I've had a Galaxy SII for over a year now. Still looks nearly pristine. Plastic is more durable. This is why I laugh at the people who complain about plastic phones "feeling" cheap. That's nice that you care about how it feels. I prefer caring about the reality. And after a year, my plastic phone with the uncracked…

Since the entire thing is riddled with spelling errors, I don't think so, unfortunately.

I knew Moon. She was never phased by it. When you live your entire life as FRANK ZAPPA's daughter, her name was the last strange part of her life. It's much, much easier to get away with a strange name when you live in an eccentric, artistic family where your entire life is strange. It's far more easily defended than…

Bought a Revue when they dropped to $99. Mostly liked it, although I found its format support lacking enough that it was unreliable which videos I could stream to it from my desktop. Still, overall, I enjoyed it. Then I moved in February and sold my TV, using my computer as my primary entertainment system. Had no use…

I appreciate their openness. I'm sure they could have found a way to keep this quiet instead of publicizing what nastiness they found. Hopefully that openness leads to provable improvements.

I seem to recall most of the Apple articles making this matter rather clear. Yes, Apple was the focus because the studies were about their factories, but I recall all the articles pointing out a variety of companies who utilized the same factories, including Samsung.

Are you even trying to make sense?

But you appear to be defending the initial argument, which was an argument comparing T-Mobile to other carriers by using something T-Mobile has in COMMON with other carriers. So your defense of a bad argument makes no sense.

Not accurate. They didn't determine that LTE and WiMax are 4G standards, they just accepted that there are more colloquial uses of the phrase "4G" and stopped fighting its use. But they definitely do not count as 4G in the technical standard.

AT&T also markets their HSPA+ as 4G. And T-Mobile's 42Mbps is faster than most people can get their LTE to download. And LTE isn't 4G, either, making ALL carriers liars about it.

Not a chance. You're blinded, like many are, by how prevalent broadband is in your area. It's still not everywhere. Until it is, they can't cater to only broadband users.

Hmmm... tools designed with the express purpose of killing and injuring, versus toys designed with the express purpose of inducing fun and awe. Yep, banning one is JUST like banning the other.

I asked if you used one because despite your claim, it didn't seem as though you had. Your comments didn't seem to come from the perspective of someone who's actually had experience with Android and knows that the specific types of things you're comparing them on (like this modded launcher) are arguably EASIER on…

Doesn't even approach "most heavily locked down piece of garbage ever". Have you never used an Apple product?

Wait, you're comparing modding Windows to modding Android, and throwing Android into the same category as iPhone? Have you used an Android phone. You can do an insane amount of "modding" without rooting. And the comparable levels of modding for Windows often introduce just as much instability and risk as doing so to…

Oh, yes, those "lesser" brands Little Debbie and Entenmann's, the brands with notably higher-quality ingredients who stopped using lard decades ago, unlike Hostess. What a shame.

Root access introduces a ton of security risks. It's perfectly logical for it to not have it out of the box.

Backup, for one. TitaniumBackup requires root. I can restore all my apps, with their data, in minutes from my previous phone using Titanium.

Yes, there have been plenty of studies to show they commonly have phones and active social network presence. Just because you can't afford rent or a car payment doesn't mean you can't afford the $30/mo for something that provides you access to the world.

Thank you, seriously. This is really, really pushing it.
