Otter box is good, j fucking Christ I can't tell you how many times I've dropped my phone. Shit just bounces or you heard the thud of the rubber absorbing the fall

I just wanted to second this, Otterbox cases are amazing, and the company is really good with their customer service. I have one for my incredible, and when the snap pieces on the hard plastic portion broke off, I sent them an e-mail about it. All they asked for was my address and they sent me a new case express mail, no questions asked. Of course it broke a second time about 8 months later, and again, they sent me one express with no issue.

I looked a a rooting guide and shit seems like a huge pain in the ass. Like 30 steps in all.

But now I can't even change my phone's font (which I pretty much need to do considering the kanjis are all over the place). lol even browsing files is behind an app. but I still cba to root.

For everyone asking, just keep in mind Otterbox cases will nearly triple the width of the phone. They're tanks.

How is LG in terms of rom support from the community? I was checking out the spectrum today, but from a couple unboxing vids I'm pretty sure I'm going to dislike the UI. I'm sure they will get ICS to it, but I'd like it to be more like galnex-ICS w/o the crap.

When it comes to Android devices; non-Google (Nexus) branded phones don't hold their value well.

[Salodin]

Still though, free - $50 bucks on a phone that is not even close to a year old is...jarring...

[Kurokikaze]

Thats of course for new two year contracts. It's crazy but they do shit like that often. People pay more than thats worth over the duration of that contract.

[Salodin]

Are there even separate prices for people who don't buy subsidized phones?

yes there are, they almost always go for 550+(nexus ones are like 650 lol)

[Salodin]

Im talking about coverage prices. If you're going to be paying the same whether the phone is subsidized or not, might as well get the discount.

And just as I say that... Amazon selling GNex for $99 for new customers (Verizon ONLY). http://www.droid-life.com/2012/01/26...new-customers/

oops wrong thread

Been looking just to make sure gnex is still the right phone to get. Gonna try to hold out for another week or 2 in hopes of a price drop. The verizon site says I can get it for 269, but I'd really like to see 200 or less. We'll see if the willpower can handle it.
