So Squaretrade (I think?) did a drop test with the iPhone 4s vs Galaxy SII (not our version but they are similar in build I would assume). Be warned, it hurts to see our phone fall but it fared VERY well compared to the iPhone 4s.

In your face Apple...........of course not very scientific. But I don't like Apple products anyways.
You know that your vaping signature banner is setting off google chrome warnings? It doesn't want to let anyone access the page because apparently that site is known for distributing malware.
I did my own drop test yesterday. 2 ft right onto the upper left corner.
No issues other than a scuff mark!
Where the hell is my case I ordered?
i saw this vid a couple days ago. The test with the ipad, zoom, galaxy Tab was pretty cool too. These things are way too fragile.
I am happy to see that Samsung products had the best results. Take that iphoney
Thats cool the screen stood up to the test. The bezel can't pass my pocket test, there's already some substantial dings on mine and I baby my stuff. Way more prone to stuff like this than the Sensation was. Definitely get a case if you're questioning it........

I like to think of it this way: IPhones are more for young children, old people and those who are not technically inclined (and have no interest in being so)... Or for people who don't care about being able to customize or tweak it much on the software level, they just want it "to work".

That was painful to watch, even as much as I hate iPhones >.<
Iphones remind me of those brightly colored toy laptops from Toys R Us. Kids see mommy & daddy with their laptops & they want one too, but they can't quite handle a real computer so they just get a toy that makes them feel important
Why does everyone feel they need to compare to apple. It keeps proving they make better products and we are all chasing to be like them. Don't give apple the credit.

Just to be on the record, I saw this as more of an interest in seeing what happens when our phone drops to the ground. I honestly don't care much about what happens to an iPhone, as I don't own one. I know other posters are bashing apple which is fine with me (I could care less), but I took some useful information out of this and have much less worry using this phone day to day with or without a case now with the knowledge that it can take a beating and still come out fighting strong.

Did you ever watch Star Trek The Next Generation when it was out? The idea of computers the size of a book was a futuristic idea. It was an idea that was considered 300 years in the future. Now we have tablets that are even more advanced than those in the show.
The military is now testing invisible armor
Purdue is testing nano-technology for cloaking devices
MIT is working on a tractor beam using light technology
We have cell phones that are more powerful than the computers used to power the space shuttle to the moon circa 1969
Even the play station 3 has the computing power of super computers from 1997.
Technology improves at incredible rates. I would be shocked if we don't have see through and flexible tablets inside of 10 years and maybe even 5.
I want what you are smoking... did you not see the holographic display and the entire thing was transparent and flexible?!?

...maybe samsung's next phone will be designed by boeing...>,>
While the commercial seems to be an exaggeration it will most definitely be commercial produced within the next 5-10 years.
Invisible internals? While I'm sure they can minimize the visibility of such things what I think most likely to happen is there will be a 'hand grip' or such where all of the unhideables will be hidden...mostly the battery. The motherboards for these devices is already insanely tiny and only 1 or 2 more process shrinks and super-integration of all of the disparate circuits could reduce the entire motherboard to a chip the size of an SD card.
The flexible invisible screen already exists...and it's AMOLED.
The battery is going to be the hard part...though perhaps we're not thinking 'out of the box' enough IRT batteries. I know there is lots of work going on in the polymer-battery area...flexible, semi-flexible or formless liquid batteries? Who knows....but...we will see it.
This is no flying car...these are consumer electronics. These megalith companies have a vested interest in making the stuff they just sold you yesterday completely obsolete by today to take more of your money tomorrow. That's their incentive. That's why Apple will sit on a phone for a year...they also make money on the back-end in the app store. Samsung makes money on the hardware, that's why there's so much of it.
I see nothing compelling of current gen, next gen or even rumored next-next gen Androids/smart phones. My phone is pretty damn fast and thin and has a huge screen...aside from radio upgrades, storage upgrades and processor upgrades...which we really don't need yet, we are way ahead in that department....I want something as amazing as a flexible see through phone. Going from a Lotus to a Moment was amazing, going from the Hero to the Evo4G was amazing....Going from the Evo to Evo3D was, umm, incremental? Slightly? Evo3g-NS4G to ET4g? It was cool, it is the superior phone for certain, but...amazing? Not anymore.
Bring on the transparent holographic liquid-polymer see-through battery invisible electronic 4D 5G LTE-A² ultra-phones. I'm getting bored, lol.

I saw a preview some where online that a japaneese company has a thin plastic film stuff that did just what this describes in this video. I totally beleive it. Ovbiously the internals arnt see through but the diaplay could be. It was shocking when i saw the preview demo a year or so ago
Edit- it was slightly like the videos posted in page one. I posted beford i read it all to see if there were videos
Honestly, some people here have no imagination. The internals, for example, don't need to be see through, they just have to be smaller and clustered to a certain edge of the device and be covered by something black so it looks like a design. The rest can be clear. Done!
You guys need to balance out some logic with imagination, you will then see how close these things are to actually being in production.

Hi, I'm considering purchasing an A100 as a developmental tool for my twin 3 year olds. I would probably put a bunch of kids stuff on it and run it inside the Kids Mode app.
Would you say the A100 is a good choice for this purpose? Is there a better choice?
I think it is. I let my 3 year old daughter play fruit ninja and anger birds all the time. Its the perfect size to sit in her lap while shes on the couch.

It's a pretty tough little tablet so long as its not thrown across the room. I've dropped mine quite a few times and it hasn't broken yet. The screen is gorilla glass, scratch resistant, takes some force to crack. When combining this tablet with kids, I'd say the most you have to worry about is how much you'll have to clean the screen. I work as a barber and use my a100 to keep kids occupied while I cut their hair.

Cost will be $230 new or $200 used. Their current tablet is a Xoom and this will be tablet #2 so they don't have to fight over the Xoom. As someone who works in the financial industry I have to ask, do you really consider any tablet, phone or other piece of electronics an investment?

Well without a calculator you'd be doing all your financial analysis on paper... which would take so much longer. Without communication electronics you'd be running around much more wasting that precious time trying to get a very easy question answered when you could have just called up that person... or to give you more of an advantage let's say you could use snail mail via horse... since vehicles have some form electronics in them. But seriously, try to do your job, for one week, without ANY form of electronics along side someone that is using them. Also, the consumer electronics can be used as productive tools if that's what you use them for. All depends on the motivation and mentality of the user. In the right hands, a hammer can build a house... in the wrong hands it's being only used to open beers. For those who use consumer electronics for entertainment... best argument I can make for them is that it's it helps with stress management and therefore an investment on their mental well-being.
Hope that gives you something to think about. Looking forward to your response.

The a100 is a great tablet! But for a 3 year old....I think that maybe some special learning tablet like a 'leap pad' or 'leapfrog' would be better. Honestly, I dont think a 3 year old should have a tablet just yet. Their eyes are still developing....It just doesnt seem right to me.
No, it is not.

Truly waterproof gadgets are one of things like incredible new types of batteries/mini fuel cells and wireless charging that have been tipped to be the next big thing for years now, yet never quite seems to take off.

B) you're so attached to that iPhone you've dumped hundreds or thousands of dollars on apps for you're a flat out liar
Now I'm going with option B, since I don't think there's that many freaks of nature walking around with mutant baby hands hanging off their limp wrists, they just can't suck up the fact they got scammed by apple into buying into a totalitarian regime of dumb smartphones that can't do much of sh!t but look like a colorful happy meal toy from McDonald's

And the sad thing was I actually knew more about electronics and technology than everyone in that damn store combined.

Everything apple makes is tiny, I was screwing around with my boss' iPhone cuz everytime he'd disconnect his BT the ringer would quit working, and I felt like I needed tweezers to hold that damn thing(I'm 6'7" BTW) but damn those phones were designed with one market in mind, tweens and teens with yuppie parents that will buy sh!t just cuz its the "cool" thing to do. I always ask my boss how his vaginas doing since he got that iPhone. And if the sex change was a requirement at time of purchase or if it was optional

It's funny that everyone I know who has an iPhone says my phone's screen is too big. Watch in one month when the iPhone 5 has a 4" screen, they're gonna think it's some sort of innovation and new technology to have bigger screens lol.
I saw that article but it's not gonna matter because people will go out and buy it. All my closest friends and their significant others have iphones... Enough for them to all tease me because I don't have one. And that ladies and gentlemen is what Apple is all about. It's sad and pathetic but true.

I feel your pain from getting teased by others but how is any of this sad and pathetic. They have a nice phone and you do also. It's called freedom of choice. They chose their path you chose yours... no big deal.

The same people who buy I phones are the same ones that will buy a 91 Mercedes with 180,000 miles just to say they have a Mercedes

Older Mercedes models from that era were built like tanks. I have an '89 Mercedes E-Coupe and it is a fantastic automobile even with 200,000 miles on it and my E4GT bluetoothed to the new stereo. If you have the resources (read: money) for the extra upkeep that owning any old luxury car requires then I say drive what you like.
We all know how Apple threads turn out. In the gutter, just like Apple's software.

Not that I care what others think, but is anyone else sick of hearing the same "I could never carry around something that big" reaction from people. Everytime someone I know sees my phone for the first time I feel like I immediately have to defend it by showing them how it still fits perfectly in my pockets and how other phones are too small for me. Its mostly iphone users. I bet if they spent a couple days using my phone they would probably never go back to their small "squint to read on" screen.
Yeah, but after I show them the bells and whistles, and show them how great browsing the Web is our watching a video, they usually go...Wow...that is nice! I don't have to squint to see the screen. And that is why I got it!
Its just the green eyed monster talking. Ignore it.

Haha, my newest and favorite quote now is "Thats what she said"... I show them the multitask, the video split screens. Thats what really shows them hiw amazing this is

that's what she said lolz
Seriously, people who say that are just jealous. A genuine reaction is like... look how big it is, makes mine look small, etc.
Everyone I work with has an iphony. Once they realized how Superior my phone is over theirs they left me alone, lol.. However there is still one fool who now likes to say that I carry a "flat screen". His comment is so pathetic it speaks for itself. I constantly show YouTube and HD clips to everyone I work with now.. They secretly Love my Phone. I also let them know that I have Truly unlimited everything from T-Mobile for $77 a month. Lmao!
I show them the quadrant scores and giggle at their reaction. ^^.
I say that at least I've got a phone and a tablet. It is the best of both worlds in one device.
I love it.

My standard answer is: look isn't that cool, my screen is bigger than your whole phone, so much more viewing area.
I get this a lot too but the size just feels normal to me now, I can't really use anything smaller(that's what she said). My ex had an iPhone 4 & it felt like a toy, I couldn't even type on it. I honestly wonder how people use anything smaller than 4.3 inches anymore. Boy, this is just one big long **** joke, huh >.<
I couldnt agree with this more
I rarely get that now. When I told people I was getting it they said that. But after I shoeed them an HD video, they all wanted one. Until I told them how much it costs.

Most people that see my gn2, want one for themselves. I never heard the "it's too big of a phone" thing.

i agree with all the pluses everyone has pointed out. after i explain to people that its better than lugging around a tablet, you dont have to squint, after showing them the multitasking split screen and bells and whistles they leave impressed. the main question or comment i get is "its so big it looks silly holding it up to your ear" to which i point out that i never ever even with a smaller screened phone held it up to my ear and that i always use a good bluetooth headset, so that point is moot for me.
I have coarse beard hair and sometimes oily skin which ruined my earlier phones screens so its been bluetooth all the way. :laugh:
This phone draws a lot of attention its way and it's always been good attention. Everyone wants to see it or hold it and every single time that person wants to know where to get one and how much.

Elderly people have been asking about my phone because it has a big screen...
Maybe I'll take it as a complement

My uncle is exactly like that. He said the phone is too big for him and that he can't fit it in is girly pants. He went ahead and bought an iphone 5. Started showing it off to me saying look how small and perfect it is. He then said that the screen resolution is so clear that when he watches youtube the video looks bigger..... buwahahaha! I know, I know. Then I accidently dropped my Note 2 on top of his iphone 5 and crushed it to bits. :highfive:
I think of it as the worlds smallest tablet, not the worlds largest phone.

This is my new favorite quote too after people see it for the first time and say "wow that's big" lol.
My coworkers' reaction is the same. But one of them is looking to get one on sprint after showing her the note 2's features and battery life. She has HTC Evo 4g.
