“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....;"

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

Getting the phone lodged inside of you and having X-rays of it for the whole world to see:
Priceless!

or

"hummm....now where did i see my phone last?

i also think it could be a new xda logo and slogan

or
"a prime example of misinterpreting HardSPL"

Funny ones so far. I like the idea of this being used as an advert. How about...
"Our new A-GPS function means you can always get a signal, no matter where your phone is."
John was beginning to regret asking on 4chan for help with his new phone...
HTC's new hands free interface........answer your phone by squeezing your asscheeks
Also comes in a women's model..................................well you can figure it out

Basically, Motorola has the chance to ban All New Xbox360s in the US and with Microsoft being a patent troll, I'd love to see turnabout be fair play.

I can see the 11 year old CoD players raging now.
On a serious note, have fun. I'd honestly be shocked if Motorola pulled this one out. For a company with such a history and such integrity, they have the business sense of a low-level pyramid-schemer and are completely unaware of what their customers want.

Hmm its possible in Germany too. The banning of all Xbox 360s, and Windows 7 PCs.
None of it is fair though. There should be limit on this stuff.

Guess you don't know that Microsoft is already doing the same thing to Moto over phone technology and is likely to keep Moto from being able to import a number of their new phones.
Turn about is fair play and as of now this is the only way to fight back. If you want to blame someone blame the patent system for not properly enforcing intellectual property rights in the first place and for granting patents that shouldn't be allowed as well. The system is screwed up and this is the result.
This is how tech company's derp around....
Motorola I'm very disappointed in you for trolling around, especially since google is controlling you.
Motorola = derp face

You go moto!
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.

How happy, a phone that is not made in China, didn't believe it at the beginning, but that makes it a little but of special :thumbup:

Mic?
I don't really care if my device is made in Korea or China, these are advanced tech facilities that make nearly everything, not a whole lot to worry about.
Is this thread really necessary? *facepalm*
Sent from my Galaxy Note 8.0
WTF?
This thread is a waste of space here on xda.
If I was a moderator I will close this right now!
And what is wrong with phones made in China?
The nexus 4 is modular so the only thing for sure is that it's assembled in Korea but every component should be made in any place.
But I agree with the rest of you; what's is wrong with Chinese made phones? There are some really impressive Chinese made phones (Jiayu, Meizu, Oppo, etc) and MTK processors are good enough for smartphones...
The technology you know about in China only scratches the surface. You should try living here

Lol.. China or Korea for me is the same ) Quality build is matter
I don't care where it's made. I support my Country, Canada, but I'm not going to slam China for making one of the best Nexus' I've had. Not classy dude.
