    Want a new phone, strange requirements.

    It isn't that I'm not listening to anyone. I am only exploring every possible solution before making a decision. With that said, I've never used ebay before. So. I may try there for the first time

    Want a new phone, strange requirements.

    While I'm thinking about it just to explore a non android option. Has anyone here ever used the nokia X6? I read a few reviews complained of lag which could be fixed with an update. I'm still contemplating E71 seeing as I know what I am getting through and through..

    Want a new phone, strange requirements.

    People have a habit of sending me pictures and video's over MMS which can take quite some time over edge :/ Notice I'm considering a few phones without the 3g band. Part of the reason I would prefer a smartphone is they usually come with wifi these days. So although I wouldn't be able to...

    Want a new phone, strange requirements.

    Well.. A lot less judgment than I was expecting. Actually, I jumped out of the nest a long time ago.. And was away from home for quite some time. It was some of the happiest times of my life. I had a dorm for 1 year and lived with my girlfriend for 2 years. Pay all the bills for the...

    Want a new phone, strange requirements.

    There is a reason I chose to not explain the situation in detail to begin with :\ Yes, I'm aware I am 22 and yes, I am totally aware I could go get my own contract or a prepaid. All I can say is you have to walk a mile in someone elses shoes :oops: @sjwaste the only problem is I still have...

    Want a new phone, strange requirements.

    lol. When the At&t nexus one was out I was going to pay full price for one because, people were getting away with a 10$ dumb phone data plan on it. I was even willing to pay the data plan. They refuse to let me. "Data plans are a waste of money and unneeded." I understand smartphones are by...

    Want a new phone, strange requirements.

    lol. I would enjoy it a lot more if they weren't blatant hypocrites. Or had a utilitarian bone in their body. At anyrate. I must jsut stick with the huawei its got wifi anyway.. plus froyo 2.2. Just hope it won't be too bad to send text on it.

    Want a new phone, strange requirements.

    as much as thats a nice deal.. its still not quite as cheap as paying 9.99$ to stay on my families plan which already has unlimited text and more minutes than I can use.

    Want a new phone, strange requirements.

    So.... I need a new phone. Here is the catch. If it is a smartphone, it can't be at&t branded. (no data plan). No upgrade, and I want to try and keep it under 300$. I'm considering the huawei ideos for 199$ on newegg.. the problems I possibly see with it are. A. no 3g bands.. B. I don't know...

    Recommendation for after market cooler?

    So building a rig with nzxt hades and the Corsair H50 has been highly recommended on a few other forms. I will be using a 955 BE as my choice of processor. From what I've gathered this will cool as well as anything else.

    Att and Nexus one?

    I know at&t claims "all smartphones require data".. However, when you go to the list of "phones requiring data packages" the nexus one is not listed... Any chance I could get the 10$ unlimited data? I've read a number of places people are doing just that.. I mean.. one of the biggest defenses...

    Nzxt hades

    Has anyone used this case? I would like to know how well it performs if you happen to use it. Preferably what CPU do you have/are you over clocking and what kind of cooling you get at different clock speeds.

    The recent fermi review

    Honestly you sold me with the upgraded cooler. if I can get it on sale (tax returns suck).. I will save 60$ now and in a few months get another one to crossfire and save another 40$ minimum... Plus the upgraded cooler is a real deal sealer for me seeing as I'm already worried about heat issues.

    The recent fermi review

    I was wondering if any of the games too into account physx being used.. I must admit while the 480 is interesting.. my eyes are on the 470 and 5850... With everything I have seen in the reviews.. the 5850 is constantly on the 470's heels with lower temps/noise (noise isn't important.. but, a...

    When does cpu begn to bottleneck?

    Because a single 5870 is 100$ more expensive now? and because I am getting tax returns soon which pays for my 5850 now.. and my birthday is coming up in a few months.. At which point I can get another 5850 and crossfire. No doubt a 5870 is sufficient for most games on the market.. Hell a 5850...

    When does cpu begn to bottleneck?

    I am looking into getting a new desktop soon. One issue I see people going back and forth on is a cpu bottleneck on the gpu. I am hoping to run a crossfire 5850. I would stick to a single 5850 if it means going with an amd 955 I won't be able to get much benefit from crossfiring.. However, i...

    I've been reading mixed commentary

    I was actually looking at the antec one right before I clicked the suggestion forit.. I think its the way I am gunna go.. i just hate price juggling. I never want to make any snap decisions about components.. but, the way the market fluxuates it seems almost pointless to try and pre determine...

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-067-_-Product would that perhaps be a better alternative? I know little to nothing about psu's unforutnately.

    I've been reading mixed commentary

    would the power supply in this build run two 5850's? http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/Pu...umber=11934272 Idealistically overclocking would be involved with that system. ALthough SLI would not be an issue when the comp is first purchased attaining another 5850 would be a short term...

    Any idea where I can get more benchmarks?

    I recently read a processor comparison. Two of the processors are I3 530 Clarkdale and the AMD Phenom II 965. The review http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=3724&p=5 Was pretty good and considering its length I understand some issues don't get put in, aren't thought about, or...
