yea i put it in my front pocket to compensate

don't u?

[S_2NR]

lol no.
i mostly wear jeans and t shirt/polo.

[Strauss]

why are these devices getting bigger and bigger?
just now phones would have 5-6" screen.
its crazy.

Same thing I'm saying.

I think 4" should be the biggest size.
If you want more, get a friggin tablet. And we have so much to choose from now.

[MadCrix]

wrong way of thinkng guys, devices that are all in one is de way forward, how bout a 8" screen that projects

[S_2NR]

you have any idea how goofy it would look to be talkin on an 8" phone/tablet contraption.
its like those people who take pics with their ipad.

[SUPAstarr]

i used to do it with my TAB when the headset died, its like talking to a book

[X-Axis]

Put a case on my SGSII. Hated it. Im keeping my phone naked. Anyone wants to buy a case PM me. $125. It's a combination silicone/hard shell case.

Just a quick question. I recently got a Samsung Galaxy S2 and i had a bb before. So i just threw in the sim and i was getting internet but it running like real shite. Would it work better if i got a normal data plan?
I not asking for a miracle cuz i know the normal data plan is slow but at least I am hoping I don't have to wait 20 minutes for messages to go through which is what I am experiencing now.
I have considered the tstt wimax but I would rather not carry around the hotspot with me everywhere I go.

[Parvin]

If you post paid ... then the bb internet is on a contract and they will charge you penalty fees if you choose to end it before the contract is up.

What messages are you having problems with, where are you primarily, The speed of Bmobile's internet service doesn't promote browsing, but I don have any issues using any messaging apps, unless the service is giving problems or I'm in a moving vehicle.

Download speedtest from the market and do a speedtest, I usually get between 5 and 15 kB/s download and 5kB/s upload during peak hours, during off peak hours (11pm - 5am) I get up to 22kB/s down and 15kB/s up.

[trini_champ]

That would be retarded since I would actually be paying more on the new data service. But if that's the case so be it, I just want to be able to send and receive messages instantly, or load a page on fb.

I'm getting problems with whatsapp messages, facebook, scoremobile, mainly apps. Surprisingly the browser works pretty well.

U running a phone that isn't a bb with the blackberry internet service?

[UML]

is there an app for me to open and get all my contacts? I have Android OS, v2.1 (Eclair). Currently i get my contacts by clicking on "phone" then the tab on the right bottom corner then the tab on the left bottom corner.

is there another way to access contacts?

is there an app or shortcut to click to access the contacts easier?

u cant end the contract but u can adjust and take the cheapest package (no penalty)

That is weird, I have no issue using those apps, don't use scoremobile, the only problem I have is with the speed of the connection, the service is just bmobile allowing you to access their data service from your SIM card, no more no less...

Google Music 'These Go to Eleven' event announced for November 16th



We just got word that Google is holding an event on November 16th, and our sources tell us it's going to be for Google Music. The email came from Spinal Tap's Nigel Tufnel, in case the event's 'These Go to Eleven' name wasn't obvious. No word yet on what will be announced, but we expect to see music purchasing added to the service as well as new Google+ sharing service following a glimpse in October of an HTML5-powered music player. We'll be covering the event live at 2pm PST. Developing...
