    Where do they come up with the names for Android devices?

    I picture a board room full of 12 year old boys full of caffeine. SUPER CHROMEBOT! No no no INCREDIBLE AMAZE 4G!! No wait.... HTC AWESOME EXTREME No I've got it! SAMSUNG SCINTILLATE SEXY TIME! I wonder, what will they do when they've run out of over the top adjectives and nonsense and...

    Has Apple lost their minds?

    No way can Apple or anyone else compete with Android when it comes to throwing clock cycles and cores at a phone OS only to have it STILL lag and stutter because you were too stupid to prioritize touch input on your phone OS when you designed it from the beginning. That's true. Microsoft and...

    Has Apple lost their minds?

    Supreme advancements in technology like what? 25 different skins to slow down an already laggy, glitchy cobbled-together Frankenstein OS? Or did you mean having virtually no rules or guidelines for app development that nothing looks uniform or consistent? The ONLY reason Android has succeeded...

    Help me choose a phone? :D

    Neither. Wait for Windows Phone 8 this fall. If you aren't done playing with buggy Android junk though, then get the Nexus device. At least it isn't plagued with bloatware and crappy skins that make a buggy OS even worse and require rooting to remove. The Nexus device is always going to be...

    Iphone 4S or E4GT?

    A big shiny colorful screen isn't much use if the OS running on it is a lagging, buggy OS that needs constant attention to run right, now is it? Stick with your iPhone, or wait for Windows Phone 8 in the fall and have the best of both worlds: Nice phones with big, sharp, colorful screens and...

    Advice Please (Picking a phone, I'm an Android Noob!)

    Sturdy physical build and Samsung do not belong in the same sentence. Samsung builds their phones out of the cheapest, thinnest, shiniest crappy plastic on the planet. Have you not noticed whenever you pick up a Samsung phone in the store, the flimsy battery door is usually falling off? Glued...

    I can't settle on a new Android phone. Current BlackBerry user.

    Re: I can't settle on a new Android phone. Current BlackBerry use Doesn't matter because whichever Android phone you choose, in 3 months there will be something "better" with 0.2 more ghz and a 5" screen instead of a 4.9" screen. The Android treadmill never leads you anywhere except down a path...

    Why Android?

    Android is a great choice if your hobby is re-organizing your home screen and flipping in new ROMS every week. If you actually want a reliable phone that doesn't jitter and lag and has apps that are uniformly designed to match the GUI instead of looking like a museum of bad interface design...

    Will Windows Phone take over?

    Google doesn't feel as evil as Microsoft? Really? Google is just much better at being sneaky. They give away free junk in exchange for running their tentacles up inside every orifice of your online life so they can profile you, sell your information and help other companies target market to...

    Will Windows Phone take over?

    Um.. every version of Windows you listed does "dominate" everything. They have something like 90% of the desktop OS market. How much does Google Chrome OS have again? And that isn't called vaporware. Vaporware is something that never gets released, or that gets released so long after it was...

    GS3: Hold Out for Galaxy Note 2??

    5.5" inches that's all? Might as well get an iPhone. I need a phone with at least a 6.5" screen? How long do you guys think it will take Samsung to go up to 6.5"?

    I want a Galaxy Note

    ...but I can't imagine carrying around a phone THAT big in my pocket. I'd also feel like a power nerd whipping out a giant tablet-sized phone in public. How do you guys deal with that and the short battery life?
