    Note 5 vs iPhone 6s

    Actually I think if other companies could use the A9 processor on Android it will still blow everything out of the water. Remember, in a lot of those benchmarks, you are comparing 8 core phones with a 2 core phone. Both Qualcomm and Intel have been disappointing in this regard.

    Note 5 vs iPhone 6s

    Samsung had actually marketed the removable battery as an advantage over the iPhone, until they took it out. Cloud storage would be better if the majority of the users were on an unlimited data plan but the carriers have pushed that away. Physical storage is actually consumer issue pushed by...

    Note 5 vs iPhone 6s

    Just my 2 cents. I went from a Galaxy S4 to an iPhone 6 plus. This year I was looking at Note 5 but I was disappointed. Not for the quality of the phone but the fact that Samsung removed what I considered what was one of their most compelling features the removable battery. I could live...

    why do you continue buying a carrier phone when they no longer subsidized?

    Carriers charge you zero percent interest. Its easier to swallow a 600 dollar payment over 24 months by doing so. The phones sold by carriers are unlocked after they are paid off and they are required to do so by U.S. law. Most people do not have the cash flow to pay 600 dollars up front and...

    We got 20gigs for the price of the 10gig plan

    I did this a couple days ago and one of the posters about this deal on some of the deal websites. Call 611. When you reach a CSR ask for retention department. If they ask why, tell them you are considering canceling. Let the retention department know you have been shopping around and would...

    AT&T offering double data on Mobile Share plans for a limited time

    My understanding is that on some phones it will work but you will not get LTE speeds. Here is a link to an androidcentral article which describes the same issue with the Galaxy Note 3...

    Anyone going to trade their Android phone for iPhone 6?

    They sold 10 million phones over the weekend, you would have to encounter 100000 of those people to reach 1 percent. Give us empirical evidence that you have reach a significant number of the Apple iPhone 6 user base that have stated there is an actual issue with everything you stated in your...

    Anyone going to trade their Android phone for iPhone 6?

    If the developer used launch images and didn't update them to the proper sizes for the iPhone 6/6 plus, the app will run in scaled mode using the base of the native resolution of the iphone 5/5s size. Also if the developer use a launch screen xib instead of launch images, this issue doesn't...

    New iPhone 6 Features

    It has nothing to do with the credit card it has to do with the payment processing service. If the NFC terminal doesn't use Mastercard Paypass system, you can not use Google Wallet. For example around me there are about 30 stores that use the Visa Paywave system instead of Mastercard Paypass...

    New iPhone 6 Features

    Paypass is owned by Mastercard. Instead of allowing every possible NFC terminal, it has to be Mastercard Paypass. That locks the Merchant in if they wanted to use NFC payments for Android phone operators.

    S5 over iPhone 6

    Actually I am talking about investors and seed funding. Also the right now the data shows that the Apple App Store has more funds being spent on it. I have seen a lot of polish apps come out for Android over the last year. I think that all change as the market became more 4.0.X based os wise.
