Official South Carolina thread

If it makes ya'll feel any better - I got a Nexus One over 3 years ago, and it still frankly outclasses most cellphones on the market today. I had features years ago that my girlfriend's iPhone4 just "upgraded" to. IceCreamSandwich will be the first upgrade that it will not be receiving, so i'm on android 2.3.6 for the forseeable future.

I will only buy "developer" / "nexus" phones from now on. No other way to guarantee that you'll get every single update to come out, until hardware eventually becomes the limiting factor.

yea one thing i like a lot is that you can "disable" apps you don't want that are spamware on the app menu. really helps clean up all the BS that comes preloaded. can't uninstall it completely unfortunately but at least you don't have to scroll through a ton of apps you don't want/need/use

After messing around with the Razr in a store I decided it was even wider than my droid X and that's a problem. I don't like not being able to thumb through everything while holding it. So I'll need to dabble with the nexus for a bit and see if it's better.

I've been a moto follower for some time since the original razr came out. Not so sure about Samsung, but they seem to be dominating many electronic markets... So I'll give them a decent chance with this one.

My problem is I can't upgrade for free till march, but I'm impatient... I wants something better meow!!

i'm loving this thing so far, the keyboard is awesome. feels 10x more accurate than my bionic's...

XwChriswX · 12-15-2011, 07:52 PM

How much is it, did you notice at the store?

HKYStormFront · 12-15-2011, 07:58 PM

it was on sale today for $250 at the store i was at, it was $300 normal "2 year contract" price which is on par with all the other 4G phones.

Hmm, I wonder if I should go get it and renew my contract and just get an SC number now... My current contract comes up for 'free upgrade' in March... that's why I'm like

They are probably doing early upgrades because holiday season.

I'm gonna stop by there tomorrow and talk details with them. I need to get an updated number anyways, so I might just go ahead and start a new contract now. We shall see, it depends on if they have one in the store or not.

Are you all seriously having a conversation on this thread when you live in the same house?

My nexus should be delivered in the next hour. And my friend brought me a fully charged battery so I can play with it as soon as it arrives. Winning!

HKYStormFront · 12-15-2011, 08:10 PM

then i'd wait till march, i'm sure there will be something else out by then

XwChriswX · 12-15-2011, 08:10 PM

But im impatiennnnnnnttttt!!

HKYStormFront · 12-16-2011, 11:45 AM

chris went ahead and got the nexus today

they were having the extended batteries on sale from $50 down to $25 so we both went ahead and got them. comes with a replacement plate for the back to accommodate the new battery that looks just like the one that comes on it originally and it doesn't really add any thickness to the phone at all.

Nice!

I having so much fun with mine.

My buddy picked up the ext battery too. Can you really tell a difference? I know the rating is like 1850 to 2100 so it's not a huge difference but worth it if you get an extra couple of hours of standby time.

Dudes I just picked up a new Motorola Startak.. This thing is super small and bad arss.. I can text two people at once now, lol....

Hey I just got rid of my verizon 3g card and replaced it with an att&t 4g card for my laptop. Anyone else have att&t service. If so is it worth a crap. By combining everything with my business it saved me almost $200 per month so I figured it was worth it.
