Picked up an HTC One X over the weekend. It was a hard decision between that and the GS3, but upon discovering HTC dropped the One X's price to $100 (with contract), I had to bite on that.

The camera is the deal-maker for this phone. And the fact that I can get it in black.

DO NOT like the "switch apps" button. Seems useless to me and makes me miss the "menu" button. Rooting can fix that, and I will root. Yes.

So I bought the Droid Bionic last October. First internet phone, and 10 months later I only use it for calls, texts, checking weather every now and then, some email and Facebook.

I havent download an app since the first week I bought it. Is there a website, or blog, or something that gives good suggestions on quality apps and how to use them effectively in everyday life? I feel like this phone could do so much more than I allow it to, but the app store is not really friendly with searching for apps that I dont know I need or dont realize exist.

You get me?

Trying to figure out what phone I want next. I'm due for an upgrade and I really like the Samsung Galaxy S3 or the Iphone 4s. I just hate how huge the S3 is. Any other Android phone that competes with the Iphone?

Galaxy S3 isn't that much bigger than the infuse.... The screen size is pretty close to the edge....

i think its worth it. Makes going through forums a lot easier. Although they dont have every forum on it. plus the app isn't that expensive.

im going from att to verizon in a month or so. Gpoing to go with the Samsung S3 i had a chance to mes with ont and i honestly dont think verizon has any other phone i like. Kinda shitty im up for my upgrade on att and wanted the Samsung Note having. Going from HTC phone for the last 4 years to a Samsung is going to be a change.


If anyone knows of a phone that is better than the S3 please le me know.

s3 is overkill with current market offerings anyways. s2/note and other "last year" phones ar ejust as good in real world use other than the screen resolution.

If anyone needs a app to play streams try Serve Stream. Its super light weight and not bloated. It does various types of streams (local LAN/Internet), I'm using it to play about 25 different radio stations worldwide that where broadcasting with a shoutcast server. Just plug the URL of your favorite stream and enjoy!

Looking at the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0). The Nexus 7 lost my interest because of the lack of SD port. Any other 7" tablets I should be looking at?

Looking for input.

My contract with AT&T has been up for a few months and I'm just not feeling the iPhone 5. With the exploding screen sizes of rival android phones I had really hoped it would be - "slightly" larger and instead it's only "technically" larger.

I don't really care about Siri or Apps - so I guess that all mute.

I'm right now looking at the Galaxy S3 - which is "slightly" larger then the iPhone, but I was unimpressed with the brightness and picture. I also fear that in 3 months it will be "free with new Verizon plan" and my ~$150 phone won't be worth a damn - hell the S4 is due out in April. My iPhone 4 is at least worth $150-200, which is what I originally paid for it two years ago.

Then I saw the Note II - JESUS H CHRIST.

I love the screen. Even though it's technically not as finite as the GS3, it looks better side by side. It's just so awesome having so much visual real-estate. With my usage being 35% Music, 60% Internet and 5% talk, I'm not to worried about apps and how chunky it is to talk on.

What i do fear is how hard it will be to use one-handed. I've only recently become aware of how much one-handed surfing I do on my iPhone. With the phones at AT&T and Bestbuy being strapped down, it's hard to get a feel for what it would be like on the Note 2.

So before I jump ship - a few quick Android questions -

1. I'm told iPhone 5's can use LTE/4G on all networks while Android is locked to the parent network only - if your out of town, you are on 3G.

2. Does AT&T have a legit "30 day return" policy, so that if in 5 days I find I hate the Note 2 I can trade it back for a GS3 or iPhone 5

3. Text HIstory and Contacts, is this transferable from iPhone to Android

4. Can I expect a Note 2 to be worth anything in two years?

5. Music, do Android phones sync to USB Car Stereos the same way? I run Pioneer heads, 3 variants (two are Scions units). Can I get Mini-USB - RCA cords? Are there adaptors to run this thing on a iPhone dock stereo?

Thanks

Recently got the Nexus 10. Great tablet, but I'm urked there are no OEM accessories. I was hoping for at least a flip cover. :/


There is more than one version of the iPhone 5 as each carrier will have a different band for their 4G network. 4G on an Android device is similar, in the sense that if the device was not designed for the 4G, then it won't have 4G. My current phone is the Galaxy Nexus on VZW and I get 4G service wherever I traffic in the U.S. it's not specific to just my home town.

This is a question best answered by an AT&T rep, however I'm sure they will honor that return policy and try to keep you with another device.

I'm not too sure if iTunes has an export feature, but if it does and you can export your contacts to a .csv file then you can import them to your GMail account. Another method is to have GMail on the iPhone and add your contacts with your GMail address book.

Anything? Absolutely....just don't expect $150+ though.

From my personal experience, I can only get the phone to read as a USB drive with the car stereo. There are no adapters or native controls that you would see with an iPhone/iPod.

The Note 2 is awesome. Battery life is more than double that of my last phone (Sprint Evo 4G). I was able to get used to the size of it quickly, but it is slippery and awkward to hold when using it as an actual phone.
I would doubt that you will be able to sell the Note for what an iphone goes for 2 years down the road. Apple just has such a cult following and people are willing to pay what I would consider an unreasonable amount for them.

Corbic

Picked up the Note 2. Fantastic!!!

The customisation s are a little overwhelming at first but over all its a wicked phone.

I'm pissed however because it charges off my pioneer but won't play music! ! I'll have to do some research.

S14DB

Note 3 coming soon... 2013

Why can't I find pictures of anyone holding it to their face to use it as a phone. I felt like a two year old playing with a toy phone at the store. Seems like you would need a Bluetooth headset with it.

The weight is the same as a iPhone 4. Given tge size anf battery life im suprized its as light as it is.

yokotas13

given the current technology and the iphone 5 is larger, faster, and better thant he 4s...and is lighter....

dont understand the note weight.

It is almost not a noticeable difference between the note 2 and s3 in weight. Seriously, it is lighter than my old evo 4g.
