    Verizon Smart Rewards

    Have you seen this crap? Ok, first you have to opt in to them collecting your info for targeted advertising. And, Ok... so we're pretending the whole NSA thing didn't happen... Anyway, I opted in just so I could see it. You get "points", 10 for every dollar you spent on your bill and so on...

    Thinking about leaving VZW for T-Mobile

    VZW is a wee bit expressive, even with my unlimited data plan. I saw today that I can get an unthrottled unlimited data plan from T-Mobile for $70/mo and an additional unlimited line for $50/mo. The website says $120 for two lines, but what is it really after tax and other random fees? On VZW...

    Running home entertainment and internet through phone.

    I have unlimited data through Verizon, and AT&T U-verse home internet and TV. Today, my internet was running too slow, so I tethered through my phone, and it was blazing. Checked speedtest.net on my PC home Wi-Fi and phone tether, and the phone was nearly twice as fast. I've read about others...

    No Nexus 5 for Verizon

    In case you didn't already know. But, guess which CDMA carrier will have a Nexus 5. Sprint. You mad bro? I'm about ready to sell my unlimited data plan and say farewell. What was the last flagship worth buying VZW had? S4, then the HTC One they released 6 months late with HTCdev blocked, and...

    With the new ad, this phone is back in my "I need" section.

    Lately I've been thinking S4 or HTC One. I'm on VZW, so I wanted to wait til the One was released to decide. I pretty much brushed off the Moto X when those leaked specs showed something less than spectacular. But what do they mean when they say a phone designed by you? If it were just the...

    Root [VZW] How do you root this thing?

    Hopefully the bootloader is unlockable. If I can't flash an AOSP ROM on here, then I'm not buying one

    So... Is anyone going to mention the FISA, NSA, and Verizon?

    I mean, I know Verizon isn't the only provider who's been feeding info to the government following secret court orders. But since Verizon is the only one in the spotlight, this really can't be good for business.

    Questions about buying an unlimited plan off eBay

    I think I'm going to take the plunge and pay $200 to get an unlimited data line. From what I understand, the way it works is I do an assumption of liability, meaning I take charge of the line they're selling, and it gets put on my account. Now my question is, can I drop my limited data line...

    What's with these 16GB phones Verizon keeps pushing?

    I got a smartphone after Verizon stopped offering unlimited data, and I have been up for an upgrade since March. I was ready to get a DNA, and was about to buy once I heard they unlocked the bootloader, went into a store, and they only have a 16GB version. Wth. So, I'm reading across the...

    Root [Verizon] Will this have a locked bootloader on Verizon?

    I'm considering this phone. Currently on the GNex. First smartphone was completely locked down and filled with carrier bloat. So having a Galaxy Nexus that's completely open and developer friendly, I don't ever want another locked down phone again.

    English grammar question.

    Last night my wife wanted to watch a movie, and I said "By the time we went to bed, it will be 2:30." My wife tried to say that's improper grammar, so I looked it up and its called a future perfect. Putting a past tense in a future statement. She still argues that it's improper, and I can't find...

    The Innocence of Muslims video

    Obviously this video was made to incite people. I've watched it and it was of horrible quality and the inflammatory statements about Islam and Mohammed were dubbed after. I would like to talk about freedom of speech. Is there a limit? The obvious limits are yelling fire in a crowded theater...

    Switching from 3G to 4G phone

    My wife has the iPhone 4S with unlimited data. I jumped into the smartphone world late in the game and never got unlimited data. Anyways, my question is, when my wife upgrades to a 4G phone, will she be able to keep unlimited data? When I went from a 3G phone to 4G, Verizon told me I had to get...

    I went to two different Walgreen's and they have this blue transparent plastic thing with the paypass symbol above the area where you swipe your card, but no lights, wires, or ports on it.
