That is actually a pretty good idea, if I happen to get a phone with crap battery life. Still not going to keep flaming hot Cheeto dust off my screen though! Wish this damn nexus 5 would come out already!

Does anyone actually need a $500+ cell phone?

We really only NEED food, water, and shelter from the elements and animals such as lions and dinosaurs. Super phones are just cool. No different from getting a $50,000 Chevy when a used Hyundai will get you where you need to go.

For a lot of people I know, yes.

Seriously. What the **** is the point of a curved RIGID display?

Say hello to the idiotic Galaxy Round.

Huh. Can't say I'm very intrigued by that.

If it was FLEXIBLE that would be badass.. but adding a curve to a rigid display seems ridiculous.

Why on Earth would someone want a phone shaped like that? Just so it can flop around on every flat surface you put it on?

Exactly what i was thinking. They say it conforms better to people's faces.. but what the hell? Do you know anyone with a massive curve like that on the SIDE of their head? Just weird.

so it fits better on their buttcheek. It amazes me how many kids put their phone in their back pocket and sit on it.

Samsung's entire design process is:

1. Look at rumors of what its competitors are planning.
2. Release it first in some shitty way.
3. Wait for someone else to release a better product.
4. Copy them.

They've been doing this shit for ages.

So I'm thinking of switching to an iPhone. All I really use my phone for is phone calls, browsing the internet, and downloading podcasts.

I also have a Bose Sounddock with the Lightning Connector, so it would make my audio entertainment a lot easier I think. Unfortunately, my iPod nano with the lightning connector cannot connect to Pandora.

I'm waiting for the nexus five I've decided. I have my unlimited data for 30/month still through verizon, so the upgrade option is a little more expensive. I was leaning toward the G2 but the new price point of the nexus 5 for practically the same hardware plus new android os? hawt.

I've decided to wait for the nexus five, as well. I've been doing a lot of digging through tech sites and boards and whatnot, and it seems like the five might not be well supported by Verizon. Who knows, I just wanted to pass that along.

Huh. Well I guess we'll see here shortly. It's rumored to be released on the 15th.
