[QUOTE=Noss;38262963]Curved edges of N10 are horrible. Makes it look like a toy.[/QUOTE]
I'm still really interested in how the grip of the N10 is going to be like. Matias Duarte had no problems holding it with one hand in kind of a weird way, I'd be afraid I'd drop it like that.
And tbh, I'm more pissed about how the back looks, that typical Samsung oval-shaped thing there. ugh.
The extra bezel in the front should actually help to hold it in one hand without touching the display. And personally, the curves don't look THAT bad. It's weird on photos but it might look much better in person.

[QUOTE=Generic.Monk;38262941]why, the phone ui thing is perfect for it (but you can download the paranoid android ROM that adds tablet UI if you really want) - I'm more worried about the N10 personally
also I've tried the new 4.2 keyboard and while it's way faster than swype it's also far more innacurate unfortunately ([url]http://pocketnow.com/2012/10/30/android-4-2-stock-keyboard-now-available-for-download-unofficially[/url])[/QUOTE]
As Kaabii pointed out, I was talking mostly talking about custom apps like (Facebook and Twitter) that completely waste space by using a phone UI on tablets. The phone launcher on the N7 actually makes sense to me.
If the N10 doesn't force Facebook and Twitter to make tablet apps, [B]NOTHING[/B] will. Since Google doesn't want to force or pay developers to make tablet interfaces, there's very little they can do now. It's time the users take matters into their own hands and 1star said apps and endlessly complain in all possible places. Public shaming is the only option left over here.
And the leaked keyboard is still a pre-production sample, not yet final quality. Plus, the keyboard is supposed to auto-learn since 4.1+, so the prediction quality should improve (although not drastically) over time.
Forgot to calibrate my battery after flashing a new rom, I thought my phone wasted 40% in 4 hours of doing nothing.
is the extended battery for the gs3 worth it

Battery stats .bin file? Got rid of that in 4.0+

This is pretty much my thought. Especially if it's thin enough, the bezel may not be a problem. It's still smaller than the Kindle fire's bezel (as a matter of overall tablet size.)
Spoiler: It was to another stock one :v:
Edit:
Well, this sentence sucks without context.

Imagine if you could do that on an Iphone, that would totally change the game.
Anyone know how I can use the ICS Camera apk on CM10? I don't like the gallery/camera merge Google did (I've already got quickpic for my photos).

ok, ive used 5 screen protectors so far. the one i just put on has 2 dust bubbles on it so ill just have to live with it.
i wish manufacturers would put them on in the factory.
When I got my SGSII I bought a film with it. I failed because it was so hard, then redid it with a new one. I instantly got weird lines on the film and then I just said fuck it and kept it there.
Not gonna put any film on my Note II.
I thought my nexus 7 was safe because of the corning glass.
Nope, massive fuck off rainbow line right down the center.
Had to buy these screen protectors to cover it up, which it does a surprisingly good job at.

YOU FOOL!!
Soon you will change the kernel, and before you know it, installing a new aftermarket rom.
Damn it, screen protector corner is peeling off, tried peeling the whole thing off, fuck, it's really hard to peel off, so I decide to do it later, dust gets under the screen protector, double fuck.

My Xperia Ion came with one preinstalled and when I got my case I put another one double protection.

Throw the phone under a truck.
Only solution.

I just switched back to MIUI after about 2 weeks and hnnng so fucking smooth.
Oh awesome, you can download the new camera app! Installing asap.
Guys, I just checked out a tf700 at gamestop. What was your experience? This one was pretty smooth.

Great. Now there are scratches are everywhere...

Because of the dust or was that a joke?

The one at BestBuy was pretty smooth too, just Chrome was slow. But I think that's probably Chrome's fault, it runs like shit on my phone too.
I've already decided to buy it, I can get the 32gb model + keyboard for less than $600. should have it in a few weeks
Deeply considering selling my AT&T Galaxy S2 and getting a Nexus 4. I'm sick of AT&T being made of dicks and I hate having a phone with a smaller dev community. Assuming the N4 doesn't have some horrible flaw, I would buy the 16GB version around December. Total cost would be $150 or so after selling my GS2.
Would anybody have a reason against that, or is that a reasonable thing to do?
For this Halloween I wanted to get some Android shirt and wear it to school as a costume. I found out I was poor so I decided to print out a sheet of paper with the Android logo or comic on it and slap it on my shirt. I found out I was out of ink and I'm poor. So I decided to wear what I had before. Man I'm poor,
