Ha ha ha. Hey, stupid. I just got around to bothering to check your links. Have you even read them? In all of them I'm owning you and getting modded up while you are sitting at 0 and -1. What a jackass. That's your problem Alexander. You don't check your work. That's why you are the host file and secunia "troll". When people fact check you you're always wrong. That must do terrible things to your psyche.
Kowalski, the fact that you spend so much time "proving" you're not hairy feet is what is so amazing. Listen, Alexander, I know who you are and what you are. You are the author of probably 50 AC posts in the last couple of days howing what a crazed lunatic you are. You are the person that manipulates this sites posting limits and then brags about it like you are some kind of leet haxor when you are just recycling proxies. Those limits are there for a reason to keep fucks like you from ruining the message board. But you are a bonafide sociopath Alexander and so the rules don't apply to you. You are a sad pathetic little man who lives on his computer while people like me have normal lives in the real world and laugh at little fucks like you. Now reply with 3 different AC posts pretending to be 4 different people so I can laugh and mock you some more.
You're rich, Kowalski. The infamous host file troll calling somebody else crazy. Funny stuff. I must have really gotten under your skin loony. This is so much fun, Alexander. And who do you think you're kidding pretending to be multiple people? But then for you that just comes naturally. You are a nut case. Fucking nuts. Take some meds.
i.e. you have no counter argument. If there's any delusion, it's yours
Actually your talking points have been so thoroughly debunked ad nauseum that I let my sibling have it this time. Don't think so highly of yourself. your arguments aren't new. You didn't think of any of it and better men than you that actually did come up with that stuff have already been slapped down. Now go lick your wounds and hunt around on hacker news and engadget for a new playbook.
Doesn't Metro have a nationwide roaming agreement with an "unnamed network", e.g., Sprint *wink wink*? So the argument of MetroPCS coverage is the same as anybody else. If they're in your area your golden if not well...
Couldn't have been too well played considering he's sitting on a big fat -1 Troll for his trouble. Not only that but the specs are pretty much a given. 1+ GHz proc 1280x800 screen, 1 GB RAM, Android 4.0+ 250 dollar or less price point. Damn facts always getting in the way.:)
T-Mobile gives a 10 dollar discount on you plan if you bring your own device. There is also a carrier you don't usually hear about called MetroPCS that only does unsubsidized phones and their plans are much cheaper than the other carriers.
Consumers like small choices and dislike big choices. Give them a choice of five they'll be happy, give them a choice of 50 they'll be unhappy.
By that logic the iDevices are just more choice. What would you suggest we do? Take them off the market?
The current success of Android is largely down two groups:
Believe whatever you need to feel better about your own choice. Its your delusion. Normal people will continue getting what they want and ignoring the platform zealots like yourself.
I'm typing this on a tablet with auto correct but apparently not a grammar checker. Being a spelling/grammar nazi is about a half step above "your mom" in a debate, btw.
Except the reply was pointing out that the person in question was every bit as fashion concious as the very people he was putting down, only the OP felt that they wanted something "different".
Just like every other hipster.
So? Did a Hipster fart in your Cheereos this morning? And since you so gleefully point out my errors, learn to spell conscious.
The person replying is also entitled to their opinion. Not all opinions are valid and some are downright hypocritical.
Like the OP.
The opinion that boils down to basically "my opinion is basically that your opinion is wrong" is one of the exceptions to the all opinions being equally valid rule.
It may not fit your preference for the carefully curated device and I do see advantages to the Apple way but consumers like choice even if it does effect app compatibility which is what this is really all about. People like low prices and some Androids deliver that. People like hardware keyboards and some Androids deliver that. People like huge honking screens (me!) and Android delivers on that as well. Hell, there are even nut balls that like Android on their wristwatch (what? Like you don't think its cool) and yes, judging by the rooted Motorola ACTV sitting on my nightstand, Android has delivered. You can scream fragmentation all day long but its a hollow cry as the consumers have spoke and continue to speak to the tune of 850,000 activations a day. Now that fact may offend your delicate sensibilities but guess what? You are just one person and you don't get to tell anybody else what to think.
There many things to worry about in this world all the way up with the existential things like war and famine. Getting ads that might actually show me something that appeals to me in exchange for the great things Google provides I'd pretty far down on my list of fears. Matter of fact I'll have to check but I'm pretty sure it didn't even make the cut.
It can't take on the iPad with Fire-like specifications.
Actually it can and for two reasons. First of all, it isn't competing in the same price range as the iPad and judging from the success of the Fire and Nook, there are millions of budget conscious tablet buyers and there are likely many millions more. Secondly the specs of the Fire are fine. It's just loaded down with Amazon's UI gunk and an older build of Android that doesn't have the modern features of Ice Cream Sandwich and soon to be released Jelly Bean. The biggest issue being lack of video acceleration in the Fire. My Nexus s has this and with inferior specs to my GF's Fire it runs rings around it. Some people have installed ics on their Fires and reported marked improvements in performance. With the right mix of marketing, hardware and price here Google and Asus could have a very compelling proposition for the consumer and I'm excited to see what they will do.
Just because you can attach some trendy label (see what I did ) to someone doesn't make there opinion invalid. If you have a rational rebuttal then give it but insulting him just makes you look like a bully. And if you can't rebut him then either he is just giving his opinion which he's entitled to or he's giving facts in which case why are you arguing anyway? Maybe you need to crack open that Blue Ribbon.
I use lots of Bluetooth devices. You could almost call me a Bluetooth fan boy if there was such a thing and never not once has my Nexus S exhibited the behavior you are describing. And that is on a stock ROM. Not everything is perfect but you could cite examples of bugs in every device ever invented. I've been very happy with my S during the course of its life and only replaced it when the much superior Galaxy Nexus was released.
Unless you're from the future there is no possible way you can pronounce something a failure that you have never even laid your hands on or seen. Who farted in your cereal this morning?
I have a Xoom and an iPad. When the Xoom had HC on it the iPad got a lot of use as Honeycomb was a little too raw. But the day ICS as installed on this device the iPad was sat down and hasn't been picked up since. The experience has been wonderful. Even this tegra2 flies with Android 4.0 on it. All of the apps I have ever looked for have been available even apps to mmake apps right on the device itself. How cool is that? Nothing as complex as a modern smartphone or tablet will ever be perfect but the TMobile Nexus S and now Verizon Galaxy Nexus have been nothing short of superb. Fast fluid stable fun. Every
Thing I've wanted in one of these devices and I've used them all. In my collection I have an iPad an HD7 windows phone, a Nokia N770 mid, and several Android devices.
Android OEMs have struggled by themselves but with Google's help and Asus' engineering they could come up with something really great at a price point that is easily palatable by people not well off enough to afford 4 and 5 hundred dollar plus devices.The naysayers should wait until something is delivered before throwing irrational hate at a piece of circuitry and glass they've never even touched.

Er, dude, if you're legally blind, I would expect you to have a hard time telling things apart. What was your point?
Then the opposite of the opposite of the opposite of that is the inverse proportionate of...your point?
i.e. you have no counter argument. If there's any delusion, it's yours

Google steal Bing results. That's some funny shit. I don't usually literally LOL but that did it for me. Thanks.

Maybe 2-8 choices are cool, but a flooded market is a nightmare to navigate.
You must go apoplectic in the cereal aisle.

True, this is an issue. However, the easy fix is to take a Sprint phone to somewhere like this place and have them flash it for you.
Get help, apk.
I was just offering some friendly advice. If you don't want to take it then continue living miserably. It doesn't have to be that way.
The tablet with the best battery life is running Android. Try to keep up so you don't look silly next time.
T-Mobile gives a 10 dollar discount on you plan if you bring your own device. There is also a carrier you don't usually hear about called MetroPCS that only does unsubsidized phones and their plans are much cheaper than the other carriers.

No, but using "there" instead of "their" does.

Calm down dear, it's only a forum.
You should definitely take your own advice.
You could always just not buy it. You could probably completely ignore it and be just fine.
