Please don’t use this as a reason to make some low paid retail cashier’s day worse. If you need to do this, make sure you’re talking to the right person.

Well, I guess everyone is allowed to have their own opinion of what looks nice. I don't think I've ever seen (up to and including this Prada nonsense) a stock smartphone GUI of any kind that appeals to me. Fortunately, GUIs are just pictures that can be changed.

I know I'm being pedantic, but I can't believe the article says "mid-air space collision".

Good for taking paintball to the next level. Kinda useless when the zombie apocalypse comes though.

If there's a social network feature that can't be done easily from my phone, it doesn't exist for me. Maybe that's because I only bother with Facebook when I'm out and bored, like yesterday when I was waiting for my dog to get her shots at the vet, but that's just my perspective.

+1 I'd like to know this too, since my next phone (when my contract is up in about a year) will be an LTE phone. Unless, of course, the grandfathering doesn't work 3G to 4G. That would likely make me consider other carriers.

If you have stuff on your smartphone that you don't want other people to see, you should have it passworded and encrypted. I think it's rude when people try to show me their crappy photos on their crappy little phone screen. NO, I don't want to see your kid/cat/last bowel movement (yes, it's happened). Manners issues…
