I have a few options, but generally they're limited to AT&T or T-Mobile due to plan price. If it's T-Mobile, then I'd probably use Simple Mobile's $40/month unlimited plan (which I'm using now). If it's AT&T, there's a way to take a $100 Nokia E71 on StraightTalk, register it, and then pop in...

Re: 20 Reasons to Consider the Sprint Epic 4G Touch 10% would only cover tax in my state, I'm currently unemployed (applying everywhere, especially places I know offer Sprint discounts), and out of school (and can't afford to go back). Even under a combined discount of 30% (which I don't even...

Looking for a replacement for my HTC G2. Currently has an Otterbox case with CM7 Nightly installed and overclocked to 1.516Ghz...it's not bad on battery life even with that (mainly since I don't use my phone that much), but I'd love something: -Thinner (don't need keyboard) -Faster (or as fast)...

Re: 20 Reasons to Consider the Sprint Epic 4G Touch As much as I'd love one...is there any way of getting it without paying an absurd $80 a month (before taxes) for it? Like, are there some "hidden" Sprint plans you can get at a Sprint store or something?

I can pay ~$250 to get the G2 now, or wait and buy the Slide 4G for what will probably be ~$500 (to use either with Simple Mobile - assuming the Slide 4G is compatible based on the regular 4G and the Slide 3G being compatible). And because of the company (Simple Mobile), these are pretty much my...

SwiftKey -Predicts better over use/time -Scales properly with screen density changes (unlike Swype or SwiftKey X) -Has numpad-style configuration even when not entering phone number (unlike pretty much every other virtual keyboard)

I live in right in a 4G area, so that's not a problem. Hmm...so if I want a 4G GSM Android phone with a physical keyboard, is the HTC G2 my best choice? Only problem is that it's discontinued...what about if I drop the 4G, anything better than the G2 that still has a keyboard and is GSM?

I haven't looked at Android phones much outside of prepaid, and after having found out about Simple Mobile, I almost screamed out of happiness. So now I'm looking for a good GSM phone to replace my current Optimus V...and wow, so much to choose from - qHD (although changing the screen density...

Yeah, running the latest Bumblebee, with LCD density at 120. And my wall charger started working fine the other day.

Looking for a portable keyboard to use for quicker text input, and I'm wondering if anybody here has experience with the Optimus V specifically. I saw this one for the iPhone, and I'd love to mod it (and I'm sure I'm capable of it) to use with my Optimus V...

I don't know what it is, but recently I've had a second cable cause problems when charging my Optimus V (the only thing I charge with either). First cable is a generic microUSB data cable from Monoprice, which only charges about half the time (which I figure is due to the loose microUSB end...

Is Bluetooth or headset support fixed yet? It's the one thing keeping me from staying with CM7, since I make phone calls while driving often and it's mandatory to use handsfree communications here. Even if speakerphone is fixed, my phone speaker is too quiet in my loud car to be useful, so it...

Anybody know if this works with a custom LCD screen density? I'm running 120 now (versus the stock 16), and I'm not sure if some stuff would not show (or show incorrectly).

Preferably in the <$200 range, just looking for something basic to use as an offline GPS device (meaning I'll need to find a Google Maps alternative), and as a basic music player. WIFI, bluetooth, and some sort of external expansion slot are necessary. And the bigger screen the better -but most...

I'd gladly use it if it didn't have any problems with Bluetooth. I do a lot of driving while on the phone, so I need Bluetooth to work and properly.
