Don't know yet. Apparently as far as we could tell the old lady didn't get cited for running red because nobody witnessed it except for us (passengers). Cops didn't even bother to get our statement just my husband. The lady was incoherent and was taken to the hospital. So what our agent is telling us we are prolly gonna have to fight it in court if there is no citation coz its gonna be a he said she said thing. Ah.... life.

[Off-topic] -Graff-:
Apple's problem is a very simple one to understand. Especially when compared to almost any Android device. Apple Inc makes not only the software for the phone but the device hardware as well. While android software is developed by Google there's only a few devices that are also manufactured by Google. If Google wants to sell any hardware they have forced themselves (as well as the rest of the entire market) to produce the most reliable and well designed phone possible. Especially if they want resales and a recurring customer base. Now since Apple has no real device manufacturer competition they have developed their customer base by advertising and marketing, being super-duper hip, and bringing a refined version of the "social experience" to their users. Because of this they have no real incentive to make any sort of reliable device. Apple has released hardware that they built specifically to fail. Drop it once and it breaks. Then you will go out and buy a new iPhone because that's exactly what you've been brainwashed to do by the advertising and mass media of which Apple controls a large percentage. This means that Apple actually has every reason to make sure your device doesn't last. That's how they'll keep making money off of the "fanboys" who are really just people who think the best is what the tv tells them is the best. I've seen it happen too many times. My girlfriend's old 3G kept asking her to update until it killed itself. Now she has a 4S.

Tl;dr if you're dumb enough to buy iPhone get a really nice case.

My 3gs still works. It's been 4 years... so it really depends on how rough you treat your phone and how you use it. I think people who says apple fan boys are bad are as bad as the apple fan boys. It's a phone.... pick whatever floats your boat.

As for me, I thought about going back to apple earlier this year. I think my general expeeience with it wasn't as horrible as everyone would like to imagine. It works for my basic needs emails calls and text. It works right out of the box. Unlike Android you have to be a little bit more tech savvy. But I ultimately decided to get a note2 because of the price and all the new upgrades.

I'm with you there, buddy. I think baseball is the most abysmal sport to watch (especially on TV, at least at the stadium it's a little different) but I could play nine innings any day of the week.

[Off-topic] spitfire2425:
I felt the same way when I was 15, the only thing stopping you is yourself. I'm not the smartest person and I'm not in shape at all. Just keep it in mind and do some research, after you read all the benefits you may change your mind or at least keep it as an option.
[Off-topic] occupational_hazard:
I agree. Also with the Navy. Both branches offer good technical training or whatever else. My brother started out as a welder in the navy, after he was officially a discharged seaman(pun intended) he took a job as a Non-destructive testing engineer/QA welding inspector. Then turned it into supervisor a few months after that.

Im not trying to sound like a recruiting pamplet, but its not a bad option for hands on technology and get paid to be trained to use it at the same time.

The choice is yours and needs more than one night of thought put into it.

But that's the thing.. they all had TOOLS created for them by the time they had the device AND picked a popular one. We had to figure stuff out on our own over here since the rocket initially had very little dev action.

Being a relatively new user to Android, skyrocket being my first phone, the S4 forums are really hard to find good accurate information.

Some of those threads are almost like a stream of consciousness and have me wonder what the heck is going on! Which leads to lots of confusion and ultimately people asking to have their hand held due to fear of bricking their phone.

I think that the skyrocket community has been great and I still believe that we have some incredible devs still working hard to keep this phone as quick and snappy as the day it came off the line.
