    Samsung Pay: Useful Tool or Cool Novelty?

    I've used Android Pay twice. What I loved about it was that it was instant. Swiping my card is not. After swiping you have to answer a minimum of three questions. As soon as I put my phone over the sensor it beeps and I'm done.

    Backorder Thread (Nov 20th and onwards)

    I disagree. Google sent an email to anyone who was backordered and set appropriate expectations and explained they would be given free shipping. Free shipping is an olive branch isn't it? The "situation" is you ordered a phone and you are on a wait list. If you don't want to be on a wait...

    New Nexus 4 purchase: Anyone get a shipping notification or tracking number?

    The backorder email stated, " Due to overwhelming demand, your Nexus 4 is on backorder and is expected to ship within three weeks". The keyword here being "within". I don't think everyone with a backorder email will have to wait the full 3 weeks. Just some of us. Probably me. I had to...
