I had a weird experience at Best Buy. I had pre-ordered a Note 4 via VZW, switching to the Edge plan and prepared to be charged $35/month for 20 months. The Best Buy website showed the price of a white Note 4 as $25/month (and the black one at $27.50!), so I went to my local store. The sales...

I like the size and shape of the AC adapter that shipped with the Galaxy Nexus LTE and would like to purchase another one. The micro USB cable is also thinner and more flexible than most. I've been unable to find it on Samsung's web site. Anyone know if it can be purchased?

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - 42 was the answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe and Everything.

Yes! I'll take it I'd be happy replacing my OG Droid with a new HTC Thunderbolt.

OOOH - pick me! I should definitely be one of the top 5 choices.;)
