I would totally buy a Pixel XL if i could get it in a reasonable amount of time, but I'm starting to feel like it will be an "old" phone by the time it comes. GS8 is already leaking and IP8 is practically around the corner. Google has to be working on a 2nd Gen product too, so I'm having a...

I didn't place any order...and just wound up getting 2GB of bonus data added to my more everything plan and additional line access credit. The day before the rep told me not to switch because the "plans would be better for me tomorrow." They weren't. The 12GB plan went away, and the UDP was...

Was on the phone switching my VZW plan last night and the rep I was on the phone with told me they had 128GB Pixel XL's in the warehouse if I wanted to order one and it should ship in a day. Can this possibly be true even though it says 3/21 on the website?

So I'm eligible for an upgrade at Verizon, and I have been looking at the Note 4 for a while. I was an Android user back when the best Verizon had to offer was the Droid X. It left a bad taste in my mouth and I wound up moving back to the iPhone when it became available on Verizon. I do miss...

Been trying to get on AC on my desktop and I can't get past the huge Nvidia Shield ad. Can anybody else find a close button?

Love everything about this phone except the low res camera....would probably keep me from buying it unfortunately.

To the OP...are you less disappointed? I'm considering switching from an iPhone 4S to the GS4. Always curious to hear feedback.

I have to decide if I want to move away from seamless backups and easy syncing of music and stuff. I hate to be one of those people that say "it just works" but most of the time, it does just work, and I know there are basically solutions to all of these issues within Android, but there isn't...

I don't want to get off the thread topic, however the problem wasn't that the LCD died...it was delaminating from the cover glass resulting in large gray spots that looked like smudges behind the glass. When I initially called they told me it was "misuse." I asked how taking it out of the box...

That's great except that you're in a Verizon thread and the Xperia will not work on Verizon's network.

Like you, I have a strong technical background....I'm an IT manager in a creative field (meaning 100% mac organization). Tinkering with Android isn't an issue...it's just integrating an Android phone into my basically 100% Mac life without feeling like I'm missing some functionality that I'd...

What do you think of the screen brightness? When I look at it in the Verizon store it seems like the screen could be a bit brighter, but I'm not sure. Also, what else about iOS do you miss?

I've been primarily an iPhone user since I got a 3GS on AT&T about 4 years ago, and after having terrible service in NYC, got a Droid X on Verizon to come back to a better network (IMHO). I had a bad experience with lag and crashes with Android 2.2. I suspect LOTS has changed since then, and...

Why not set up a free Google Voice account? Free visual voice mail that works just like it did on the iPhone (and you don't have to pay Verizon for it). It will also transcribe your voice mail message so you can read it rather than play if you like. Notifications should work for Facebook...
