@Sparkileptic: And you just pointed out EXACTLY what's wrong with Sony. They make products JUST to make them.. JUST so they have something to compete in the market, regardless of how good, or bad, it is. Sony USED to innovate, they USED to come up with entirely new ways to do things. Now they just take advantage of…
Ok sir, you have me there. In my wildest dreams I NEVER imagined a portable device with this futuristic "3G cellular data communication device" implemented inside of it... So you're telling me that Sony has dreamed up some sort of futuristic miracle mobile device that lets you communicate with no wires, we'll call it…
@Christopher Virginia: Stopped reading after "tech garbage". I'm not sure what sort of fan boy you are, I'm just sure that you are in fact, a fan boy. The company that just surpassed Microsoft in market cap got their by producing "garbage" in the worst world-wide recession since the great deppression... Genius,…
I know this is absolutely the worst place in the world to make a statement like this, but I feel I have to anyways.
@alex_scarfo: FUCK YEAH! You tell em!!
I'm no Bill Gates, but $30 for for a legit solution that doesn't require rubber bands (that most kids would take off and start flicking people with) and a piece of plexiglass that MIGHT last a week before it's forever lost, sounds much more appealing.

@Ryan: Really? I'm just about as certain as I can be about something I know nothing about that it absolutely won't. Number 1: LTE is still only deployed in VERY few areas. 2. The current LTE technology straight up sucks. The phones that employ it have to use a Frankenstein setup of different chipsets.
@Ryan: That's what I'm debating right now.. I get about 5 Mbps down on AT&T where I live as well, and everything I've read about Verizon says you shouldn't expect any better than 1.5 Mbps. At the end of the day that's probably still good enough for Pandora and casual web browsing, although I'm sure I'd see my…
@OCEntertainment: A phone that makes you constantly gauge your activities data needs and choose the level of network speed accordingly has failed already. If you don't think that's a HUGE drawback, you're out of touch with 99% of the population. That's probably why you have nothing to do with the design and…
@Ben Brockman: The whole HSPA+ thing is the first time I've ever been proud of AT&T. T-Mobile goes around announcing this miraculous "4G" network while AT&T performs the EXACT SAME upgrades to their own network and never hesitates to call it anything but "3.5G" at most.
@TareG: Android is already a battery hog on the current hardware. Add in the extra horsepower of the Atrix and you mark my words, you'll be BEGGING for a larger capacity battery.
@everyone6: I'm not a big fan of the weight reduction thing either. Besides lowering shipping costs for manufacturers I really can't see a huge advantage. The fact is our hardware is still archaic, ESPECIALLY the batteries, and current technology simply requires some heft if you want your device to last more than a…
"Of course we all know the advantage: blindingly fast speed."
