    Does anyone hate the new 18:9 screen ratio as much as I do ??

    The old standard 16:9(or 16:10) was much better. I have a S7 edge now and compared to the S8+, the S8+ is barely wider than the S7e. So basically if I upgrade to the S8+, I'm only gaining extra real estate length wise. Whats the point of that ?? It doesn't help me with everyday usage. Its...

    POLL: do the black bars around the screen bother you ??

    I mean is it a deal breaker ?? It is for me. I'm not talking about the gigantic black bar on HTC phones or even the top and bottom black bars on the Axon(other wise a great phone all around for $399). NO, I'm talking about the black bars that goes all around the screen on the LG G5, Zen 3 Deluxe...

    LG G5 rumors......anyone excited ????

    This is a latest rendering of the phone and I'm excited. LG hasn't done anything meaningful since the G2 and the G5 looks like it has the smallest bezels of any phone. I haven't upgraded in 2 years and this past Christmas I got my wife a Note 5 and almost got one myself but I told myself to...

    92 yr old slams into 9 cars in a parking lot. No ticket was given(VIDEO).

    He said his foot got stuck in the gas pedal. The police say that it was accidental so no ticket was given. All I can say is WTF !!! You can see in the video the car went back and forth. How in the hell was he able to shift it forward and reverse if his foot was still on the gas. I'm...

    If you are a T-mobile user, go to upgrade and you might get this for $16.80 x 24 months. It say that you can pay it all for $403 but when you do it shows $499+tax=shipping. Installments will get you $403+ tax shipping. This is a hell of a deal considering the same 32mb Nexus 5 will cost you...

    Not the owner but the technician themselves. Every time I see my mom, she's always telling me how someone couldn't find a job after college and is doing nails and how much they are making. (I'm Vietnamese of course). I got tired of her story telling and asked her how much she think they are...

    Whats the point of Google marketing the Nexus 4 for $299/$349 ??

    When its impossible to get one...... By the time you're able to get one, it might be 3-4 months from now. Don't try to sell something at a price point that you can't fulfill. The Nexus 4 8gb is listed 7-8 weeks and I doubt you can even get that. The 16gb is 2-3 weeks but you can't even add...

    Just a random story story of me trying to upgrade my phone at Wal-Mart.

    They have the lowest price of $148 for a T-mobile SG3. I had gotten my wife a white one as an anniversary present 2 days ago. I drove to Walmart tonight to get a blue SG3 as a matching set for me. Long story short, they wouldn't let me get one because I didn't have a valid ID. I had lost my DL...
