Time again for a new phone
So I'm eligible to upgrade my cell phone again August 1st. I currently have a Samsung Galaxy S2 through Sprint and was ready to get the S4. Now I see that LG is set to release their Optimus G2 sometime in August.
http://www.engadget.com/2013/07/09/lg-optimus-g2-leak/ I've never considered LG, but I'm intrigued by what I've read. Has anyone else looked at this and is it worth waiting another month or so for the LG? Also, does anyone in the KC area have any experience with Sprint's LTE 4G? Is coverage still spotty? |

Another phone to look at is the Oppo Find 7, which also comes with a removable battery. Not sure how much support you would get if you bought one in the US, though. But there is a model that specifically supports US LTE.

Anyone know the size difference between HTC ONE and S5? Anything bigger than S3 is a deal breaker.

Galaxy S4 = 5.38 x 2.75 x 0.31 in Galaxy S5 = 5.59 x 2.85 x 0.32 in HTC One (M8) = 5.76 x 2.78 x 0.37 in Less than half an inch taller and virtually identical width and depth. So basically S3 size (except slightly taller for the HTC One) |

Even Sony, who have some of the biggest bezels in the industry, managed to fit their 5.2" Z2 in the same body size as the M8. |

Great phone, great price, but that model doesn't support US frequencies. I just don't see the purpose of spending that much money on a phone to be stuck in the world of 3G. If I'm spending that much coin on a phone I want to be able to use the best currently available, otherwise I'd save the money and get a Moto G or something.

In the description he puts carrier Verizon. Verizon phones are unlocked. So either A: he doesn't know what he's talking about and just pulled some template eBay unlocked bullshit or B: he's lying. I'm gonna go with A

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Mint-Samsung-...-/281289865723 That item description of theirs looks awfully familiar. Except this time they actually use a SM-9005 template. I'd find it hard to believe that they just pulled some random eBay template |

And there's a metric ton of apps on iOS that are free, although the best apps are usually pay (or IAP). |
