yes a samsung. but i wont be getting another samsung ever again

How come? By what I've read/seen around the samsung galaxy series is really nice, comparable to apple.


they are simply crap. yes they jam a lot of features and specs in the device but if you arent willing to shell out 500 bucks for a galaxy S then dont expect any software updates. also mine is slow, laggy and buggy. my uncles S2 is the same way. i have the samsung galaxy wonder. honestly piece of advice, stay away from samsung mobiles as much as you can

The series in samsung somewhat confuses me. I thought samsung main phones were the galaxy s series and the galaxy note, but apparently there are others like the one you named too.

they are basically mid ranged smartphones that use the galaxy name for marketing. i didnt get it because it was a "galaxy" but because at the time the specs were good for the price. oh boy do i regret my choice now, i wish i went with HTC or Sony. and thats what i will be doing later on honestly

You mentioned before that you didn't get the galaxy s series due to price/expensive, do you not enter into two year contracts?

LOL no, where i live contracts are REALLY expensive compared to other options here. i literally pay about 8 bucks a month and i get more than enough minutes, and 3G with 1GB download limit. so if i enter a two year contract that would make me spend 30 a month (atleast) it would be really expensive for me.

ahh alright, I was wondering why you saids the s series was $500 since with a contract they start at $200 in most places.

I'm starting to think that everyone just reads the title and not the op. xD

Iphone 5.
Its a nice phone and its the first Apple device I've owned, but I really wish I had bought a Lumia 920 instead.

Flip phones will eventually go extinct. People now want bigger screens and flip phones are generally small.

Why? The lumia runs windows os which doesn't match up to android and ios right now.

I like the look of the OS better, and the Lumia 920 has more impressive features than the Iphone 5.

I have a Lumia 920 and it's easily the best smartphone I've ever owned. Then again, the only other smartphone I owned was an iPhone 4 so my horizons are pretty limited.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Right now I own a Sony Xperia S phone for almost a year, before I had Xperia Arc S which now my father has. It's not a perfect phone, has it's flaws although by the time I got it, it was the best on the market in my opinion. As you can guess I'm very happy with the Xperia line and am sure to stick with it in the foreseeable future.



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

Samsung Galaxy S2. Going strong for 2 years. Best phone I've ever had PERIOD!!! It's like having a little partner along with you that can connect you to the interwebz from anywhere, show the way to wherever through GPS, play games, music, lets you take photos/videos when you are on vacation, read lecture notes and so much more.
