia Z1S through T-Mobile

    So I currently have the Z, and am not eligible to "Jump!" until April 20th. However, I decided to see how much it would cost to upgrade to the Z1s on the website, and it says I can upgrade for $0 down?? I went to the last step before confirming the order, and it just listed me having to pay $10...

    Last year's Nexus 4 launch

    How many of you tried to order a Nexus 4 on the first day of release via the play store? What time did they officially go on sale? What was your experience like? I am planning on purchasing a Nexus 5 (or whatever it's called) when it is released, due to surprisingly being able to sell my current...

    The Z1

    I have a friend that works with the FCC, and he said, unofficially of course, his organization has been testing a Sony Honami (Xperia Z1) recently. So hopefully that means the Z1 will be coming out in the U.S. pretty soon. Though supposedly the Z Ultra is also supposed to come out soon, at least...

    The Z1

    I've heard a rumor that T-mobile has an exclusivity agreement with Sony, and that at least in the near future all Sony releases will only be for T-mobile. That would explain why the Xperia Z is only on T-mobile.

    The Z1

    Sony Xperia Z1 - Smartphones - CNET Reviews Says worldwide release in September. The thing looks like a beast! :-$ I wonder if it has wireless charging. I would think the Z1 would be available at least for T-mobile, since it currently carries the Z. I certainly hope so.

    Can anyone Name a cheap decent smartphone experience?

    Nexus 4 is <$300, and even though it is approaching 1 year old, it still is a very capable phone. You might want to wait for the Moto X details. Rumor has it that it will be a $300 off contract phone.

    T-mobile android options...what to get?

    She wants something 'big', but the current 'biggest' option (Note 2), she isn't really thrilled about. And the S4 (and anything smaller) is "too small". You probably know how picky women can be. Style is also a factor. I might just tell her to wait until the Xperia Z Ultra comes out. Then she...

    T-mobile android options...what to get?

    So I'm ready to dump verizon and switch my wife over to T-mobile....which phone should she get? It seems the 2 choices for her are the Xperia Z and Note 2. She was sorta underwhelmed by the Note 2, though. As the Xperia Z just came out in the US market, there aren't a lot of user reviews...

    Looking for Group Messaging MMS App Recommendation

    You might try resetting your APN settings to default. Something could have gotten messed up which is preventing SMS/MMS from being sent.

    Google Nexus 4 First Impressions/Reviews

    I've had my N4 since last Friday, and I'm loving it! My previous phone was a Droid X (no, not X2, the original X), and the difference between them is night and day. Most noticible thing right away was the weight difference. The X is a brick compared to the N4, which is like a feather, despite...

    N4 Wireless charger disaster

    I bought the orb, mainly due to the fact I hate wires and the clutter they create. $60 for a charging unit is a bit steep, but I like the no-wire aspect. I've had horrible luck with micro-usb connectors failing on me (connections becoming loose, phone not charging properly), so I took the plunge...

    Portable bluetooth keyboard?

    Does anyone have any recommendations for a bluetooth keyboard that works well with the N4? I would really prefer something that was foldable. I found this one on Amazon, but wanted to get more suggestions. Thanks! Amazon.com: Freedom Pro Bluetooth Folding KeyBoard with Elegant Storage Case for...
