Comprehensive Android Phone/MODs/ROMs Thread

repeating what I said in another thread in case you guys didn't read it. always worth it to save $100~

Just posting this in here that if you decide on the S3 try calling a bunch of walmarts in your area. Tmobile is selling the S3 for like 280$ (after rebate), which is the highest they've ever charged on the phone. We were gonna get it for hubby for father's day and were like "FUCK THAT". Then he found out that some walmarts were selling them for cheaper. Sure enough, he found a walmart that was selling them for $198. No rebate needed and they tax on the $198 instead of the $600 that Tmobile will tax you on.

So I relocked the GN and took it back. Told the guy what was up and he's looking through the phone doing his verizon thing when he mutters to himself "hmm, usb debugging is enabled" and I don't think I could have screamed FUCK to myself in my head any louder. He didn't care though. He's like, the recent update fixes most of these problems, in fact several employees here with this phone had the same issues till they updated, but I can still give you a new one if you want.

New one will be here tomorrow, free of course, and he told me the S3 will be in in about a month (which he is also waiting for himself). He said itll be $199/250 depending on memory size with 2yr. If nothing newon the iphone5 comes out by the time they have the S3 in stock, then I'll probably grab the S3. Really, unless the 5 is amazing I'll be finally going to android. Not that I dislike my iphone, but its run its course. So tired of the hoops to jump through for jailbreaking and getting the UI the way I want.

USB debug means crap. You put it back at stock thats all that matters.

[octopus]

LOL dat home screen ripoff of Kindle fire ;o Love it!

[octopus]

I hope they update some of the other Google apps that really need to be updated for tablets... like Google Reader, Google Finance, etc.

[TummieGaruda]

12 core GPU...the hell??

[octopus]

[TummieGaruda]

Size of internal storage and is it expandable? That is huge for me.

No SD card slot I believe.....

[octopus]

Strange. The Asus Transformer line has microSD slot on the tablet side so I'm surprised if this doesn't have one.

[TummieGaruda]

No SD card slot I believe.....

That sucks. My GF has the Kindle Fire and she hates the fact that it doesn't have a lot of internal space or an expandable slot. 16 GB is nice, but I would love to have expandable storage.

[octopus]

Not feeling it for the Nexus Q. A $299 streaming only device? A Roku box is like 1/3 of the cost...

Edit: http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/27/g...-in-the-u-s-a/

Apparently this is built in the US... no wonder it's expensive.

OMG Google+ Tablet App!
