iOS 6

I, personally, was disappointed by Apple's iOS 6 release. I felt the os needed an entire revamp. From what I know about android everything apple did could have been done with app downloads. To me that should have been more of an incremental update rather than a whole new OS version. Do you all agree or disagree. Please let me know your thoughts.

IB4 another lock!

Nope

Before lock, where is the iOS 6 changelog?

I didn't watch any livestream but from all the Twitter feeds, it wasn't promising much. Maps is probably the only thing that is good, but it's stupid iPad 3 getting Siri but not the other updated devices..

Im not bashing anything. I listened to the mods request and appropriately adjusted my discussion topic

We also have an iPhone specific site, and this thread would be more appropriately placed there...

Discussion is welcome as we're all tech nerds (to some extent), but if it turns into a flaming pit of trolls I'll have to step in.

Ugh your right
Oh well i am staying on my jailbroken 5.0 ipod touch and using android.
Androids updates are nice cause they add a lot of new features where as apple mainly fixes old crap.
Android FTW obviously

- Maps w/ Flyover = Looks great
- Turn-By-Turn = At last?
- Updated Siri = Don't care, but i guess it's fun for the kids
- FB and Twitter integration = Don't care
- Passbook = Guess it's usefull for people in the US
Overall a couple of nice tweaks but nothing major. Apart from the FB/Twitter integration and other system tweaks, they could easily pushed this OTA.

Nah, I wouldn't be, but then again I can afford to go and buy a newer model. Some people save for months to buy these things. I doubt you'd get much for a first-gen iPad on eBay now, especially after that announcement.

I purchased it from Dixons and not google directly. Does anyone know what happens to this credit?

Hopefully they take it back.

You do realize its meant to be a Kindle Fire killer right? Although personally, the iPad sucks compared to the Nexus 7.
Anyway, since its linked to your Google Account, you probably keep it.

GUYZ! WHY DOES THIS TABLET I BOUGHT FOR $200 NOT SEEM AS GOOD AS THE ONE I BOUGHT FOR 400????!!!?! I DON'T GET IT??!!
Seriously? Regardless I think this tablet is much better than any iPad I've used. (Maybe not the IPad 3). But still the software crushes.

Try to attach a file to an e-mail message on your iPad. LOL
I heard they are fixing this/catching up to the rest of the world in iOS 6, but FFS...you do two things in e-mail. Type message and send ****. Took Apple till 2012 to figure that out?
That's just one of about 500 issues as to why the iPad sucks worse than the G1 running Donut. Let's not even bring the Nexus 7 into the picture...that's just not fair for Apple.

Its all subjective my friend. I like the iPad a lot, but I also like the n7 a lot. Its a different type of like. They both have their own strengths and weaknesses. To me its Apples and Oranges.
Whoever called this an iPad killer, felt that a 7inch display is all they want and need in a tablet. Some people want that retina display and 10" screen for movies and photo editing. Some want the n7 for reading and browsing. Its all subjective and built for two different needs. For the money, I believe the n7 is great. A little problem here and there is common in almost all electronic devices.

I KNEW IT! I knew Apple was in the Android game. Look at them, doing what they do best. Taking everything in the world, and changing 2-3 letters, and making it their 'own'. Oh Apple, you so sneakz.
Inb4 Apple sues THL for making phones that look like other phones and do things other phones already do and then adds those things so their phone can do it too.
They patented copyright and patent-infingement, only Apple can duz that.

Technology Happy Life.
That's priceless. HTC should change their name to that.

I wonder if HTC or Samsung would go after them for these.

Lol, nice find.
The 'thL' logo even resembles that HTC logo from the bootloader.

No LTE

It's even funnier that you can buy them in bulk for a discounted price. LOL

274 for a 5 inch 1080p dual sim unlocked semi stock 4.2 android quad core clocked at 1.2ghz and micro sd? uhm honestly thats a great deal lol and it looks pretty good for the price imo

They're not once you realize that:
A. The CPU is actually terrible
B. The screen is awful despite being 1080p.
C. The software is buggy (even their screenshots have errors in the notification tray!)
D. You get essentially ZERO support from them, and in broken English!

Are all the reviews there shills?
If they aren't then these may not be half bad if you're ok with probably noisy pictures, 3G, a 2000 mAH battery (that's terrible for a 5") and pretty much (at least, I would expect) no support.
As for shipping, I found this
how much total cost i spend to receive this phone to my country and do you receive payment with paypal from indonesia?
Dear verdy,
Hello.
1.It will cost $11.6 by Register Air Mail .And the total is $261.59
2.You can pay with Paypal, Western Union/Credit card.
Thanks for your requirement.
Any other question, contact us any time.
Best regards!

This is for the W8+. Scroll down all the way on the devices main page for Q&A (some are quite amusing).

hey, for unlocked (decent) smartphone this is a freakin great deal. for someone who wasnt as big a phone geek as myself it would be an incredible device. i dont care how "bad" the proccessor is, dollars to value wise this is amazing. nice find.

[R.I.P.]Broken Grouper

Damn, i accidentally dropped on to the tile floor and landed on the corner... R.I.P. (2012-2013) my trusty N7. Now i am facing a new problem: a new tablet. I am tempted to buy an ipad as it may partially replace my laptop on certain school days. however the 32gb grouper is only $250 here, also a good buy. what should i do?

I will wait for the n7 refresh, who knows what Google will do in the next 2 months.
Beamed from my Maguro.

You can buy 32gb Groupers for $199 now since most places are lowering them, I guess, in preparation for the new model.
I have a brand new 32gb sitting in a box downstairs. I guess I'll sell both and buy a new one, if its worth it.

maybe you have to answer this;
- how the urgency of your need?
- if you buy Ipad, will it cover all your need?
if i were you i'll take N10 instead Ipad..

Because apple is better. NO. Because here in Australia good android tablets are as hard to find as it is easy to find iPads. There really aren't many choices things like n10 is just to complicated to obtain. That's why, if I am given a CHOICE, I will choose android every time, but here there isn't any choices.

Which iPad? The 4 is hardly a bad tablet-- I was thinking of trading in my iPad 3 (the performance bump from the 3 to the 4 is really quite nice), but ultimately didn't have time to go in today and the promotion is over. Honestly, I like it more than any of my Android tablets because the thing is rock solid no matter what, but I do a lot of my tinkering on my Android tabs so it's at least partially my fault.

I would wait and acquire the nexus 7 second generation.

Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app

Thought I'd join in on this discussion as I placed an order for a Nexus 5.
To be honest, the competition of the smartphones above is absolutely useless as each one has their own strength and weaknesses; why try to compare an apple to a orange? Sure they're both fruit, but I'm fairly confident most if not all users on xda will know the differences of the phones that merits the purchases.
Sure the Nokia has better camera, windows os, amoled display but the Nexus 5 has better CPU, bigger display and more. My point is that comparing these phones only serves the purpose of giving themselves false pride so that they can justify their investment in their phones. It should rather be the phone you buy that proves the investment, not you.
Hope I'm not derailing the thread or that I've got anything against the competition, but the comments on that site is just silly.
