I tried to take advantage of an emailed Sprint.com loyalty offer in which I could get the Bolt for $10 per month for 24 months. That is after a $120 discount. Unfortunately every time I go to Sprint.com I just get jibberish on the screen. If you can not log into sprint.com then there is no...

I purchased the exact same EVO card, also w/o any problems. $20 with Prime is a good deal. Never have had problems with Sandisk. Had a problem the one time I purchase PNY, but that really doesn't mean anything. YMMV

This very likely would be my next phone, but apparently it isn't coming to Sprint. I have to get a new phone in four weeks and four weeks can be a long time for phones this time of year. We'll see.

Re: Plain and simple: Reasons for me to buy this phone. The paramount reason for me to buy, or even consider any phone, is headphone out quality. In my limited experience HTC seems best. I had the opprotunity to play with an iPhone 6 and it took me maybe five seconds to determine it was not up...

Has anyone tried a 128GB? Has anyone used the OTG?

Re: What are the rules for Sprint & Tethering? I recently received a call from Sprint telling me there has been tethering on my account/number and if it happened again my account would be terminated. Just take from me, as one AC'er to another, that I haven't tethered anything. I just don't need...

I woke up this morning and looked at my phone. address bar notification from Sprint Zone. It said update to 5.1 . Now or later. I said later. Was I dreaming, because now I see nuthin?

Exactly. I grew tired of carrying around a "brick" of phone,amp/dac, and charger. That shouldn't be necessary in this day and age. But Andrew of AC pissed me off with his "I don't know I am no audiophile" reply to my question about headphone out quality in a review of another phone. But yet he...

I guess I am expecting too much, too soon. I did think I saw mention of L5.1 on a Moto E, or similar. Got me to think it was coming out.

Raptor007 & bigsmooth66: can you say if phone has L 5.0 or 5.1 ? I am interested in Google VPN. My understanding is that Lollypop 5.1 will be necesary. If not I wonder when? Has Asus been good about updates?

Bigsmooth, can you comment on the headphone out sound? I am not expecting you to be an "audiophile" but you say you had the HTC One M8, a phone known to have very good headphone out sound. Headphone is of paramount importance to me and this phone is made by Asus, a company that in the past has...

maximum 64G mSDcard, no mention of NFC. Thanks, Obama! /s

I wonder if the Asus phone will have really good sound via headphone out.

A dedicated amplifier sounds good. (no pun intended). For my purposes, I see too much attention paid to camera and too little to sound quality. If you ask anything about SQ then reviewers diss you by saying they aren't audiophiles (I'm looking at you, Andrew). Looking for new phone about March...

Coorsleftfield, how does that work? I check the boxes on roaming, but after perhaps 30 minutes I look at the boxes and they are unchecked. When the boxes are checked I don't get much better coverage or speeds than if I was on Sprint. I have a Verizon LG 8.3 and it will get 15G (about 4 miles...
