Ghost armor

I'm thinking of going with the ghost armor after buying some cheap screen protectors from eBay and not having much luck with them fitting correctly. I wanted opinions of this product from some of you who have it. Thanks.

I think the gal that does mine at the mall, who has been there for a couple years, day in and day out installing these, can be called somewhat of a professional. I am sure after installing thousands of these, she can qualify.

LOL are you kidding me? Yeah, maybe if you play sports and get paid to do so in the NFL or NBA. This does not stand true for the local part time kiosk worker

I know i work for a big box company and have installed over 1000 invisible style shields and i would call myself a professional. to those who doubt i ask you if im not a professional (as it pertains to this install) then who would a professional installer be, or is your point that there is no such thing?

We (self, wife, son) have it on all our devices, installed at the mall. Big ups, no complaints.

Simply put, a professional is someone who is paid for what they do. Best not to confuse that with competent, they can be mutually exclusive. And of course , the definition of an "expert" is someone who knows more and more, about less and less, until he knows everything about nothing. ;-)

T-Mobile G2X commercial sucks.. as do all their phone commercials!

Like seriously, the phone gets about 3 seconds of on-screen time and they don't even mention any of it's stand-out capabilities. The rest of the time it's the girl in the pink dress doing some cheesy script taking shots at the iPhone. It's like they forget they're trying to sell a phone and focus on the girl instead. She's pretty, but it's the phone you want to know about, not her..
They did the same type of commercials with the Samsung Vibrant and the MyTouch 4G.. Horrible commercials! They need to take a cue from Verizon or Sprint in how to advertise phones asap and their entire marketing department needs to be fired IMO.
What do you guys think?

I think they did a really good job marketing the Mytouch 3g back in the day. What they need to do is hire the team that did the commercial for Battlefield 3!!

They only push hard T-Mobile products like the mytouch 4g and now sidekick 4g

I don't know about you all, but as much as I love phones, I'm way more interested in Carly than the G2x she's holding!

i dunno where this chick came from but I want catherine zeta-jones back dammit!!!!

yea, shes not bad to look at, but overall the commercial sucks. shows some guy watching a clip of D-wade dunk. Buffers, then they talk about tmo 4g. nothing about the g2x...not that it matters to me, tmo rules where im at, so i dont care what they do for ads...

Verizon does a much better job. I've heard people say "you should get a driod" to people with other android phones. They don't get that they are all the same.

i agree with the op. seems like theyre more interested in zinging apple products instead of showing the phone off

Isn't she in rehab now?

tmobile is one odd company, or maybe its the consumer
in my local store, when the g2x came they all were wearing Sideckick tshirts, and they said that they had sold 5 times as many sidekicjks as the g2x
and they are the SAME price.....please explain that one

Google to buy Motorola Mobility

This could be huge. $12.5B and I imagine most of that is for their patents.

I guess we know who will be making the Nexus line from now on.
Edit: just read on Android Central that according to Andy Rubin the Nexus line will still be done the same way it is now, with different manufacturers bidding to be the device builder. Good news IMO.

Thats really too bad. Samsung has always been the better company for wireless. If that is the case, I was going to buy a Nexus but will now stick with the Samsung line of wireless.

Google "to buy" motorola mobility?
I thought they bought it already? I read an Engadget article on it this morning.
edit: nvm its a confirmed deal that their going to buy, they just haven't. Mistake on my fault.

So I went to a few stores today that sells att phones. I asked everyone in all 5 of the stores about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note LTE, noone even knew about it as if it will be coming out 6 years from now -.- noone knew there was one even coming out let alone the name :/ it kind of makes me sad when the consumer knows more then the sales reps. They should train more in my opinion this was just my little experiance for the day just thought I'd share. Anyone else looking forward to the note lte for att?

Nobody in a provider store is going to have even a small clue about phones they don't already stock, this should not be a shock. And if you're on xda you're a bit above the typical consumer...
There is basically no benefit in knowing about a phone you don't stock yet from a sales perspective. You can't sell what you don't have.

In-store reps definitely don't know anything. Most reps aren't like us and simply don't care. I usually come across some reps who give out good information about upcoming devices. These reps are always over the phone as they have quick access to the database. Try calling about a general question, talk to them for a bit, and when you're about to end the conversation, pop the question.

Ive sold phones for five years in three locations. I can tell you most of us know about phones as soon as they are rumors. As someone said earlier if we don't sell it we really don't care. To be honest if someone asked me about the note I would kinda just try to end it fast unless we were doing pre orders as asking me about a phone I cant sell isn't making me commission. If it is slow though I will talk about announced upcoming phones for quite awhile. Also most consumers walk in and say i want android or iphone not asking specifics

That's understandable. Wouldn't it be better to actually care and inform a consumer of an upcoming device? By informing them of said device, they might wait for it and pay the $200 with the contract. I understand you want to make some money as well but I guess from a personal standpoint I would help the person that cares as much as I do.

If they are techie I will chat with them build rapport and leave them with a business card and an appointment only if the release isn't months away. The average consumer wants what their friend has and even if a better phone comes out tomorrow won't wait.

Though by far my biggest pet peeve at work is the people who say well I saw this was coming out on _________ tech site and I know all about it where is it. Most of those people end up name dropping xda. Kinda like this "well i frequently read xda and it said this and that and they tend to be just plain wrong. I know most of us on xda aren't like that but when you hear it multiple times a week you tend to want to hull smash something end rant ha

Haha yea I understand. I never ask about a device until it's all over the internet and comfirmed by many sources. That's like calling HTC and asking about the rumored Edge.

I even tried bestbuy lol and the guys words were "our phone tech isn't here today he will be here tomorrow from 12-6" I live 40 mins away from anything so its not in my best choice to go back but anywho I go to the same att retailer when I buy my phones. They know me there and come at me quick because I don't just come in to buy a cheap pantech crossover I'm there with cash in hand and buy phones straight up xD so they are always willing to help. When I went in to buy my Sony xperia play 4g I handed her my iPhone to Bluetooth my contacts, she looked at my iPhone and her exact words were "what the F is this" it was running wp7 xD Haha but in all seriousness I think someone should be hired in the certain area. It'd be like hiring me to sell cars or ovens when I know nothing about them, I feel like they just hire anyone :/ I went to buy a computer once and the worker argued for 30 minutes that 512mb was a gigabyte :/ I shook my head and took my business elsewhere I just don't understand... sometimes I wish everyone cared about a phone as much as we do... instead of "as long as I can listen to music watch YouTube and look at porn, I don't care what it looks like or what it does" :'( I honestly just want to teach everyone for free so I don't feel so smart and dumb at the same time. anyone else feel that way?

I agree. I've perused tablets in Best Buy and after engaging the nearest 'team member' for less than 3 minutes, I realize that I know more than they do.
It's the same experience when going to the auto parts store. There are some people who can carry on informed conversation, but 90% are the type who watch fast & furious movies in awe, and know nothing about repair or maintenance or they can only look up part numbers.
Basically, lower your expectations.

This is why I get mad when I've tried many times to get a job in those kind of places to no avail because I don't seem to have any big time qualifications to my record yet if I go into any outlet store and begin talking about phones, the sales rep looks at me like I'm making up things or shocked I know anything.

I have had similar experience with applying for jobs at auto parts stores. The 'now hiring' sign is displayed for several months and the staff changes about every 3 weeks, but I never get called. For a while there was an older woman who not only knew nothing about cars but she also needed help to use the computer program to look up parts.
I finally realized that these people will work for less money than I will because I actually know what I am doing. It really is sad that people with any level of technical or mechanical ability don't actually work at the retail level because they can't get enough money.
And don't get me started on the people who work at Home Depot . .

I have no past work experiance. I'm 19 years old have been the "bad" kid because I used to be a "black magic" hacker I've gotten introuble from schools best buys and targets because of it but now I'm past all that I do phones tablets anything mobile. There is never a time when I'm in best buy that I'm back in the computer/phone area and usually an older citizen is talking to a sales Rep about which one is better and the sales Rep says well product A is $1299 with 4gb ram touchscreen is way better then product B $899 8gb ram and so on but they go by the price as the sales Rep was walking her to the register I kindly walked up and said "hello ma'am I noticed you were interested in two different so-so" the sales Rep called the manager and had me kicked out for costing him the sale xD but they wont hire me? I have long hair and look like a "druggie" I don't do drugs don't have tattoos or metal on my body but yet they hire people who are clueless

i have to say i agree not many of the people in the stores even know about the phones they have in front of them much less whats coming out.

I don't mean to overstep the rules of polite conversation but you may wish to think about your image. It isn't fair that we judge based on looks, but it happens.
*Edit - When I say looks I also means assumptions that people will make of others based on their prejudices. -*End Edit
Most recently, I applied for a job repairing projectors. During the interview they kept asking me about how well I would transition to an office environment. Completely Ridiculous! I would be working in the workshop not the office and I happened to be better dressed than any of my interviewers.
Basically, some people cannot see past their little world or people they can understand.

Man Verizon store by me they don't know anything. And they are jerks as well. Went to upgrade my moms phone and said she wouldn't get unlimited data with her Droid 3 so I just bought it from newegg called up and boom she got her unlimited data. Never going back to that store again. Hate how now you have to bring phone to store to get replaced.

Why? He likes it.. good for him he knows what he wants.
Now - @OP:
Well I think BNIB it could b like $250 ish. But just put a thread in the marketplace and ask for offers. U might find a trade for an iPhone plus cash on ur end. Put it in "Wanting to Sell" in the marketplace. Also. Craigslist people seem to overpay so put a Craigslist ad up.
Typed by ---- oh wait! I'm schizophrenic!

Also. Its up to u. Go to a vendor of the iPhone and ask to play Round with one. Or go to the Apple store. Then decide what you will like better - Android or iPhone
I'll give iOS this - it is a very smooth platform. So if that's ur thing u just want a nice screen and a very well known device with tons of well developed apps; go for it!
Typed by ---- oh wait! I'm schizophrenic!

See if Cyanogen is willing to buy your phone.

now in all seriousness....if you really want to be ahead of the pack, wait for the iphone 5 (the iphone 4s is the iphone 4 with a better camera)

If you like an iPhone, get one. Nothing wroung with it, I have an iPhone. I just bought a iPhone 4 because I got a good deal. I have so many iPhone posters from work. Your going to NEED to Jailbreak it!!! Jailbreak it. MOTHER FLUCKIN JAILBREAK IT! iPhones are pure **** with out a Jailbreak. With a jailbreak, you have root. Then there's honestly no bars holding you back. Just remember, Cydia is your broski. Remember that.

You should go with whatever will make you happy. Switching over means you have to buy all your apps over again, but otherwise if you think it will better serve you then you gotta do what's best for you.

He's saying that since you started the thread, technically speaking you are free to drag it as far off topic as you want. While taking it off topic doesn't necessarily help others cruising through the thread in the future, as the original poster it is your thread and at your discretion.
The other part was him saying you could always sell it at a later date.
