Heads would roll if this happened to Koreans. Lol.
need more high def music...

Not real.
Time to go all out math on this.
$1 billion = 20,000,000,000 nickels.
Each has volume of about 0.59 mL. Total volume will be 11,800,000,000 mL or 11,800,000L.
A huge truck can carry about 34,000L.
That means that you would need roughly 347 trucks.
That's assuming that the pennies are stacked so there's no air in between them and that the trucks can carry all that weight.

That would be awfully childish if it had actually happened. I'd hope Samsung has at least a shred of dignity left.
Also, who comes up with this bogus stuff? Someone with more free time than talent...
(Not to mention shipping tens of thousands of coins wouldn't be cheap )

It will be many years full of appeals before Samsung would have to pay Apple.

Not to mention the man power that samsung would have to allocate to loading each of those trucks, cost of delivery of Hundreds of Millions of coins.
Smart money says samsung does this via a wire transfer, Minimalizes the cost to samsung and far less chance of a screw up where not enough cash was sent or the amount was incorrectly counted.

XD

Couldn't they pay with a billion dollars loaded onto a Google per paid card of coarse along with a galaxy nexus

Toddler threw wife's Sensation in a coffee cup

We do have a subsidized phone available through T-Mo, so I'm inclined to use that.
GS3 seems like the obvious choice, but I'm loathe to hand her electronics destroying hands a new phone (this is her 3rd phone in just over 2 years. The others were similarly destroyed).
I'd be very tempted to hand her the GN and keep the GS3
How annoyed am I going to be with the GS3?
Other ideas?
And why couldn't she have waited a month until the Galaxy Note 2 came out?
Why not get her an older phone like the defy lol

Agreed. Check Craigslist too.
Honestly the Lifeproof case is a good idea too.
Same thing happened to me. My wife broke 3 phones and a laptop in just over a year. She now has an old flip phone and only uses the desktop computer. Electronics are way too expensive to be careless with.

It's a fairly new desktop. She actually prefers to use it. It gets expensive replacing electronics every other month. I wish I could somehow force her to use only Internet Explorer. That would be the ultimate punishment.

Perhaps you could look around and checks phones that will have a nice resale value right now. Not sure what choices you have with tmobile. A gs3 could be had for $200 upgrade price, flipped for $500+ and then buy a nice little mid range expendable phone that will get the job done. Or maybe buy two. This method has it's goods and bads, but if a smartphone is really needed for phone amd text, and the extras for distraction/minimal tasks and getting on the web for fun, reading or tips on breasts hurt while breastfeeding then this might be a good path. Otherwise, get a nice little unlocked nokia or moto for cheap until toddler destruction improves.

Or a defy as suggested. My friend accidently dropped his off the top of a 2 story building while taking a picture. He walked down, picked it up, entered a caption and posted it (he was using instagram). There's just a little nick in one of the corners now.
Also it's waterproof, so that helps with the drink issues.

The key word I see here is toddler, give the toddler that busted sensation. That way he/she has their own phone to dunk in coffee. The other thing is to teach your wife the proper way to deal with water damage, ie battery pull and rice.
And teach her not to put her phone in front of a baby. And tell her she won't like it the next time it happens.
Will the next nexus have a longer screen?
why does she need a phone in the kitchen in the first place?

How many people???

How many people have absolutely no regrets buying the galaxy note 2 whether purchasing it full retail price, upgrade, or new line of service?

I bought mine BNIB on Craigslist for $400. Now using it with Simple Mobile meaning that after a year of use I'll pay $500-600 less than someone on AT&T with this phone.
I'm happy.
No regrets. Best phone I've owned by a mile!
If only it came with boobies
From the Best: Note 2
I dropped 680 bucks for it yesterday. So far I love it. I have a little buyers remorse, but not because of the phone, simply for the 680 dollars...
I'm satisfied. Paid 650 off ebay, BNIB sealed and everything. No regrets. Now I just need to get a Lumina 920 that's t-mobile compatilble. lol

PhP insurance for the note 2 raising in price soon!

just informed that the galaxy note 2 for tmobile will increase to 11.99 bundle 7.79 insurance only on 3/17 and deductible of 175 instead of 130.
Wow, that sounds a little high. I hope mine doesn't get lost again. I guess I'll consider myself lucky I had to replace it before this.

You guys do realize that there are other companies that insure for far less and covers a lot more, right?

Squaretrade, I don't understand them. $99 for two year coverage and $50 deductible on the iphone 5 64gb that retails for $799, or $125 for two years coverage and $99 deductible for the $699 note 2. Or the $299 nexus 4.

The more popular the phone = less the deductible because the percentage of people actually breaking their phones is probably less than those that don't. In the end they make more money.
Not doubting you, but then the S3 should be the same price as the iphone.
Squaretrade covers none iphone smartphones up to 499 OR 599 I dont remember which one.

From my understanding, if you already have the grandfathered php, it won't increase to 11.99 unless you remove it or add it on after. could be wrong but that's my understanding. As its this early anything is possible.

As far as not counting for grandfathered plans, I've had insurance for a long time, still on an old plan and we've been with T Mobile for over 10 years since they were voice stream.

[Q] Selling Questions

Wife and I might be leaving Sprint due to having bad service at home and work, but not in between. How annoying is that if we're roaming and can't use our data? I got a call from Sprint offering a free out on both lines with no ETF due to data roaming that's occuring while I work. We have an Airave here that we got for free (and have no problem sending back to Sprint).
Anyway, onto the question. What price should we be looking at to sell our phones? Both are in great condition -- hers is white, and mine is black. Hers has an Otterbox Defender on it and mine has a Commuter.
I was thinking about $250 a piece for a total of $500 to help pay for our new phones on another carrier.
Thoughts and comments are appreciated! Thanks
I think your price is too high. $200 if you are lucky but $150-175 per phone is more realistic. This phone has been out over a year and used cases have very little value.

150-160 if you want to sell it real quick. 170-185 is where I personally would look for if I'm looking for a used GS2. $200 and above is really stretching it.
I sold mine for $300 on dec 1 with 2 batteries and 3 cases. I put an ad on craigslist nov 31 and by 9am dec 1 I had 3 ppl message me 2 offered 250 and one offered the asking price. It was gone by 10am and I was at sprint picking up my note2

I would've said $250 each at the minimum. Especially if they are in almost new condition since you've had cases on them.
Jist because this phone is a little over a year old it is still a great phone. If they are being sold now at $99 with a 2 year contract, $250 off contract for a like new with accessories is a great deal.

smart dock with 50% off

was anybody able to buy the smart dock with the 50% off deal for registering? Or was it already out of stock when they started giving away that coupon?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
It has been out of stock from Samsung since I bought my Note II Dec. 18.
I paid full price at Verizon.
They've been out of order since November so I think it's fair to think that if people used the coupon that it was a hell of a long time ago and it wouldn't matter anyways.
Sent from galaxy note 2, tablet in my pocket! ^_^
Just wondering if they don't want us using the coupon on the smart dock and once they're all expired they'll be in stock again. I can't complain free cover and tectiles. I'll just have to buy it full price somewhere. I could the 50% on other accessories.
