[QUOTE=AugustBurnsRed;33543119]Not sure, but i'm pretty sure you have to register in-app to get it.

Though it should be for xperia users, since it's an ericsson phone. It was actually originally for those and only recently discovered LG phones could do it too.

edit: the promo goes til april next year so you do have time.[/QUOTE]
I did register in app, like hours ago after installing the app. If I do get it, I'll go complain and I will get it.

[release]One of the many arguments Apple users have against Android owners is that we don’t have a store(s) to take our Android devices to and receive technical help or setup new handsets. Well, lucky residents of Melbourne in Australia now have that option. The Australian network operator Telstra has worked closely with Google to bring the world’s first Android store to life and have named it Androidland.

Inside Androidland, you will find things that many Android fanboys would go giddy over. A wide selection of phones to play with, a huge Google Earth setup, and Angry Birds galore. It definitely looks green and corny, but if something like this came to the States, that would be so awesome. Video tour down below.[/release]

15 minutes after flashing on my Inc, the touchscreen shattered directly around the trackball. :/

It looks really sweet! I hope they open up more stores elsewhere.

Nooooooo, fuck. I was at work today, and I had my infuse in my back pocket. My supervisor asked me to climb up into these steel racks, and I forgot about my phone, so I was in the racks, laying on my back.
After I got out I realized that my phone was in my pocket, so I checked the screen, and was relieved to find it wasn't broken.
Three hours later my phone was acting weird, so I reflashed a different rom only to find out that what I thought was an icon for SD card reading error was actually a no-sim error.
So right now my phone won't read my SIM card, and I'm really hoping that only my sim card broke. There's a nice dent on the back of my phone that goes right across the top of the sim card.

In the morning I'll get my brother's phone and put my SIM in it to see if it works. I'm gonna be fucked if my phone can't read sim cards anymore.

If/when I get a phone, It will only be because of not calling people or texting, but because I'm interested in android and want internet anywhere.
Is this bad?

That was my original reason, but since I was already taking it with me everywhere I started using it for texting and calling too.
So, go ahead!

Well I checked again this morning and now I can download baconreader, I don't even.

YOU NOW HAVE BEATS AUDIO

[Generic.Monk]

[QUOTE=Ignhelper;33550063]And what's so bad about beats besides it being horribly overpriced[/QUOTE]

beats headphones are overpriced shitpiles geared towards overpowering bass frequencies
beats audio is an EQ preset

seriously, beats audio is literally just an EQ preset, and the fact that htc are selling phones with the message 'the only phones with beats audio' is even more hatefully cynical than motorola saying their phones are 'the only phones with motoblur'

they've invented a standard which is complete bullshit and now are selling phones using it as a selling point and it fucking annoys me

[editline]3rd December 2011[/editline]

they're trying to sell a phone for music using this snake oil bullshit, if they were serious about making a music phone they'd actually install a good DAC and maybe include some software audio wizardry that isn't complete bullshit, like dolby headphone

[mankind_me]

also, about audio, I don't see why people are saying audio quality on the gs2 is shit, I like it really

well, maybe I haven't heard anything better yet

Coming from a dedicted Walkman (which cost 5x less) I feel it could have been a little bit better.

400 bucks for a pair of buds

after 100 dollar rebate

The quality is perfectly fine. Sure, it's not something for hardcore audiophiles, but if you don't study every beat of your music, you're not really going to care. There are ways to improve the quality though.

edit: fucking hell, 400 dollars for headphones? I have Sennheiser CX 300-II Precision headphones and the quality is very very good. I just taped the asymmetrical cable to a symmetrical one after like 2 months of usage :v:
And wow, they're shit cheap outside of Czech Republic. I bought them for 50 dollars, yet Google found them for just 24. Dammit.
