Bought an iPhone today - Off-topic

Lord help me....
No, it's not for me, I'm being nice, sister wanted on my family plan and she just HAD TO HAVE THE IPHONE. LIKE OMG!
/sigh
I tried to talk her into a $10 Evo Design from Amazon wireless, nah, let's spend money...we're only doing this to save money right?
Can't say I ever foresaw an iPhone entering my phone plan.

I dont blame her. I wouldnt choose an Evo Design over an Iphone either and i have an Epic Touch 4G

I tried Evo D, Evo3D, SGSII, Nex S, and Arrive, all were cheaper. Alwell, just still in shock that I bought what I bought today.

Why not tell her "my plan my choice of phone. Don't like it? get your own plan." Either way she would have stopped nagging and you would not be supporting apple

Well what a sweet brother you are.
Hope you at least get birthday or xmas gift credit for it.

Yikes... I live with 3 people using iPhones, and I hate it. I was offered one, but I stuck with my EVO 4g

Glad to see my Anti-Apple Brethens here!

I say you return it and get her a pay as you go samsung slider with a qwerty keyboard and 1" display. Girls gotta earn an i phone.

iphone is not all bad...i had a htc mozart and nw have a op. bl and iphone 4s.
each and every OS platform has something good and unique to offer. we got 2 see the good part of the OS that the manufacturers wanted 2 show us.

It goes like this.
Imagine that you dont know anything about mobile phones and stuff and you see someone walking around you with an iPhone.
Now imagine someone walking around you with HTC Evo..
And to be honest, my head would turn to the guy/girl with an iPhone.. Apple has it
Apple is a style, any other mobile phones have a great platform, great OS and stuff..

Hello XDA :)

Hey everyone, Just hopped on board after long time of using the forums, figured I might as well start posting and learning more and more.
My name is Kris, and it all started for me on the original android phone (G1) and now am upgraded to the G2
I also work in mobile sales.
I'll post pictures of screens, and more detailed backround when I hit my limit...

Okay so more about me now
I'm from Cincinnati, OH, always had a love for electronics, gaming, mma, and cars.
We'll start with the electronics, I am currently using the temp rooted overclocked HTC Vision :G2 and am loving every second of it.
I play a ton of xbox 360 (COD, Halo, UFC) also have a modded console, and such.

had 7 of them for a while, bought broken ones and fixed them, had a Jtag also.
And onto cars, I had my dream car, but wasn't the right time to own it, so I sold it. I am currently just driving around a 05 civc.

Hope this all works out for a better introduction. Like I said, I hope to stay an active member, as I'd really like to know how to create apps and such.
That is the best introduction i have ever seen!!!
I my self are a xbox 360 fixing enthusiast!
I got a premium for free not reading discs and it only cost me £40 for a new drive!
then i got an elite for free with rrod, but i couldn't fix it. So i got £26.09 when i sold it on eBay.
So i bought a Ps3 off eBay that didn't read discs and that come to a total of £118, and they are about £160 second hand.
Anyway, nice supra!
Thanks man, I really tried to wait until I could kinda show everything, besides just talking about it. If anyone ever really needs me, I'll probably be hanging out in the G2 section, until I get put on a concession line and get the incredible, and Evo

Tax Time

Only once a year it comes around. For me it means a new phone, I don't really care about the cost because its a yearly thing. So the question is what kind of phone to buy. I'm bound to a sim card so it's most likely going to be a T-Mobile phone. K so the question is what to buy I was thinking about a Nexus-s or a Droid 2 global because they both have Sims. Any idea's? I'm looking for power, speed, flexibility (rooting) and looks. I'm still rocking a good old g1 but I'm a little obsessed with (ORD) obsessive rom disorder.. some of you can relate.

Patience is a virtue that I have virtually none. But I love my Desire soooooo much that I'll not give it up. Except maybe for a Meizu M9. Anyone has it here?
It looks nice

My GF's in freezing, fouled-up Beijing. I'm advising her to get the Meizu M9 if she insists on an Android... Company owes her some relocation cash and she's running out of ideas on how to spend it.
I'll stick to the Desire until they manage to root the Meizu

Another reason to hate Apple

“Apple Store In Georgia Refuses To Sell iPad, iPhone To Farsi-Speaking Customer, Citing Company Policy;
A 19-year-old woman in Alpharetta, Ga., claims that her local Apple store refused to sell her anything after she was heard speaking Farsi with her uncle while she was trying to buy an iPhone and iPad....;"
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mobil...efuses-to-sell-ipad-to-iranian_n_1609734.html
That is ridiculous. As a result of sanctions, we in Iran don't have access to the Google Play Store as well as the Apple App Store. But at least, Google knows it has a huge market in Iran and tries to keep the Iranian customers happy, by officially adding Persian to Android 4.0+, they have an official Persian blog, and still a lot of their services are available to Iranians. But not selling your product to someone who spoke Persian, is just plain redundant and racist.
I hated Apple, but now my hate free deeper. A LOT deeper...
Let me know what you think.

Hey sir! Calm down! Take a deep breath and quit yer crying about Apple! Enough of this I hate apple so I am going to start a thread stuff! Please! I'm not trying to be mean, but OT is going to get clogged with this. I don't wanna hurt anyone's feelings, its just we android people know how bad apple is, and we don't need another reason. Thank you if you listened and sorry if I spoiler the mood, but I REALLY wanted to put that out there

CES 2013

Just got my CES ticket! Totally psyched.
Anyone else going?
If no, i'll happily cover the event for you guys =D
If yes, how about a meetup? Would be epic to meet some of you guys.
no-one, huh? :/
A coverage of the event would do for me. Thanks.
||I'm just a PM away for help||
Oh it would only cost me about 5000 euros to go there. No biggy, I have a few flecks of dust in an old sock somewhere....
A coverage will do just fine.
Yeah, I lucked out by registering early enough that the tickets were free. The drive from SoCal to Vegas just isn't that bad, and my uncle LOVES Vegas so I was able to 'borrow' some of his 'frequent hotel miles ' (whatever they're actually called ) so its really cheap.
Sadly I'm fairly hard up for money, so I (probably) can't afford a decent camera.... Hopefully I'll be getting a galaxy note ii by then tho, and I plan on just switching on Google+ instant upload for my pictures so anyone who's interested can check it out.
Now what I really want is a galaxy camera, but I think that's asking for a bit much.
Trying to get a new phone for the event..... Saving up for a Note II...
Figured I'd bump this.....
Is no one else going? :/
How much are the tickets? And how'd you get it for free?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
If you register early enough they're free. I registered as soon as registration opened. They get progressively more expensive as time goes by though, so that means that if tickets are even still available they're gonna cost an arm and a leg.
Ill check how much they cost now (if they're still available) when I get home.
