I dont know about you guys but I love to read phone reviews and mobile blogs, I love reading and learning about new emerging tech. As of late, every site Ive gone to raves about the Nokia N9, and yes I know what your going to say its "dead" its "obsolete" because of meego OS. But honestly, even under those circumstances I am extremely tempted to purchase this handset. Owned Androids, Ive owned iphones, Pre's, windows mobile(not 7). Ive become less biased in my mind. The fluidity of the OS, the simple swipe gestures are reallly starting to tempt me. I must
just purchase it, apart from that the design is truly stunning. Very unique what do you guys think? I love my gs2 dont get me wrong but I was just never a One phone man ....hope my girl doesnt read this
The phone itself (sans software) looks sexy as hell. I can appreciate the double tap to unlock feature, though wonder how it affects battery life. The launcher itself looks nice as well, I like the simplicity of it. I'll give it 3 months and bet someone can create their own version of their launcher.
I know what you mean about the phones thing. I cant help but oogle over the latest and greatest.

Glad I'm not the only one , well the screen is AMOLED so reports say battery life is good.
Yes the simplicity of it is what I like plus meego is open as well so if there Was enough support probably and ICS port. .... the build quality seems top notch I seriously might give it a shot
I been drooling over that Lumia 800. WP7 or not, that is probably the sexiest handset I've ever seen.

Just googled the n9, I didn't realize the two looked practically identical... I based my comment on looks alone, I could care less for the internals on those things. I'm shallow I guess lol.
Do any WP7 phones have 1gb ram? I thought they all had 512mb...
I'm looking for an all white case that covers the bezel on the front. The back could be all white or gray like the Neo hybrid (I think). The only case that seems to be like this, is the sgp ultra capsule, but all reviewers complain of the glitter being gay. Is it really that gay? Is there any other good white cases I don't know about?

Its only as gay as you are uncomfortable with yourself.
For example...If you're really uncomfortable with yourself, then it is really gay.
If you don't give a ****e about glitter (and realize that plenty of DUDE things have glitter), then its not gay at all.
Don't be a homophobe and just rock whatever case you like.

I picked this one up off ebay - http://www.ebay.com/itm/18087166803...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_1577wt_1163
I like it a lot actually. Also have a black diztronic rev3 and in comparison it fits just as well.
Agree on the gay thing by ficklecycler. I have a white Mercury case and not at all conscious about the pearl effect. I even think it gives it a bit of character.
I had a Black case that had glitter in it. I didn't much care for it... but after I swapped out to a cheaper Diztronic Rev 3 case that didn't have the glitter... then it felt like cheaper materials.
The glitter effect wasn't really evident but gave it a little sparkle. Kinda like a good paint job on a car... where dudes rock glitter and colored flakes all the time.
It ain't like your rocking rainbows. It just has a high quality to it.
However I'm using a Ringke Slim, which their white case is solid white. I'm using the Metallic version because it matches the original case of the GN perfectly and thus it appears to not even have a case on it.
OK I think I'm going to get the ultra capsule then. I usually don't care about things being gay but I'm only sixteen I'm buying this with my own money. Its funny I've been saving up for months for the nexus(when it was 700$) the minute I saw it on the play store for 400 I bought it. I have like 40 dollars remaining. When you buy stuff with your own money you really value it lol, that's why I care about the case being gay.
Tl;dr - I'll get the ultra capsule. I only care because I value my phone.

He definitely could have used better diction, but we know he wasn't trying to be offensive or homophobic by using that word. We shouldn't be too overly sensitive. We got the general idea of what he's asking, but yes he should have used better word usage.
Anyways, to the OP, look around eBay and amazon. You'll find plenty of white cases. Try Cruzer Lite. They have an all white case that you're looking for. Good luck.

****** is a more offensive word, by far! Tossing the word gay around is no big deal to many American people. On American culture is usually used to describe something as either being lame or homosexual.
Nothing to get you knickers in a twist over. The episode of south park about the word fag is hilarious!

Completely different. I won't even type the n word; I would put it on a whole other level than "gay". If anyone forgot, gay means happy in the dictionary. It has another meaning. The n word doesn't exactly.

There is no such thing as "offensive" words. It's the context that matters.

hes just trying to sell his product, that is all. what do you expect him to say, anything manufactured by his company and sold by crApple to stay away from? thats something that i would say..
The IP5 may indeed spank the SGSIII in some people's eyes, they do get to have a standard to go against now, it's an endless game of leapfrog and trying to raise the bar.
I'm an outlaw though, it's hard to be an outlaw with an Iphone, that's more of a yuppy/emo/hipster thing.

Won't iPhone 5 be released like 4-5 months after initial international release of S3? That's an eternity for technology. I'd sure hope it beats the S3 handily.
-Sent from a GSM Galaxy Nexus (RAScream+Trinity).-
I do believe the iPhone 5 will be a nice device but remember these are the same people that convinced iPhone 4 owners that they needed to by an iPhone 4S because of Siri and people actually believed they owned the best device because of this.
Luckily Android users are smarter then that and do not buy into the whole hype building from these manufacturer's. We need to see the worth in the upgrade or a lot of us will not spend the money like iHippies.
Plus we already saw what iOS 6 is bringing to the table, one of the main focuses is Siri fixes. lol
I dunno...
The thing holding back the GNex, SGSII, SGSIII and other Android devices is the AMOLED screen. If they had the display of the iPhone 4s but larger, it would spank the iPhone with one hand tied behind it's back.

You know that samsung commercial ? Where the ifans are waiting in line and in awe of the samsung galaxy s3's ? :cyclops: Yea that just happened to me in my daughters ballet class last night. Had like 3 different parents stop watching their kid to watch me video tape mine because they were in awe from my phone. Thats wassup. :good: They all had iphones which made it even more funny for myself. They were all like, "wow that is beautiful" "thats so big, but i like it" You should have seen their face when i unleashed the slow motion feature on them. WHOA !!!!! hahahahaha."What kind of phone is that" "Is that a phone" "Who makes it", Man they all lost it. Thought others would enjoy this story and if any one else has had the samsung commercial experience with their Note 2's. hahahahahahaha :laugh:
I don't actually have a story to share, but I just wanted to thank you, because I just woke up super bummed out that I have to work in 30 minutes with no mood whatsoever and you made me laugh loud with this post.

maybe they got paid out by certain companies? doesn't make sense why they wouldn't unless there was an incentive not to.
kinda like how Apple pays game developers not to release their games on Android, and keep it an iOS exclusive. (a sad tactic btw)

Although that may be true it doesn't make sense for a company a trusted case maker to completely skip out one of the biggest releases this year, I mean everyone 's been talking about it. I guess it possible though that they were paid. Hmm sucks.

iPhones = sell 20 million devices (probably a lot more, actually) easily, and a metric frakton of Otterboxes.
Nexus = sell a rather paltry number, no big sales except right when it first becomes available, no long term ecosphere behind it even in spite of it being a solid device, etc.
I mean really, go to any store, anywhere - Best Buy, Fry's, MicroCenter, Sears, hell even a 7-11 - and you'll find stuff for the iPhones but you won't find diddly Jack Squat for anything else. It's sad that this is how the world operates but, that's how the world operates.

Nothing has really changed so far.
OtterBox has positioned themselves as a "premium smartphone case maker" and for their ridiculously overpriced products, they're exactly where they want to be.

Yeah, Spigen seems like the next best thing, but I'm seeing a lot of reviews on Amazon about misalignment over the power button. Spigen said they are aware of the issue and a fix is in the works, but it sounds like the "bad" ones are still in stock. Returns are a PITA.

Well, I do. I love it (note 2) when my atv/ sxs group go riding for ~100 miles in a day. Yea it may not be water proof (but it sure helps with the water splashes) but the dust protection for the dirt roads and woods we ride, it offers GREAT protection. So, what may not work for you, works great for others.

I still can't believe they made an Otterbox for the HTC Vivid and not the Nexus 5. I know a bunch of people with the N5 and have not met a single person who also owned the HTC Vivid during my 2 years with the device.
I had a Commuter for my HTC One (2 actually) and I loved it. I'm using a Cruzerlite TPU case now and it is also really nice. (Not to mention $13 shipped). Sad that we really don't have quality options yet for this phone
I doubt the CS knows for sure. Just like CS at pretty much all companies. They usually don't know anything but what is on their trouble shooting flow chart in front of them.
