[QUOTE=garrynohome;31208907]Uh no. Unlocking it won't magically transport the 850/1900 bands into the radio. [editline]19th July 2011[/editline] I posted that [B]8 posts[/B] above you guys.[/QUOTE] Well sorry then. Didn't notice. If you really want to get people's attention, just post the bloody pictures next time. AND DON'T BE SO BUTTHURT. And what's the deal with USA exclusive phones, why aren't the rest of the world getting em.

I'm simply saying that I had already posted it. The bold wasn't to express anger, it was to express how it was funny that both of us made the trolling apple comment. Looks like you're is attempting to start some sort of war, although I can not fathom why.

[QUOTE=Thund3rdome;31209050]Different radios... Most phones come out in Europe anyways, just renamed.[/QUOTE] Other way around. The US renames all their phones. Ex. HTC ChaCha became HTC Status.

[QUOTE=garrynohome;31209074]Other way around. The US renames all their phones. Ex. HTC ChaCha became HTC Status.[/QUOTE] Yeah mixed it up a bit.

Also I like how usually my phone lasts a single day, and now that I needed it to discharge to finish calibrating the battery, it lasts 2 days with everything on, Bluetooth, GPS, WiFi, data, sync and etc.

I like how my phone can't manage a single day without needing a charge.. Props to my dads Nexus S, I don't know how he manages to have 60% battery at 3 days of usage..

I'm trying to download a wallpaper I made on firefox but when I hit save nothing happens. This is while on my sensation.

[QUOTE=Brt5470;31209185]I'm trying to download a wallpaper I made on firefox but when I hit save nothing happens. This is while on my sensation.[/QUOTE] Isn't it better to sync it over via DropBox? Also, anyone got some sick SG2 wallpapers? The stock ones are nasty.

Going to try and install CM7 on my SGSII and get Samsung's Apps working at the same time. That's the only thing holding me back.

[QUOTE=SilverHedgehog;31209399]I plan to use WP7 on the HD2, but I'll keep that in mind, thanks.[/QUOTE]Wow, WP7 is a piece of shit. Have fun with that one.

[QUOTE=faze;31209418]Wow, WP7 is a piece of shit. Have fun with that one.[/QUOTE] How so? It looks pretty awesome, it's just young.

[QUOTE=PyroCF;31209430]How so? It looks pretty awesome, it's just young.[/QUOTE]It's just as limited as Apple, minus the Flash issue. Android has so much more development behind it, the opportunities are endless.

Dual core devices that still stutter from time to time, where iOS and WP7 use single cores and they run buttery smooth.

Android is going to win in the mobile OS battle, but WP7 will have a nice fight with iOS for the second place.

And Metro UI is awesome. [editline]19th July 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=faze;31209513]Android devices run fine on single or dual core.[/QUOTE]They do run fine, but still not as smooth as an iOS or a WP7 device. Every OS is awesome, but has their problems.

[QUOTE=Thund3rdome;31209050]Different radios... Most phones come out in Europe anyways, just renamed.[/QUOTE] I was referring to the droid phones, the HTC phones. Like the EVO series.

[QUOTE=Ignhelper;31209669] What bout blackberry.[/QUOTE]Sorry, but Blackberry is dead.

[QUOTE]It seems Samsung may be making a big splash at IFA 2011 in Berlin this September … literally. Sources in Korea told Yahoo News Korea that the company will debut the Samsung Galaxy Q at the world’s largest consumer electronics trade show, clocking in at a massive 5.3-inches. The screen is reportedly one of Samsung’s popular Super AMOLED Plus displays, but no word on what the pixel dimensions will be. The source went on to say that the device would have both 3G WCDMA and 4G LTE connectivity, meaning that in the United States it could be heading to either AT&T or Verizon, but there is no clue as of yet which one it will be. Beyond those small facts, next to nothing is known about the device. We have no clue if it will support voice calls or not as the 7-inch Galaxy Tab did so in Europe, but not in the United States. It is not unprecedented for a device of the size to support calls as the 5-inch Dell Streak does, but when devices get into this size range, you have to wonder about the practicalities of holding it up to your face for any extended period of time. Samsung does seem to have an obsession with making phones bigger and bigger. The Infuse 4G is currently the company’s largest device at 4.7-inches, but when you’re talking about a device that needs to be carries with you and potentially held up to your face, the difference between 4.7 and 5.3-inches is pretty substantial. What do you think? Do you have any interest in a 5.3-inch device from Samsung? Do you think it will support voice calls?[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.technobuffalo.com/rumors/samsung-galaxy-q-to-have-5-3-inch-screen/[/url] Following Dell?

[QUOTE=SilverHedgehog;31209731]Sorry, but Blackberry is dead.[/QUOTE]Yeah, Blackberry sucks ass. They totally failed with their tablet attempt.

I'm sorry for being dumb, but I have a question. If I were to buy the sgs2 on newegg, could I bring it to my carrier and get it activated? I'm kinda confused about the merits of buying an aftermarket phone.

AT&T, AT&T 3G, T-Mobile, Rogers, Fido 3G - AT&T 3G Only.

[QUOTE=Ignhelper;31209772][url]http://www.technobuffalo.com/rumors/samsung-galaxy-q-to-have-5-3-inch-screen/[/url] Following Dell?[/QUOTE] Probably will have a 1280x720 display or higher. I'm still waiting for a 4 inch 720p AMOLED though. 300ppi and SAMOLED+ together will be an awesome screen.

Basically it works on 3G throughout the world and on AT&T 3G in the US. [editline]19th July 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=faze;31209774]Yeah, Blackberry sucks ass.
