    Tempted to Exchange for S7

    Well. I left my Note 4 for a new Note, but the easy scratching is a pain. Before exchanging the phone, there was already a scratch on the home button (how, no clue), and fine scratches on the screen using the Samsung clear case (folio). Now my replacement which I've kept the plastic stickies on...

    Nexus 7 v Galaxy Note 8.0

    The Note 8 has a lot of functionality. And while the price is steep, the larger screen and s-pen can be a boon. I've researched and researched but I can't justify $380 for the 8 after paying $250 for my then 16GB Nexus. Research and play with them - Best Buy and Fry's have displays - and Fry's...

    Any word on Asus Keyboard?

    Has anyone heard the word on the official keyboard? I really don't want to reflect on it as vaporware, but it's looking that way. I know there were some leaked images back in August. Just curious if anyone has seen anything on a blog. Thanks.

    Did you LCD screen test your device?

    Anyone who read, I did return my GNote 2 and got one without AMOLED defects - I didn't know they existed.

    Anyone Early Adopters A Little Ticked at the 32GB Flavor?

    Just a little venting. I would love the 32 GB, now it's out, but I bought my 16GB for the same price, and since they reduced the 16GB to 199$, I can't very well sell it for even that - what I believe would be a fair price for a few months light use. Wondering if there are others out there...

    Did you LCD screen test your device?

    Welcome to Flickr! Here is a primitive photo taken with my GNex - do you see the hook like streak near the text? That is he worst one. The others I can live with.

    Did you LCD screen test your device?

    I know it is common, but I have streaks, not dots.

    Did you LCD screen test your device?

    Mind you, I know this is AMOLED, but I'm seeing black likes even on gray screens, not kust on black screens. There is an app called LCD test (AMOLED ready) in the play store. You can see the screen anomalies best in a dark room after your eyes adjust. I just want to know that im not the only...

    Did you get white headphones with your gray Note?

    Hilarious things: My sister has the white GS3 - all black plugs and stuff.

    AMOLED screen blobs...again...

    I was hoping to avoid it, but the blobs are back on a gray background. Sigh, was hoping the Galaxy Nexus was the last I'd see of that.

    Did you get white headphones with your gray Note?

    Thanks...I was just curious because I purchased two white S3s on the family plan and was confused, lol. My sister's charging block is black, haha.

    The "I've Got My Note 2" Thread!

    I reserved mine yesterday. Set up the account over the phone, walked in and got it today after school. I think I was the first or second to buy it there today.

    $100 per line port-in credit for select customers...

    Okay, I left Big Red today for the Bananas. I received a $100 port-in credit per line for switching. I was looking at $350 for three lines (VZW ETF). I am getting a $300 bill credit. Employees of certain companies are eligible...but so are CREDIT UNION MEMBERS. I'm with Delta Community and...

    Help! Free tethering apps no longer work after getting Jelly Bean this morning...

    Yeah...my FoxFi is blocked (running stock Jelly Bean). Says it failed - I have an unlimited plan (how, I do not know, since they were running the 2GB thing when I signed in 2010). Anywho, I did find in some research that there is a backdoor widget - enables native without subscription check...
