Petition Urging Verizon to Drop Contracts Nears 100,000 Signatures
Replying to kevoizjawesome · I already don't have a contract with Verizon. It's called month to month. I just don't get discounted phones anymore, which I think it a fair trade. Their prices for service though…
You pay for subsidization of the phone, but don't get the benefit of the phone. How much is your monthly bill? I'm on the new T-Mobile plan. I have unlimited everything, with LTE, for $69/month. Plus, they sold me the Note 2 for $500. So I get a little subsidization, much cheaper…

Replying to DangJuice · It sounds like you are misinformed with how Android is updated. To sum it up, Google releases the update, the manufacturers receive it and must tweak it (to work with hardware) + a…
Sure, I get it. I know I'll have to wait longer for the updates. T-Mobile usually takes a while too. I don't really mind it. I used to, when the Android versions were coming out with new features and getting smoother. Now I am pretty happy with 4.1.2, and don't see myself constan…

Replying to DangJuice · Your Note 2 will still be waiting on T-Mobile to approve any updates sent to them by Samsung. The international Note 2 will get those updates straight to them. Who cares about auto…
True, but I could update manually using the Samsung Kies program. I did it with Galaxy S2. I don't plan on using anyone but T-mobile for a while, so I am ok with it. Android 4.1.2 is damn smooth, so I am not constantly looking for latest version like I used to.

God dammit, I have a 400gig data cap and I didn't even know it!
'Stop the bullshit' says T-Mobile CEO
Replying to DangJuice · It's still a carrier-branded Note 2 unfortunately. If you're paying that much for T-Mobile branding and bloatware apps, you might as well get the unlocked and unbloated phone.
I can unlock it by making a call to T-mobile any time I want, and the new versions of Android allow you disable built in apps from the Applications section. Also, I get automatic updates and the ability to use HSPA+ and LTE at the same time depending on what is in the area I'm in…

That's not true. I've never seen a cap, nor have I ever heard of one in the US. Who are you referring to?

Replying to blorg · Cambodia at the moment, although you can get not that much more expensive data plans in much of (developed) Europe. It's one of the things that you are really being ripped off on i…
Yeah, we have a lot of reasonably priced goods and services. Cable TV, internet, and phone services are not part of that. At least we don't have data caps on our internet like Australia and South Africa do. America likes everything unlimited, haha.

Replying to blorg · Not denying it is a good deal, it is. It's just not *that* much cheaper than you can actually just buy the phone outright, and T Mobile keep you (most likely) for another two years…
Where do you live? Korea maybe? Unlimited plans on the other carriers in the US are $110-$130/month. $70 is dirt cheap here, especially since they just rolled out LTE today. I just got 30Mbps down and 19Mbps up at the sushi restaurant! It's faster than my home internet. I wish th…

Replying to blorg · Note 2 is around $550 here unlocked, no contracts, probably lower if you bargain.
So $500 with no contract and no interest financing was a good deal?
'Stop the bullshit' says T-Mobile CEO
Replying to Stevekixs · That's because he's on a grandfathered plan and he has the cheaper Web. If he had apples to apples what you have he would be paying much more per month. But that is a good price …
Yeah, that makes sense now. He renewed his grandfathered plan for 2 years and they subsidized the phone. I could have done the same thing I believe, but I would have payed around $120/month for the plan, plus a new 2 year contract. I chose the new no contract plan and separate ph…

Replying to the_ancient1 · Not really, Sound like Teloria Reupped on a new 2yr contract before Tmo dropped the contracts, $180-$200 was the standard contract price for a reup on a 2yr lockin you have no…
Yeah, that's true. I would not have been able to get the phone deal he did with the $69/month unlimited everything plan I got. I think my deal was pretty good.

Replying to FockerFGAA · What they are saying is the phone could have been had for 180, but instead you paid one hundred up front and then another four hundred. So you paid four hundred to finance eighty w…
No, this guy got a damn good deal using a grandfathered plan and some haggling with customer retention. I paid $500 for a $650 phone, and amortized $400 of that over 20 months with zero interest. I pay $89 per month with the cost of the phone in there for a new Note 2 with unlimi…

Replying to Will7357 · But did you get the Note 2?
Very funny. Yes my wording was redundant. I did not even notice.
'Stop the bullshit' says T-Mobile CEO
Replying to Teloria · Yep, that's exactly what I did. Like I said, it took a second call to customer service, some manipulation to my grandfathered in 4+ year old rate plan (I don't need minutes, so do…
Damn, good job. I use my phone for business, so I need the unlimited. Plus, today T-mobile rolled out LTE here in Phoenix, so I'm going to be using my unlimited data for sure. I just ran a speed test and got almost 22Mbps! [Pic1](http://i.imgur.com/rPipuxL.png) [Pic2](http://i.im…

Replying to Teloria · I paid $179, with no $20/mo BS tacked on. (So ... compared to your $99 + $400) And my bill went down. I can't explain the awesome promotion they threw at me with any thing except…
Holy shit! So you paid $179 total for the Note 2? That's a damn good deal! EDIT: I reread it and you already told me. Damn, I thought my deal was pretty good. You lucked out. I had to go all the way to customer retention to get mine approved. So my total with the $20/month is $90…

Replying to Teloria · Oh no. You fell for the $20/mo thing. The first rep offered me that, but I had done the math and realized it was a worse deal that paying their undiscounted upgrade fee (which at…
What are you saying? You got the Note 2 for cheaper somehow? I payed $99 out of pocket. The $20/month is just free financing.
'Stop the bullshit' says T-Mobile CEO
Replying to GTDesperado · It's not even financed, really. At the end of the two years, your bill still stays the same.
Not anymore with T-Mobile. Also, they did subsidize part of my phone. I called them up and told them I wanted the Galaxy Note 2, but I was not going to pay full price. I've been a customer with them for 8 years, and I told them that would continue if the acquiesced to my request.…
Instagram loses 25% of its users
Replying to entangledphysx · God I hate instagram. Everyone I know of facebook wants to put a stupid instagram filter on their pictures. Lo-fi, grainy, shitty colors. wtf. I hate it so bad.
I'll be honest, some of my friends on Facebook look much better through a filter. It softens the sometimes harsh genetic realities.

Apple responds to iPhone 5 scuffs, says scratches and chips are ‘normal’
Replying to DeFex · Titanum is stronger and cooler in every way, and scratches can be gotten rid of easy if it's a brushed finish. It would last too long though, apple wouldn't like that.
I agree, titanium would be optimal for this use.

Magnesium alloy is stronger and lighter. However, it's probably not as cheap.
White House Goes Too Far In Asking Google To Pull Controversial Video
Replying to sophware · I get that people think so. I'd like to understand more why (besides purely emotional reasons). They have already condemned the video. It's good for them to look for stronger ways…
Well that's all this is about, purely emotional responses. They don't *have* to ask to take it down. However, Islamic leaders would be given more fuel to say that they were not serious with their condemnation if they didn't. Will it make a bit of difference in the extremist's eye…
White House Goes Too Far In Asking Google To Pull Controversial Video
Replying to sophware · I'm dying for some rational justification of why it's OK for the White House to try to censor something, as ugly as it is.
The White House has to at least ask for it to be taken down, so they look like they are condemning it. They are not going to force it to be taken down, but they have to at least ask. It's the responsible thing to do, even if they know Google will say no.
