I bet most, depending on how you define affordable.
Mine is a grandfathered Verizon plan. T-mobile covers probably 80% of US residents with either very fast 3G HSDPA+ or LTE. There will always be corner cases, but so far it seems a good solution for most.
The real reason is lack of interest. No nuclear power plant has been built without government funds or loans. The payback time is long and the returns relatively low. There really has no been a big commercial push for building these power plants. Natural gas on the other hand has seen lots of private growth.
I don't have a cap, I have unlimited LTE. Netflix will not cache a video that way, as I understand it. I have also ripped movies from disk. Again with handbrake set to reasonable settings the space is not an issue.
I don't actually watch video on the device that often. I normally play games or listen to music.
I was referring to Windows RT, that you mentioned. Windows on smartphones and tablets is not really selling.
I have huge games on my phone, I use netflix for the other stuff.
No one buys phones with that operating system. I think most people would at least mention to the sales drone that they will keep entire TV series on the device, so he will steer them towards the larger model. I am not even filling 16GB so that size would have been fine for me. I have music, pictures and lots of games.
I don't work that hard, I worked harder in lower paying jobs. I am happy with what I make, I don't mind paying taxes for society, I do mind the implication that I am not rich just because I am lazy.
If they took more as you made more that would be fine, but it appears that once you make enough they take less. Look at capital gains vs income rates for the clearest evidence of that.
No they will not be more likely to take care of him. A civilization should be judged by how it treats the least of its people. A famous man once said something like that.
I am not a pessimist, just a realist. I know reality is a touchy subject for you.
Bluetooth keyboards work with android. I am not sure what intelligent sound management is, but total user control exists in the android world. I have built my own OS and booted it before, can't get much more control than that.
Many smartphones these days have infrared and either USB host or USB on the GO. FM transmitters are going away as bluetooth is getting to be darn near everywhere. If you really want one you can get a cigarette outlet one cheap.
There are lots of not locked down appliances out there. Get a Nexus .
I have had to hard reset both iPhones and iPods, you hold two buttons down. Same thing as battery removal. Just with removable batteries those folks don't bother to learn the hard reset keys.
I will be switching to T-mobile or an MVNO for that reason and others when my current VZW contract ends. VZW has lost my business for the next several years at least. As far as I can tell they do not care.

Steam is available on Linux. Wine works fairly well also.
Believe it or not, some folks do game on Linux.
Totally False.

You can always force the correct mode, assuming you are not running windows.
Modifying xorg to deal with lack of DID is pretty normal.

I have not had problems with the Nvidia blobs in a long time.
I can't wait until intel graphics is good enough, too bad that will mean I stop buying AMD cpus, but that is life.

I am thinking it is far more likely that a Nexus 4+ will be released with LTE very soon.
There is an LTE modem inside the current Nexus 4, but it is not wired up to an antenna, so I have no idea how you would enable that.
On welfare you would have a lot less.

Shill?
The same rig that has the Nvidia card is running an AMD cpu. I would love to make it all AMD, but their linux drivers blow last I tried.
Even run them in linux?
The AMD drivers are crashy crap last I tried.
Since AMD drivers are total garbage, why bother?
Might as well stick with a card I can actually use.
It works.
It plays video, what more do you want?
There is even an ubuntu ppa if you need hand holding.
Private charity simply is not pletiful enough.
Just admit it, you would rather the people you see as your lessors die in a gutter than pay any taxes.

I think worst coverage belongs to much smaller players. It also depends on where you live, it is much better on the coasts than in flyover country.
If they can also make it not take up half the screen too. Not sure how you would see it though.
I would kill for a real successor to the D1. That means 1080p screen, unlocked boot loader, stock android, and hardware keyboard.
That is exactly how it has always been.
Why does that surprise you?
This is why some people don't believe the hard work will make you wealthy lie.

Swype totally sucks for CLI interaction.
I wish I could find a keyboard case for the Galaxy Nexus.
Define more useful.
What exactly is a Nexus4 missing?
You do know you can run a linux chroot on any android phone right?
I have had to hard reset both iPhones and iPods, you hold two buttons down. Same thing as battery removal. Just with removable batteries those folks don't bother to learn the hard reset keys.
Most people don't need the feature. Most people will never fill up the local 32GB. What are you keeping on your damn phone?
The antenna is missing and I bet they did not pay license fees for the radio on the SOC. That means the radio is there, but they can not turn it on.
It does with T-mobile.
I will be switching to T-mobile or an MVNO for that reason and others when my current VZW contract ends. VZW has lost my business for the next several years at least. As far as I can tell they do not care.
