5" screen wtf? That is huge.

jtksu · « **Reply #1201 on:** October 03, 2011, 05:58:32 PM »

eff a 5" screen, that would be one big ass phone. I'd rather have a smaller phone and just use a tablet for the stuff I'd want to do with a 5" screen.

Maybe you guys wear too tight of pants. My 4.3" is getting smaller and smaller each time I use it. eff tablets. I don't have a purse to carry crap around in all the time. 5" would not be that large.

Hemmy, the nexus prime is rumored to have at least a 4.75". It's not like that is far off.

Guess my extremely large wang requires more space in my pockets.

Questions for those who regularly attend KSU football games...

A) Does your data service work worth a crap inside the stadium?
B) If yes, what carrier/phone do you have?

I know it's most likely due to network congestion but AT&T doesn't work worth a crap.

I'm on AT&T also and don't get crap for service either. I have never tried turning 3G off. Will do so next time.

The fact you think giant wangs go in pockets proves you in fact do not have a large wang.

My large wang/balls go where they want bro. Wherever they want.

"Just" iPhone 4S, but still sounding really good: http://twitter.com/#!/CNETNews

16G iPhone 4S for $199 will be tough to beat.

The 4S and 3G are both catch up revisions, IMO. Nothing new, nothing revolutionary. Just playing catch up.

Never owned a Zune, but do use the zune software for music. It's quite good.

Sprint is in a tough spot. I think that the Apple deal (mandatory purchase of 30.5M over 3 years) will hurt...and hurt bad. However, it's a deal they almost had to make no matter what given their position. They've been circling the drain for a few years - probably not long until Century Link makes a wireless play, but they've said they don't want Sprint either.

Don't believe the 30.5m deal rumor. That was for iphone 5 timed exclusivity. Obviously that's not the case.

Ya, but it was on the internet.

Don't think it was for exclusivity - I think it was to get in the iPhone game. Sprint has to find something to get moving...their operating profit margins are less than half of Verizon and ATT's. They've been bleeding out for four years. If they do pay a higher subsidy and sell their 4Ss at a cheaper price point, they could stand to gain some ground. But I think they're done. Those clowns have a made a series of bad decisions over the past decade that are finally going to pay off in the form a smoking hole in the ground.

you think sprint agreed to pay apple $30B just to sell their phone? are you on crack?

Saulbadguy · « **Reply #1219 on:** October 05, 2011, 09:16:04 AM »

i think I will get a Nexus Prime.

ya i've been waiting for the nexus prime since last spring

rumblings that it might also serve as the guts of a bigger tablet screen that the prime clicks into

Doubt Brownback is real excited about figuring out how to find 5k jobs to make up for Sprint's when they leave OP...since he made that one of his "measurables." Gather 'round the dumpster fire! http://www.businessinsider.com/sprints-investor-day-2011-10 Sprint ---->
