It's so cute to see how short-sighted fanboys are. I don't get why it makes some people so happy to see another company do poorly, as if a lack of competition actually helps the consumers. Seriously. I wouldn't wish harm to any "competing" company simply for the fact that the more choices out...

Well, I am trying to NOT have to pay for ANY data plan... Right now it's only $20 more for her line, I'm sure even the cheapest plan that has voice and data would be more than $20 probably. - - - Updated - - - So I guess I'm stuck with trying to look for a good dumbphone. Anyone know of any...

I wanted to see how well it would pair with my BlackBerry Music Gateway in my car using the NFC, and to my surprise, her S3 doesn't have an NFC antenna...

Hello, first post here on the Android side. :-) I was asked by my friend to help her decide on a new smartphone. I know this is the T-Mobile forum, but there isn't a Metro PCS forum, and T-Mobile owns them now, so hopefully someone here would have an answer for this. I helped her buy a used in...
