Electronics Time again for a new phone - Page 27

**Dartgod** · 07-14-2013, 08:28 PM

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?

The Apple Live event has to be one of the biggest fails of all time. Way to go Apple.

Why? I'm just occasionally dipping into some liveblogs, so I'm not seeing what's going on live.

It's a disaster, #thingsbetterthanapplelive is trending world wide.

Somebody is getting fired.

Update at 1:30 p.m. ET: Livestream Is Fixed, Sort Of

After frustrating many users with a balky livefeed that stopped and started — and included real-time Chinese translation — Apple's streaming video of Tim Cook's keynote address has been mostly restored. The live video is available only on Apple software, we'll note — meaning that many people are monitoring the event through live blogs. Some problems are persisting, it seems.

I'll be preordering the 6... The plus just seems too big too me. I'm actually happy with the screen size on the 5.

Wife and I are trying to save money, so we just switched over to tmobile from verizon earlier this evening. I've been an iphone user for years and have been on iphone 5 the last year and a half. Decided to take a crack at android. I got the samsung avant, she got the galaxy light(again, we didn't splurge cuz we're on a budget and just wanted something that works). The Avant is actually a great phone so far for the price! Altogether over the next 24 months, we will be paying $13($9 for the avant, $4 for the galaxy light) a month just for the phones on top of the bill, so about $108 a month total when we were paying $160 for verizon. Overall very happy with our decision so far.

Should have sold your Packers stock so you could both get Nexus 5's. Oh wait!

I'm probably going Note 4 over IPhone 6. I'll wait for final reviews but I did this before, I owned the original IPhone, then I got the EVO4G, then got the 5.

I'm pre-ordering the iPhone 6 Plus tonight at midnight. I had the S5 for two weeks but didn't like it for some reason.

L.A. Chieffan · 09-12-2014, 08:52 AM

Stupid phone...already backordered a month for the plus...

DaveNull · 09-12-2014, 09:36 AM

Just go and stand in line if you really want it. They'll likely have some.

I hadn't planned on pre-ordering but the 4.7 size hadn't sold out so I went ahead and set it up for in-store pick up next Friday.

With the white stripes, I'll be naming this little guy Multipass.

L.A. Chieffan · 09-12-2014, 09:41 AM

i definitely dont want it

I got up at 1 AM and pre-ordered a 128GB iPhone 6. I don't dislike android but I'm tired of the fractured ecosystem and the carrier bloatware. Even running Cyanogen can be a crapshoot depending on the device.
