[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lawguy:
Two days ago, I checked Best Buy online all every store in my area had them in stock. Yesterday, none did. My guess is that there will be some kind of sale.

Playbooks were recently sold for $200, I bet the same will happen with Flyers.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] echaru:
I think you have to buy a HP PC to go with the $200 playbook.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] thetruth1983:
You are thinking about the HP touchpad. The playbook can be bought right now for $200 out the door.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] echaru:
You are right. $200 is such a good price. And it's better than Kindle Fire.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lawguy:
Right. I own a Playbook too and the Flyer is a much better tablet at the moment but the Playbook has some advantages too and MIGHT get better over time.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] GrandAdmiral:
Has RIM released the update to allow you to run Android completely on it? That was the reason I didn't get it in the first place (other than it being a crackberry).

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
Playbook is nice spec but I would not buy it if you desire updates. If you are happy as is, go for it
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lrs421:
I considered the playbook but no kindle or nook apps is a no go for me.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lawguy:
There is an open beta that lets you install Android Apps.

There are limitiations. Anything that was developed using the Android SDK won't work. Probably about 50% of Android Apps work. Kindle works. At this point, I would not buy a Playbook thinking that you can run the Android Apps that you want to though. Many won't work.

RIM's appworld is actually starting to fill out with some decent apps. EA games like Madden. Gameloft games.

The Kindle HTML5 Web App also works.

There have been plently of updates but none of them have expanded the feature set much. There is a big update scheduled for February that will bring a lot of new features. If this goes off as planned, the Playbook will be pretty competitive with Android and iOS.

I paid full price and feel screwed but if you can get one for $200, I think its worth the risk. the Playbook OS is really fast and fun to use. Hopefully one day you can do alot with it. :D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
It is a limited platform with few users and a device who's future is uncertain. not to mention rim is struggling mightily
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lawguy:
All true! My point is that for $200 it might be worth seeing how it plays out.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] thetruth1983:
I bought a playbook for $199 and I do have to say that the multi-tasking and internet browser is unmatched in regards to other tablets. Part of the reason is that it was designed from the ground up with tablets in mind. Unfortunately, it is missing features such as android apps, email, and a kindle app. I put it back in the box for now and will continue to use my flyer for now. I will play with it again in February to see if the promised update makes this tablet more usable for me (I don't have a BB phone so I can't use the link feature).
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] nfrees114:
So I was looking at this, can you use this via wifi? Is it the same as the Flyer just with larger SD storage? I just notice is says 4g, don't those usually need a data plan of some sort to run? Where as the Flyer has the wifi and the 3g model and the best buy one was just a wifi so it didn't need a service contract. I just don't want to buy this and then have to have a plan for it rather than just wifi.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lrs421:
You dont "need" a data plan you could just run it wifi. The Flyer and View are not exactly the same though. The roms and ruu's are specific, in that regard the flyer gets a bit more love. I also wouldn't be shocked to see the Flyer get the official update to HC before the View does. No carrier testing involved.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] nfrees114:
Thanks for the info lrs421. So I think I'll pass on that then... I called Best Buy because I ordered one yesterday and it said it was in stock online. then today looked at my order and it said backordered. When I called they said It was BO for up to 30 days but should be no longer than that. Not sure what to do, wait it out and hope i get one, or go to that tech for less and get an "open Item" one.... decisions...

Read some of the responses at the bottom of the link, Seriously some people need to get a sense of humour.

nice find. And a great advert by Samsung.
[Galaxy S II General] knightnz:
Most people tend to lose their sense of humor when fun is poked at things they own, particularly when it's an Apple product.

Unless I missed it, there's not a single Apple logo or mention of the word "Apple" or "iPhone" in the ad. And as to all the sad people who are saying "waah, don't mock another companies product", um, "Mac Vs PC" ads anyone?

I thought it was simple and amusing.
[Galaxy S II General] Devhux:
Agreed. With how often Apple pokes fun at other products I think it's only fair for Samsung to be allowed to do the same. Brilliant ad.

[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
Muahahaaaa, nice one! :D

And of course they are all "idiots", they just want our money, not more not less.

But in Samsungs case we're actually getting features for it, not a striped down, limited OS that not only does not use the capabilities of the hardware but even more so prevents any apps to do it as well.

But that's a different story, the ad was great.
[Galaxy S II General] poch_1421:
The ad, which was set to premiere on Facebook Tuesday evening and then hit TV on Thanksgiving, doesn’t mention Apple or the iPhone 4S by name,

but at 0:38, the sgs2 was compared side-by-side with the iphone :)

1. Get a phone, tweak it once, and use it (like 90% of us do). Flashing newer modems on a perfectly working phone is your issue, not the phone's.

2. Keep your personal decisions to yourself instead of creating a useless thread here that is more likely to attract flaming.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Brau0303:
My 2 Cents

Not really sure if the desire to constantly flash & tweak my phones is actually classified as a compulsive illness or not, but to me that's half the fun. I don't think I have any phone more than a day before it's rooted/jailbroken or otherwise cid-unlocked/no longer stock. :)

[Samsung Infuse 4G] sumeet909:
Alright, I give in.

I did a lot of tinkering in the past with other phones, but it didn't take as much time it takes with Android. However, none (Win Mobile, Nokia) provided the level of customization (ROMs) that Android does. All I wanted to communicate was that for someone considering purchasing Infuse, minor things like GPS/Snapshot/Software Upgrades require some work before you can actually get them to work. These phones are like 'mechanic cars' and it needs to be advertised this way so that people know what they are getting into. If you stay stock, your issues will outlast the useful life of your phone before you get a software upgrade/bug fix. You can see many threads here that attest to this fact.

That was my intent, I didn't communicate it well enough. Happy Modding!

Peace.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aristarh:
Hi guys, is it only me who have problems with notification sounds on Arc?

I love the phone in general but this particular feature is implemented horrible in my opinion.

There is only one notification sounds switch for all such sounds in Settings -> Sound -> Notification Ringtone.

If it's on the phone beeps every time when I get an email. This is very annoying, especially if you have many email accounts set up. If I turn it off it doesn't make any sound notification for calendar events which sucks.

Sms beeps still work when notifications are off, I don't really understand how it works and how to change it.

What do you guys do about it? Is it possible to have sms and calendar notification (better different sounds) and at the same time turn email sounds off?

Thanks.

EDIT.

Ok, I actually found what I was looking for. Sms application and calendar have their own settings for sound notifications. Haven't seen them before.

This phone is supported here on xda? becouse i see only kernel, but no roms..

How about battery, photos, videos (audio in videos) zoom ecc? And what about phone calls? wifi power? so rewiew this phone if u want XD

Will be an upgrade to ICS?

Sorry for my english.. :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Skace13:
Review

First of all welcome.To answer your question the u8800pro is a very value for money

phone it has a 5mp camera so yes photos are really nice.The battery with heavy use will last a day but moderate use you can hit up to 3 days,wifi is extremely good

and very stable,the processor is very fast and responsive and with a minimum overclock it really flies.Browsing is excellent on this phone and it supports flash which puts the iphone to shame;).Now quality build is very high and comparing it to the ideos x5 simple its even higher(i used to own it too).The screen although its not amoled, its of the highest standard,3.8 inches and with very high resolution and ppi.Signal is super i have never dropped a call and i make a lot of phone calls during the day.If it didnt had that touch lag issue which i hope we can solve soon i can honestly say its better than the iphone 4.you wont regret it trust me,yeah it is supported by xda but because its a new phone we havent got custom roms yet the factory rom is preety good though.as for the upgade i dont know but huawei upgraded to 2.3 really fast but i guess we could get a custom rom with ICS.Hope i helped you.:D
