The Blu Dash Music 4.0 was the one on sale for $200 when bmobile had the massive sale, the one for $300 was the Blu Dash 5.0 both phones are very very good for the price, my mother has no complaints with the 4.0, she has gotten to love it soo much she can't put it down.... Just imagine I have to tell her it's rude to play on your phone while having a conversation with other people now :/

[speedist]

Lol. Wonder where I could get now?

[Morpheus]

I agree BLUs are good budget phones. They are great phones to buy for your parents who won't have need/use for an expensive S4, S5, Z1, iPhone, etc.

Brought in a BLU Dash 4.5 for my mom for US $130. She is satisfied with that.

Holy slim bezels, batman! Love the design of the crystal.

[RASC]

I tired tell ppl.
I not paying more than $300usd for no phone!
Days for that done...the specs on the mid to lower end are becoming so compelling. This is the sector fueling all the growth in the market place now.

[Trini Hookah]

Here i was thinking RASC wasn't a sufferer too :'(

Bargain hunting is just more fun...

For example colognes- everyone knows I had (have) a decent collection. From buying on release day at Saks Fifth Ave or Nordstrum-It quickly dawned on me that, that is utter foolishness.

Started basement shopping at Marshalls-
Finding a Thierry Mugler deep in the pile at $15usd is a lot more enjoyable. Whole time in your head you thinking "WTF how nobody saw this??"

Same thing with phones now... Find those rare budget gems that can hold their own against the big boys for a 1/3 of the cost is more fun to me.

[Trini Hookah]

Yup understandable.

I like to try some of the lesser known phones, but my main is always a mainstream for purposes of custom development and roms.

Getting that a few weeks now

[stev]

what notification cards allyuh talking bout? it started appearing on the lock screen jus so?

i know u can manually put / remove it by adding the google now widget to the lockscreen.

[kerwinishere]

Basically its like iPhone lock screen notifications in the except you can swipe them off. I didn't have to add the lock screen widget. Think its a feature with 4.4.4

[pete]

I realized it's just Facebook..

[kerwinishere]

s3 is a bargain nowadays, but it's so old. I would recommend the xperia m2, it's big, snappy, and has an awesome battery life.

[var]

Hey! Super new to the Android scene.. Was purely apple but that went downhill..

Bought the M8 yesterday, works like a gem but I'm not picking up on the custom things? Help? Any tricks of the M8 you guys can suggest?

[Trini Hookah]

[ZeroOne]

XDA is your friend

[oSaRi.]

I know that there is alot of customizations for android. If I don't get the update soon will have to root. Don't have experience with using custom roms but I can do some research into it.
One other thing don't know why my phone is only picking up edge.
