Just saw this and thought it was kinda funny.
Here is the list of devices apple sued samsung for and the amount of money samsung has to pay them.
Notice how our dear little 8.9 is absent!
So not a single of our spent pennies is going to apple

incase you didn't notice i'm joking.
this whole patent sh*t is totally ridiculus!
yeah... but apple is just sueing everyone... they havent actually invented anything sience their first pc-s and ipod... their OS is locked down like a ***** and if u even want bluetooth u have to pay... so... really... they should consider about sueing others.
but google started a lawsuit against apple, so we might be able to see some things happening.
Apple is just so damn afraid of losing their US market share
Ok, even if you take anything at face value on that list... please someone explain how the Galaxy Tab could be on that list? Some one thought that was an Ipad? wtf...

It surely violated the "rounded corners" patent, as well as some other design features Apple has "invented".
The hypocritical apple
The thing I don't understand is how can they be so successful with their lawsuits, yet be so hypocritical in their philosophy?
Steve Jobs - 1996 "We have always been shameless about stealing great ideas."
Steve Jobs - 2010 "I’m going to destroy Android, because it’s a stolen product"
So, in effect, it's perfectly fine for apple to steal someone else's ideas, but as soon as another company mimics their product, it is a crime against humanity...
They keep giving me reasons to never purchase one of their products...
I get really pissed if someone askes me do I have an I-pad... I don't really get apple... they are just scared of their market dropping... but thats not a reason to sue anybody....
Phew. My previous Galaxy Ace isn't going to be in Apple ‘s case.

Thanks, but no thanks. If I want Android 2.2, I'd get a HTC. If I want a working GPS, I'll never buy a Samsung. If I want an iPhone, I'll load the MIUI ROM, or just buy the danged iPhone.
'nuff said
/not flaming, am I?
Ehh, been screwed over by Samsung too many times... I don't use GPS too much, but I do like Froyo and updates on time.
You must be a company rep.
I can't imagine that a true XDA member openly recommend the Captivate. We have too many un-addressed issues.
He's not a Rep. Just a happy person who loves his phone theirs nothing wrong with that

Somehow, that is even worse... and iFanboi who loves a Samsung phone.
Didn't know someone will care about my post... =-D
Well, I'm really sorry if some of you guys think my opinion is false...
I will repeat that, "MY OPINION"!!!
I'm not saying anything about recommending to buy this phone,
So please don't kill me, since this is why I post this thing on "off-topic" section.
: In my opinion!
-Once you get good phone by going through exchange process, I think this phone is really handy...
it have good screen quality and fast enough to play any fun games on/off the market...
[[[ I wonder why same Samsung models have different functions? In Korea, where it's mainly creates phone or share the ideas, don't have any problem with the phone... But of course, it's expensive in Korea... There is no 1or2-year contract, which means they are selling it for original price! And that original price is double the amount of US original price. ]]]
+I'm happy that I can buy same model phone in US
Ill admit that I love my captivate. Samsung makes very high quality phones. However, their software isn't worth sh!+. That's why I'm at XDA. If it wasn't for my crappy software, I'd never be a member. Considering I joined when I had an HTC phone that goes for them as well. My captivate just needs cyanogenmod. I've missed that since I destroyed my HTC phone.

For many people there are no reasons to like apple better. Many people feel that apple is nothing special, and just simply a tightly controlled mass marketed overhyped company If you want a more indepth answer, I would suggest searching some of the previous debate threads as this has been argued about so many times, the horse is now a bloody pulpy goo smearing the ground.

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.

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

I read the guys convo with the shcammer and I have one and only one final conclusion.
Apple not only makes people stupid, but also broke. This guy just bought a brand new iPhone and now he's selling it? Why? because he jumped the gun and made himself poor lol, and then these stupid iPhone users have the nerve to call us android users "poor" people who cant afford iPhone's... really?

I don't think you understand it. He bought it with the intention to resell it. Pay 500, sell for 1300. He might be poor but he knows how to make money.
To the oP. Great read. I always try to play around with the scammers when I sell **** on cl but they usually just stop replying to me.
So I can write whatever I want here?
You put the maps in the wrong place. They shouldn't have been able to find their way to the screen.

What's that saying about honey, vinegar and bees
not sure why we should care about this.
if you wanted svdo then why buy an s4? the specs were released at least a month in advance.
man.. i really wish i had a custom SGS4 with my avatar on it....
i figure if samsung is watching then i might as well ask
I thought manufactures aren't supposed to post/monitor these sites. Although I'm sure they very well due, I swear I heard that a long time ago. Either way, too funny

I think its great they would reach out to someone like that. Of course its something they have no control over... when its a real bug we never hear anything.

I'm sure they monitor them, but it's not smart for them to post on them as they get ripped by someone no matter what they say. Kind of like the example in the OP above. I'm betting that support person will not be reaching out to anyone again anytime soon!
Its a shame really, they used to have developer relations and tried to reach out to the community with samsungjohn. however its just too much for one person and needs a whole team, we had kernel sources, responses from samsung and just a better connection with them.
its when samsung really took off in the rooting community.
I really miss this feature from the sgs3. It's too bad they cheaped out on us

If Sprint's LTE was anywhere as robust as their 3G (which in itself is not saying much) then this would not be much of an issue, but it's not.
Sometimes you wonder why they make such bone-headed decisions. Why couldn't they just leave the SVDO support in there. I doubt they can point to some incompatibility issue with anything like CPU or SoC or physical design etc..
OP is funny?
SVDO exclusion is almost certainly a Sprint decision, as no other phone besides the s3 and ltevo had it, or will have it.
And referencing T-mobile LTE? really? Missed that announcement where their LTE network is magically complete
