This is why a lot of Americans are in debt, too much temptations.
[Off-topic] hechoen:
Yep. Unless you can turn that temptation into profit. If your car loans are say 5000 at 5% then it makes sense to take out a "home improvement" loan at 3% for 5000. Pay off the car loans with it. Then just pay it back in the same time you would have paid back the car loan. Let's say that is two years. After paying off the "home improvement" loan you have a net savings off 200 bucks. Have a really nice dinner on the bank. It doesn't seem like a lot but you get the idea. Plus it has the added bonus of making the credit companies think you paid off two loans. That's how big business does it so why can't we?
[Off-topic] garydv2002:
Yea I thought about that getting the home improvement loan and paying everyone else off but then again I think if something happens and I couldn't pay it like no income for a while or something I had much rather lose my car than my home. It would be too crowded sleeping in a vehicle with 3 farting, burping teenagers lol....

[Off-topic] Brad.S.:
Amazon had it for $175 -- then $289 and now $269 I believe.

A lot of people were getting AT&T and BB to price match amazon.

There is a thread in the i317 general section about a bunch of people getting AT&T to price match walmart for the black Friday price of $199..But that's over.

Quite a few people in that same thread offer great ideas on how to talk a rep from AT&T into giving you a discount.

It's worth a try.. $300 is a chunk of change.

But cheapest right now is Amazon.. If your willing to agree to their terms -- which aren't bad, but unlike best buy, they require that you do not deactivate the line for about 182 days. If not, you owe them the subsidized cost.

---------- Post added at 12:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:44 PM ----------

I agree Action.. They are really good looking devices. I was thinking about one.. And started looking for cases.

Low-and-behold Otterbox makes a case for them.. And it makes the already thick phone, THICK!

Just imagine.. That phone would never die, being a Nokia with an Otterbox.

To Garydv i believe it was you that said stay away from hp... The reason you see so many is the the law of volumes more hps were sold than most other brands as they were on top so ie numbers of broken hps seems worse than other brands but the ratio should be about the same, sold: broken

And your right gateway, Emachine, and Acer are pretty bad ill give you that one

Nexus 4 is a beautiful device nice ROMs, straight aosp, what more could you ask for. Plus if you're worried about lg and build quality don't be because this thing looks and feels perfect. I'd recommend it to anyone :D
[Off-topic] T.J. Bender:
I love my Note 2. I have not touched my iPad since purchasing it (except to turn the thing off and put it downstairs for my wife to use while watching TV), and I've only had to take my laptop on one business trip (of four) since getting a Bluetooth keyboard for the N2. It's replaced literally 3/4ths of the technological equipment I use on a daily basis--nothing will ever replace my old reliable desktop for gaming.

I can't get behind the Nexus 4. Too many compromises were made to get it to the price point it's at, plus it's made by Lousy Garbage (LG). The new Xperias look sexy, no two ways about that, but I think the GS4 is a wait that may extend into the summer. No new iPhones until fall, and no rival manufacturer has produced anything that's really come close to toppling the GS3's home run in the sales department. In short, Samsung's got no reason to rush a GS4 to market when the GS3's still dominating the Android playing field. I suspect they'll wait until June or July, then release something truly outstanding. If you're up for the wait, I'd go that way.
[Off-topic] BaconStep:
Wait for the s4. If it fails then go for a Z/ZL if its on att by then.
[Off-topic] MikeySmikey:
The Nexus 4 is indeed nice. It looks fantastic, and the fact that LG makes it doesn't bother me. What does bother me is the lack of LTE and expandable storage. It's almost enough to make me not get it, but idk.

The Note 2 so far is what I'm leaning more towards. It outshines the S3 in all aspects as far as I'm concerned. Plus the added feature of the S-Pen and related apps is a big turn on. Oddly enough, even though it's screen is bigger than its predecessor, it feels very comfortable in the hand. There's only one thing that's making me consider waiting...

The Galaxy S 4. This one is a toss up. There's rumors about this and that but nothing confirmed. The only thing that's making me consider waiting and not getting the Note 2 is the fact that we all know the screen density and ppi will be far greater than the 320 and 267 of the Nexus 4 and Note 2 respectively. The DROID DNA is already sporting 400 ppi, which is well above that of the iPhone 5's 326. Sony claimed the Experia Z / ZL will have around 440 ppi.

Idk, choices are getting harder to make as all the new devices continue to get better than the last.

[Off-topic] MikeySmikey:
I have 2 upgrades available now, been sitting on them for a couple months, and I'll have another one come June. I may end up waiting til the SXz is released and make my decision then. For some reason I doubt the GS4 is going to impress me much unless it has the flexible OLED Samsung unveiled at CES and can do some pretty cool stuff. Really, the only thing that will sell me on the GS4 is if it packs their 8 core processor, has the flexible screen and still manages to provide similar battery life that the current devices deliver. If it's anything less then I'll probably have to pass. I will say this, if on release the SXz is anything like they say it'll be I'll probably end up having one, but only time will tell.
