    Buy the Honor 5x for a buck (if you are lucky)

    Yea....I just tried this earlier... I was able to place it in my cart. Great, right? When I tried to proceed thru the order process...it changed to out of stock.. So apparently more than 1 person can place it in their cart. This isnt right to me because if I place it in my cart I should be able...

    A big Nexus 6 might be a big mistake for Google

    iPhone 6 Vs. iPhone 6 Plus sales: 6 Plus seems far behind | BGR Just going by web traffic data....thats all. Remember the 10 million number is combined. I agree tho it being back ordered, supply shorted plays a factor too. We will see in a year or 2 if many do want the bigger iPhone...

    A big Nexus 6 might be a big mistake for Google

    That quote was all I needed to read. Where have they been since 2010? EVO and Droid X were some of the hottest, most popular phones when they launched. And phones have gotten bigger since then. Samsung all but has the phablet market to themselves. Maybe...just maybe....the article was written...

    iPhone 6's are bending when sitting down?

    The fact that folks actually contacted Apple makes it a lil more serious than just users posting on the internet. And this was within 6 days. 6 days, 9 complaints about bent phones....is nothing to just brush aside.....no matter how many millions they sell. Thats a lil more than 1 complaint a...

    iPhone 6's are bending when sitting down?

    And this is why Apple gets so much heat when issues arise....I havent heard of any of the ones before Antenna Gate.... Apple is a perfect company that builds perfect devices...according to some, many. Issues like those would be expected with anyone else, but not Apple.

    Did Samsung lose $30 Billion because of the iPhone?

    Its possible. Just saw this posted in another thread... Apple stock dinged $23B since iPhone 6 | America's Markets The stock market is a scary place.

    iPhone 6's are bending when sitting down?

    I hope that never happens.....because that would mean all other Android OEM's would have to suck so bad at making phones....and one of Android's pros is choice. As was stated, blame those that tout Apple's "it just works" mantra, the premium build, quality, etc. Apple is made to be so perfect...

    Why did you choose to own a Android device?

    I have kind of a long story, will try to make it short.... Back in 2008 or 2009 I got my first smartphone..Win Mo Omnia 1 on Verizon. Had many issues with it, thought Verizon service was going bad, turns out it was my phone....but thats a topic for why I dont like Samsung phones...:p Played...

    Now, who wants a metal phone?

    I love metal phones.....when they are thicker and maybe smaller. Moto is my fav manufacturer and most if not all their older phones were metal. I kinda see why Moto went away from metal when they made the Droid RAZR, and using a material like Kevlar. I dont like the thin, ultra thin phones. I...

    iPhone 6's are bending when sitting down?

    Re: iPhone 6 Plus Bend Test I agree 100%. If phones start bending by being in the front pocket tho.....thats a problem. I wear loose fitting jeans so I wont have this issues as bad. I have sat on a handful of smartphones without bending or breaking them. At times I have forgotten I had my...

    Does Apple Inspire Android to Do Better?

    I hope they inspire each other. I hope WP and BB inspires others and vice versa. Lets go back in time before the iPhone. If Palm, BB and Win Mo was more like the orig iPhone, what could Apple do that was so radically different vs how it really was in the mobile market when it launched? The...

    iPhone 6's are bending when sitting down?

    Re: iPhone 6 Plus Bend Test Apple has the last say so on all the hardware...Android is the OS. So far you have shown some examples of some Android phone manufactures. That does not = all of Android. You can say ____ model from HTC, Sony. There were even reports of the Droid RAZR cracking...

    Is it possible to unlock a phone through another source other than the phone itself?

    The only thing I can think of is connecting it to a TV. But...you might need to see the phone's screen for that...not really sure. It might just show up on the TV....that would be a huge plus. Again...dont really know. Search for Galaxy S 4, MHL or HDTV adapter. You might need an HDMI cable...

    Which version of Android did you start with? Which version are you using today?

    I started with 2.0.1 First Android phone was a Droid 1 in 2010. I either rooted and installed 2.1 quick or the update came so quick OTA that I barely had time with 2.0.1 I had some trouble with that Droid 1 a few years ago and was stuck on 2.0.1 for months. Was finally able to put 2.2 on it...
