Hey Guys, a friend of mine told me about an auction on ebay. I kinda really don´t understand the world anymore the iphone5 was sold for 1510€ in germany.
(1510 € = 1.945,182 US-Dollar)
It´s really hard to understand for me that people are gonna buy a phone for nearly 2000$. Atm i´m very happy with my GNex. It´s amazing fast, smooth and costs about 300€ in germany. someone could have 5 Gnex´s instead of one Iphone
It´s hardly understandable for me, why people buy a phone at such high costs with a hardware that´s nothing special today.
it has got a very strange resolution (1.136 x 640). i mean, dafaq, no one is using it, they just chose this xy bla resolution to get as close as possible to the form of the old one. the gnex has got the 720p hd standard, mx player for example can easily play hd videos, even mkv. u´re also forced to use itunes... in the direct comparison to the auction, this version of the iphone5 had 64gb space, but does this excuse the high price? and would the galaxy s3 not be a better alternative?
sorry guys, meanwhile i really hate apple they still get people to buy their phones, which aren´t bad, but so damn expansive and got a lot of limitations in the software.
really can´t understand that, just because it´s apple?!

thank you for your informative (not really) post about iphone5. Please file this in the iphone cabinet with the 30 other threads talking about that phone and not the nexus.
In the before the lock!

OP, people buy the iPhone for the brand not what's inside. The reputation of iPhone's are easy to use devices, while most people still see Android as an ugly, slow updates, pain in the ass to use OS. Android's image is changing but people still think the iPhone is the go to phone, period, end of story and will pay whatever they have to to get one.

Nokia World 2011
Live blog from Engadget here
We have pretty much seen the leaked shots of the hardware, what else is everyone waiting to hear about?
I'm really excited to see what type of changes/additions/apps Nokia will bring to the WP7.5 experience.
I also pray the Ace is a real device.
I also want extensive hands on videos and impressions of all the hardware.
Release dates/Prices/Carrier info
We haven't seen the Nokia Ace, waiting to see what that's like before I (Hopefully) buy a 64gb Nokia 800.
I hope we get some really good videos of the hardware too, and if the Ace isn't real I'm going to sulk They look beautiful phones. Hopefully they are going to make me go shopping. More than individual handsets though I'm really looking forward to seeing what they do in terms of marketing the platform; a mobile giant such as Nokia could make all the difference in getting the world to take notice of WP7.

Which confirms this leak from pocket-lint a while back: http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/42352/nokia-ace-windows-phone-7
Not as uniquely exciting as the Lumia 800 but will satisfy the big screen needs of users.

What do you think?
they submitted this is 2010 or 2011 i believe so dont go thinking its the xplay replacement just yet its been around aslong as the xplay idea.
but sounds good but in use would probably be hell 2 sliders just sounds like its going break easily.
As it stated in the article, just because its a patent doesnt mean Sony will use it. But I must admit my last 2 android phones had hardware keyboards and i just used the GameGripper to overlay my phones keyboard, map out my keys and play my emus. But when I saw the Xperia PLAY I was like I can live with a touchscreen control if I have the gamepad.... and never looked back.

Still the dual sliding if it works out well and it becomes a reality it could be pretty sweet. But I am taking it with a grain of salt until its confirmed... never the less...... good find and thanks for sharing!
I'm throwing money at the screen but nothing's happening D=
http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/27/sony-dual-slider-patent/
here is a much reliable source for you people and on a much more current date
If they make something like that, let's hope it's designed so the ribbon cables on the inside don't break as easily as they do now. I've seen too many play users fall victim to that design, including myself.
I think having a qwerty AND a gamepad would be amazing. The phone might end up being really bulky though. If that's the case Sony might skimp out on the battery to save space.. Yikes.
Qwerty pads are a must-have for some people and would probably give them a larger market. I personally considered getting an xperia pro, or galaxy glide at one point.
Mind you, I only use Swype these days. But, it would be good to have one for those times when the hands are moist, and the digitizer decides to be overly sensitive.

bought this game yesterday evening on my sgs3 and downloaded the whole 1,8gb just to see that it, well, just doesn't start.
yeah. maybe i should have read more blogposts about horn just working on tegra atm. but seriously, why the hell can I purchase a game on my phone, that actually isn't supported?
take a look at this screen and tell me wtf they are thinking:

It's not about the money cause I can't return it @play store. It just really pisses me off, that I can purchase a game ON MY PHONE that ist listed compatible, but just is not.
I saw the graphics, mind blowing. I really want to play it.

you were lucky enough to purchase it. I cant even do that. See one of these threads. there are a lot of workarounds to play tegra/THD games on exynos/mali based chipsets. you might be able to play

Google still should refund you if you ask. Chainfire 3D might work but you won't get tegra3 visuals and it doesn't work on Jelly Bean.

I have been playing on my Nexus 7 and it is boss.
Seems crazy to me though that you would release a premuim game but not on the most popular high end handset out there. Mental.
I'm sure that economics will dictate an S3 version will come out soon, especially isf the S3 continues to sell units by the Metric Shedload!
Hi HTC Owners...I've read this news online and wanted to share it with you guys...

One California man is thanking his lucky stars that he decided to buy an HTC Evo 3D. Yesterday morning the phone stopped a bullet that would otherwise have hit him in the chest.
It’s a scene right out of an old Western flick, except that the pocket-sized Bible has been replaced by a 4.3-inch Android smartphone. A look at the back of the Evo reveals that its most volatile components (the battery) played an important role in stopping the slug.
Obviously the victim will be in the market for a new phone now. If HTC’s marketing department has an ounce of common sense, they’ll leap at the chance to work this into their Iron Man campaign and get a brand new phone into this guy’s hands as quickly as possible.
This isn’t the first time an HTC phone has stopped a bullet, either. You may recall an eerily similar incident that occurred back in 2011, where an Atlanta nightclub valet’s life was saved by an Evo 4G. Yes, that’s another Sprint variant.
Is it possible that the Sprint/HTC collaboration is yielding some breed of superphones? Clearly one other thing Droid does is stand up to small caliber rounds.
Unapologetically plastic? That’s a slogan that works for some. Others might prefer the sound of something a bit more dramatic, and if HTC can’t find a way to capitalize on a second live-saving, bullet-stopping phone then the company deserves to be absorbed by a competitor and fade into oblivion.

That's like the best kind of marketing...
yeah, HTC dould use it efficiently...

haha, yeah...It's true, HTC could replace the mobile and use it for marketing... It is definitely the best build in the android mobile market...
They should really use that for marketing, would catch the attention of people with cracked phones!
New business opportunities for HTC. Manufacturing of body armour.

Hey guys,
So we all know that the Galaxy Wonder here is a low range model with other flagship smartphone looking down at this device in terms of hardware.
We also know that finding accessories for this is almost impossible now with shops flooding cases etc for the Galaxy S5 and 5/5S :banghead:
So what I did was take a marker and just "draw" (or design for a better word) on the backcover of my Galaxy Wonder. I got it in white colour so I'm lucky enough. You can pretty much design anything you want if you are confident enough to "vandalise" your phome but its gonna turn out gorgeous in many ways. Here's mine!

If you did drew or design something, take picture and post it here. I recommend you having a brief idea on what you are gonna draw. Like maybe its batman, so google search it and kindof, trace the picture or smth like that I wanna see it
