Giving the phones away with their set-top boxes? I don't think they're that desperate yet.

Hey don't shoot the messenger. Sorry...
People like Canonical need to get it through their thick f'ning skulls that building a different OS at this point to invite yet ANOTHER user experience is not what the world needs.
That's crazy talk. Already the Ubuntu touch looks much more natural than JB with their bullshit left/right notification bar and tap and hold to toggle shit.
I've been using those pie controls on my n7 since basically day one, and bringing up apps with that is much better than a home/launcher thing.
Android is getting stale.
Then harness it and change it like Amazon and Barnes and Noble did. I really don't get the need for another OS.
i think its a the worst phone OS i've seen, but one of the best tablet OS's.
Skin it, strip it, lick and flick it. They did more with Android than anyone else (including Samsung). All I'm saying is the file structure is basically the same between the two of them, why not just have a different vision using the guts that are already there? Who knows though, I'm never going to use one since I have a deep seeded hatred of Canonical now.
Don't worry somebody else or Samsung will fork Android and offer an usable tablet multitasking interface if google can get their shit together in 5.0
I'm expecting a direct copy of TouchWIZ multi-tasking in KLP.

So boring. Where all da rumours at. I guess there's nothing left but Galaxy S4, Key Lime Pie, and Motorola's next flagship.
As less things there are to look forward to, the amount of rumours are dying down aka the fun is dying down

The BlackBerry Z10 thread ended up being longer than the HTC One thread. What does it say about HTC?

Next Nexus 7 is the rumor I want!
They can't even wither and die with a bang?
People aren't as committed to their death.

Just discovered Glovebox. So cool.
you need a different hobby
I need to find the right threads to post in first.
Seriously... It gives me heart burn having to read his posts....
As far as I can tell, this is like a stripped version of ubuntu, alot of the "apps" are just prefilled with non-interactive data.
I remembering reading it's just a glorified tech demo. I'll probably look into it a bit more tomorrow. I'm not terribly informed with ubuntu/linux though.
That's fair but I'm far more jaded about politics now i don't even take them seriously.

Oh, lawd. Pctx, are you a "trickle down" proponent? If so, the free market demands X phone rumors, specifically for VZW.

I don't get why Chrome is such a piece of shit on Android when the AOSP browser is so great.
What phone are you using? On my N7 the scrolling is fast and smooth

One XL with CM 10.1
I just got cold sweats thinking about restoring stuff through TB.
Why am I back in within ROMCity limits?

So there's another rumour that the Galaxy S4 will come with a feature called Samsung Orb which samsung is saying will be better than photosphere. Either at launch or a bit afterwards in an update if it's not ready.
So the whitehouse petition telling telcos to stop fucking around with locking phones make the signature threshold.
Should be interesting to read their response.

So I have the HTC Thunderbolt with unlimited data, if I upgrade via Verizon I will lose the unlimited data....and unlocked phones are too expensive.
Thunderbolt is a good phone with the extended battery, but it is showing is age, putting ICS makes things laggy.
Wish these phones were cheaper.

If you can hold out till June, perhaps the X Phone will be sold via the Play Store for Verizon as well, for $350 or so.
That's what I'm doing to keep my unlimited.
Other than that, you can try Craigslist. I got my sister-in-law a like new S3 for $270.
Google only sells GSM phones, they cannot sell unlocked CDMA phones, so that'll never happen.
Guess I'll keep an eye on Craigslist.
