How is this captivate related?

My wife has epic 4g on Sprint. But if she wants to post here ... she needs a captivate.

Get a captivate, with a Bluetooth keyboard

At the moment the best phone you can use on at&the with a physical keyboard is probably a desire z from bell (canada). Both my daughters are using them and love them.

Rumor has it that att will be getting a phone similar to the epic, but with better specs soon.

Rumor has it that it may be an sgsII variant. Maybe more info will be available after this evening's announcement in NY.

Iphone, because shes a woman.

it depends on what youre wife wants .
For example my wife only use the phone for send sms and read email, facebook and calls so i buy an iphone.
But if your wife do more than simple call, read email, facebook well captivate is the phone

Another $10 from Google wallet?

I recently went back to stock unrooted after using Pete's ics for a few days and went to sign into Google wallet. I got a welcome email and also received another $10 credit as if it was my first time using this which is wasn't. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm not complaing lol cause free money is free money; however, I really don't want to owe them in the end.

Spend that ten quickly before big brother find out.

Did you use the same account for Google or a different one??? Just curious why and how you got the $10 again.

Yea its the same account with the same user id. Not sure why it happened though. Maybe ill try it a few hundred more times lol.

They are supposed to do it one time only since they use a serial number from your phone but apparently it somehow was changed would be my guess between your rooted ics and unrooted roms.

I got it twice one time as well I didn't understand why but I didn't care

It gave me another ten bucks as well. I still have 10 bucks on my other phone but they are different account numbers so hopefully I have 20 bucks now.

I doubt you would owe them since its a bug on their end. I say tell us if you really can spend the $20 then we can do it 20 times to buy new pair pants. Then change our user names.

Google Wallet seems to rely on the IMEI to determine if you are a new wallet user or not, despite using the same gmail account in gwallet on multiple devices, thus giving each device $10 in their wallet.
I bought my GNex in March, and installed wallet on it sometime after that for the first time ever. Of course, I got the $10. I didn't actually get to use it until recently, simply to not encoutnering anything that used NFC payments until I began attending college in Florida- all their vending machines are NFC enabled.
Shortly after starting school, my phone began acting very odd. Something was wrong with the battery controller, not the battery itself, resulting in very odd and frustrating battery issues. Anyways, I sent my phone in, since it was still under warranty, to be replaced. Kept the same SIM card, used the same gmail account on it, all that jazz.
Well, I of course put wallet back on it. To my surprise, the free $10 was given to me, even though I signed in with the same gmail account as on the faulty phone.
So, if you ever have to send in your device for replacement, spend that money before you do because you will probably get another 10.
Hey, we didn't do anything to exploit it. It's all on Google, here. Their mistake I suppose.

I did get any free money

Who's doing Jelly Bean First?

They spent 900 bucks plus airfare to get to IO I don't think anyone will touch Jelly Bean until source is released in mid July. SDK ports are buggy as all get out and nothing more than proof of concept. We still won't have a fully functional ROM until LG releases ICS source. On the bright side, drivers should be able to be ported from ICS to JB, until GB to ICS.

i see Paul at modaco.com already has JB rom w/kitchen for the galaxy nexus the G2x versions will be uber gimped due to lg's inability to release the source to the dev community. reason why i sold my g2x for a gnex and haven't looked back.

I want to get an s2 but I have a problem spending around $400 for a used phone with the possibility of the IMEI being potentially locked due to the seller NOT paying the hardware payments for the device to Tmobile.

Galaxy Nexus is brand new from Google for $350 now. Plus, it'll be getting Jellybean officially in 2 weeks.

Holy ****, and that's with no contract attached? I opened the link but I didn't read all the way through it.
Someone needs to tell the idiots on craigs list to stop asking more than 350 for their used, potentially screwed over Nexus'.

I thought the Galaxy Nexus was sold on Tmobile's site, I guess not. Either way, will definitely look into this as my next phone.

I should have waited before buying my GNEX....*facepalm*

nope! its a nexus brand so it will get updates first since google is handling the code/updates directly. i assume google has the source for the kernel and of course resources/connections with nvidia. whereas lg just wants to sell more phones than update older ones (prev g2x owner).
thats why i love the pure google nexus phones

Haven't the previous Google direct Galaxy phones been outdated rather quickly? Maybe not outdated, but left behind in terms of OTA's and things like that?
I mean, people will argue the galaxy s2 is a better phone than Nexus...and now the s3 just came out! For one (only one?) of the only devices to come pre-packaged with ICS, it seems to lack certain functionality and features that carrier specific phones have.

There is a dude I work with who has the Galaxy Nexus and loves it, in person the thing is beautiful...probably one of the nicest phones I've seen, well, besides the white Galaxy s2. I have a thing for phones that are all white, super clean looking, and I hate putting cases on my phones.
I baby my g2x, I have one of the LG branded ones that isn't directly related to a carrier. At my desk, that thing never sits on the direct surface, only on a stack of post-its, haha.

I hate when that happens lol. Did you have an option to do a store pickup?

AFAIK Best Buy doesn't do TM in store, at least here in the Phoenix area. Can't even have it shipped to store. I paid the 3 or 4 bucks extra and got 2 day shipping, which was a surprise. Your going to love the S3.

So long

I just recently switched to a new phone too. But I miss my glacier every once and a while.

Hey just wanted to mention mine did finally come in yesterday for my S3. Pretty cool promotion honestly. I got 6 tectiles(a 5 pack plus one loose sample stuck to a postcard thing, that launched the playstore to download the official app for the textiles. I was pleasantly surprised that the sample one could be reprogrammed, and I could use "NFC Task Launcher" as opposed to the official app.

Nice! Mind sharing what state? Im in california and still haven't gotten it. Hopefully it comes sometime soon.

I got mine in today, in a nice shiny padded reflective envelope. I wanted the blue flip cover but they were out and got the orange instead.

Still waiting on mine as well. I don't mind though because it was completely free :laugh:

Every time somebody writes tectiles for some reason i read testicles..... I am sick and tired of confusion....lol
