[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
I've never noticed an issue with the display. Sure, I can see pixels if I look really close... and when quickly scrolling, it gets kinda blurry.

Still, I had the HTC Hero S (US Cellular's equivalent of you Sprint folks' HTC Evo Design 4G... but without the 4G) for six days, and my wife got the Electrify, and after seeing her screen, I traded. Hero S/Evo Design has the same number of pixels, but a smaller (4.0") screen. It had a very nice screen, but I wanted a bigger one. And when I got my Electrify, it just felt like the right phone.

I've seen Samsung's AMOLED screens. They aren't bad, but they aren't a selling point, to me. My last phone was a Samsung, and the call and reception quality going from Samsung to Motorola was huge, and the battery life isn't bad, either.
[Motorola Photon 4G] willysp:
Good post.

I moved from the EVO to EVO 4G to Photon. From reading reviews at time I considered the Photon, I was fully prepared to hate the pentile screen. But, my eyes just plain did not see the pentile pixelation (from reading posts at the time, some peoples' eyes saw it, some didn't). I spent an hour in the store before buying the Photon.

During my return window, the Samsung Epic came out with larger screen (physically, but lower-res). Back to the store I go - I found the Sammy's screen to be way over-saturated wrt colors, and washed out in the sun.

Newegg currently has new dock for 129.99, refurbished for 119.99

They also have refurbished TF101 for 289.99. The sale started just today.

Amazon has new dock for 124.06. "Used - Very good" for 112.89 and "used - like new" for 115.38

If you are going to buy used, get the ones being sold directly by Amazon(aka eligible for free shipping or Prime) as Amazon has amazing return policy and quality guarantee on even used items.

"Used - Like New" is supposed to be in perfect physical condition according to Amazon's own definition of it. If what you receive isn't in perfect physical condition, even a little scratch, call up Amazon and they will give you a partial refund to make up for it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] McDeadagain:
www.bhphotovideo.com is doing even better. I got my used TF101 for $250 and the keyboard dock for $116 new.

They also have the TF101 new for $350 which is the best price I've seen for a new one.

Used has a 30 day return, 90 day warranty.

Just ordered my dock of the AAFES exchange website, usually 145 but a 17 percent April 1st coupon brought it down to 120.35. Pretty good deal if your eligible or know someone who is in the military. BTW the coupon is site wide but the only Transformer things they carry is the dock and a case
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] McDeadagain:
Or, like I said above, you could get it for $117 with free shipping, just need to be breathing to be eligible.

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] horndroid:
Yea that's probably the best price for a brand new dock(other than ebay) but it really depends on where you live. B&H's free shipping would be incredibly slow for me since it has to go from NY to CA.

I get free 2 day shipping at both NewEgg and Amazon but I prefer Amazon cuz of no tax lol.

Saving a few bucks is not worth waiting a week for it.

Makes sense. I get it in two days because I'm east coast.

[General Questions and Answers] hengsheng120:
My experience of undervolting reflects what is widely said, as you undervolt more and more, the device becomes less and less stable, and the battery drain become more difficult to measure in battery monitor. The only plus side is that there is less heat produced.

I noticed that extreme undervolting (using least stable voltage possible on all clock speeds) does decrease battery drain, but only in certain circumstances. When i undervolt and underclock during gaming, the current comsumption decreases dramatically (40~60%) compared to standard voltages. However, when i try to use internet/data on wifi, 3g or 2g on undervolt+underclock, the opposite effect happens, and a lot more current is drawn and the battery life is dramatically reduced. This affects the standby time of the phone the most (even with no data). The theory is that because more power must be used (during radio data transmission and to maintain radio signal), less voltage means more current is drawn. However, other people have said that is not true. In phone calls however, undervolt/underclock doesn't seem to change the current drawn much.

Since I browse the internet on my phone all the time, my battery sucks when I undervolt. So I'm thinking that it's only better to undervolt if you have the phone on all the time only game all the time and have the phone in airplane mode.

I only have undervolted one phone, the HD2, but I would like to know what are you experiencing in terms of undervolting your phone? Do the things I said above happen on other devices?

If it had an Apple logo on the back it would be praised by Gizmodo as revolutionary and amazing. iGiz generally has pro-Apple bias in most of what it writes (I've noticed this with the TechBlock as well, especially if you've ever listened to their podcast).

Just different opinions and preferences. Size...maybe a bit big for a phone but remeber when the first iphone came out 3.5 inches...people were saying how big the screen was. As for fitting in pockets...ive never had a problem with it in my skinny jeans. It might be big but its thin enough not to bulge out. Its funny how reviewers cry about how big IT is...you dont see Kim Kardashian complaining ;) (HINT: the guys she dated)

-Once you go NOTE, you'd say 4 inches a Joke
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] billzilla2000:
There's a difference between not liking something (and coming up with valid reasons why it doesn't work, either for you or others) and writing blatant flamebait that insults buyers of the phone and uses nothing but taunting comical analogies without tangible points about what's actually wrong with the phone. People complaining about the Wacom accuracy simply don't know how to hold a Wacom pen. Anyone with Bamboo or Intuos pad experience can attest that there's a learning curve to keeping the stylus properly oriented.

Another similar article is PCMAG's joke of a write-up. The author just expounds endlessly with amusing (to him) analogies and various useless descriptive phrases like 'unfortunate tweener', 'impractical size' and goes on to (multiple times) expound the useless Livescribe Echo Pen over taking notes on your phone, because you should carry multiple (sponsored) devices. He even claims you can't use the screen one-handed at all (not true, and I have small hands) and that he can't reach the back button while holding the phone, also highly unlikely.

There seems an odd proliferation of highly opinionated smear-type articles out there, based on the fact that some reviewers just seem determined to slam the device and make hay out of things that would be revealed to anyone using the phone for more than a few minutes as total non-issues. Meanwhile, the actual real drawbacks go unnoticed and ignored, such as slow charging, short battery life, black crush, high temps, lag, etc. I'd guess all the authors posting these superficial, inaccurate dismissals of the Note are diehard iPhone users. Just a hunch.

Apple has paid off media before, I wouldn't be surprised if they were engaged in active media control/bribery here. They certainly have the money to do it. How else do you explain such 'WTF' statements as this: 'I just don't think the world needs the Galaxy Note.'

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] littlewierdo:
While I am not familiar with Giz's articles, I do have to ask the question...

Is it ok for someone to hate something you like?

I love my Note but when I want a good laugh, I can hand my phone to my 4 foot 9 friend my Note who cant even hold the thing with one hand. In fact, she has trouble with the Galaxy S2.

Is there anything wrong with IOS users?

Android and IOS isnt a war, its a user preference. I see just as much bias from Android users as I do from tech blogs.

What tech blog that doesnt have some form of Android in its name isnt always giving kudos to Apple?

I listen to alot of Twit.tv podcasts the bias is pretty evident. I listen to gaming podcasts where if any portable gaming is talked about on something that isnt a Sony / Nintendo product, its on the Ipad.

The bias is everywhere and we the reader should be in tune to see that. Everyone knows that CNN/MSNBC is biased to the left and Fox is biased to the right, meaning that anything we watch on these networks has to be taken with that in mind. Tech reporting is no different and blackballing someone or a network / website because they are biased or because you dont agree seems rather close minded - ie. you'd rather listen to those that agree with you meaning that you are (possibly) unwilling to filter out or hear opinions that dont line up with your own.

I dont always agree with Leo Laportes view points (host of many of Twit.tv podcasts), nor Tom on TNT but I do listen because I like the style.

I have learned to listen to the information and opinions given and make my own decision, not to have my decision made for me.

Just because someone doesnt like your device or because someone has a clear bias doesnt invalidate their opinion.

We all have bias's, its whether we can keep an open enough mind to consider what others have to say, even when it goes against your own personal bias that counts.

Now if you dont like the writing style of Giz, thats a different story...
