If you have to have a phone right now look for a used M7or M8 and save most of your money for when Hima is released. Me I upgrade every year when the new flagship is released. :D PG

I naturally dislike most everything from BGR because they are always all Apple, all the time. They really don't have much that is constructive or relevant in the Android world.

Well for me my wish list is as follows: M7 Size in the M8 design - I love the feel of the M8, rounded edges and all but it could stand to be a tiny bit smaller. Hopefully without having to sacrifice too much in the way of screen size. 32/64/128GB - It's really time for this device to truly...

Depends on what they charge for it... If its a one time fee for the app and it's small then many of the 1.1m would probably pay it as most of them are previous BBM users and the die hards if you will...

This statement is complete BS. The leaked version didn't work when it first came out because Blackberry had prevented the authentication servers from accepting new connections. Blackberry never released a version to play store but yet opened up authentication for android connections using the...

Shortly BBM will get spun off into it's own company and the rest of the patents will get carved up and that will be that...

We're supposed to see it before end of September but nothing has been confirmed. We won't. Going straight to 4.3. PG

The main difference is that the dev edition comes with the bootloader and sim unlocked. Other than that the hardware is identical to the AT&T version. MG

Wow ok so I seem to have struck a nerve with some. If you haven't had a new phone in the last two years then I can certainly see someone jumping on board. I just don't see this being that ground breaking only a few months after the One X+ released. My rant about innovation is meant that...

There is nothing here... Still a max of 64GB available, still no MicroSD, no inductive charging, marginally better camera, slightly larger battery, larger screen... I don't see anything here to make me want to switch from a One X+, or a Samsung GSIII, or an iPhone for that matter.... There...

Probably an easy question but does anyone know if the One X+ from Telus in Canada is the same as the US version from AT&T? Just wanting to confirm the bands are the same and all. I'd like to purchase one for use in the US but don't want to buy the AT&T version because of all the locks and...

Yes it will be locked down but I read over on XDA that someone had unlocked the bootloader via the same process as the original at&t one x. I don't believe they have been able to root yet however. MG EDIT: Looks like Hasoon2000 over at XDA has his toolkit working on the at&t version. This...

First off I mean no disrespect at all and enjoy the discussion. That said where is it written that someone else gets to determine what I need in a tablet? There are plenty of reasons why tethering and hotspot are not viable options for me. Chief among them being that with current LTE phones...

Great discussion. I realize I am a different type of user than what is typical but it frustrates me to no end that from a hardware perspective Apple is still leading in the sense that you can get nearly any flavor of memory and connection options you want and here we are 8 months later and most...

This has been a big issue for me for nearly a year... wifi tablets are virtually useless to me, I have one and it gets used when I am at home sitting on the couch but nowhere else. I need one as a tool for business but refuse to an Apple and would prefer to buy something other than Samsung...
