This is terrible advice. Don't buy something that isn't popular? Really? If I had gone by that rule I'd never have bought my HD2 or my Evo View & I'd have missed out on two excellent devices. Just because something is popular doesn't mean it's the best.
Here's some advice that everyone can follow- do your research, go to the store & play with different devices, and buy whichever one you like best.

Well, I don't think thats a good advice, my advice is before buying a phone like the galaxy s2, look for issues about it in the internet and try it out before you buy it.
I regret saying that Engadget's article about the screen issue wasn't that noticeable and they had it on a really dark place etc. Now i'm noticing that every darn day.

Not to mention its XDA. All I used to see was douches all over these forums. The guy who said "Hurp durpy shouldn't be here", ok still no need to just talk **** at the guy. First of all its just a phone, their not important whatsoever. Just because we are Android users doesn't mean we go on hating every Iphone user. Their are some that *gasp* are not fanboys of their crappy products.
I'll do it pm me. The gs3 is a little laggy for my taste and the ui is very cluttered and cartoonish. I prefer the smootheness of iOS and perfect synchronization across products. Also this phone feels way too cheap, like its a toy. Screen is really nice though, but then again so is the iPhones but just a little smaller.

How about an insured owner that puts in a claim for a new rocket? That's the scenario that worries me if the injunction goes through
Still nothing. Insurance claims would still be honored. This would only be for new sales.
There's a slight difference, if the phone is discontinued they will provide you with a similar or upgraded phone.
This happened to 1 of the phones on my account. Put in a claim to find out they couldn't replace it with the same model but they sent me the upgraded model free of charge and was still able to keep my original upgrade date which was 6 months later.

If this goes through, I'm literally going to explode. I know Samsung will once again top Apple in the bear future. When you see an apple fan boy trying to prove that iPhones are better he/she says "just wait for the iPhone 5", but we know it won't take Samsung very long to top it. Apple makes phones only about once every two years. And the "new" phone is usually just the same phone you already had, just in a different color/with one or two additional non-groundbreaking features. Samsung is always putting out new phones, and if Samsung doesn't beat apple then HTC or Motorola will. Apple's flaw is making the same phone over ans over again so when the newest one comes out your old one is soon rendered inferior. When Samsung started making the LTE GS2, the standard GS2 still was just as durable. Samsung made the S3, and the S2 certainly isn't surpassed by it. And Samsung has a variety of phones available. With apple you only get the 1, 2, 3, or 4, but why would you get an older model iPhone? The newest one is exactly the same with an improved display and is slightly thinner.
Sorry for the rant, but this whole Apple suit has had me pissed off.

This will be overturned. The foreman was a patent holder: should not have been selected.
They also didn't even read the instructions. The damages were calculated because they wanted to punish Samsung, not compensate Apple.

Samsung makes like 10% of their sales to Apple, so its a close relationship otherwise. Although if they grew a pair, now would be a time to "complicate" the relationship because the iPhone 5 would be quite delayed, killing their sales, and some of the fan base who are looking to upgrade soon.

10% wouldn't make a huge deal to Samsung, the best thing they could do now is hit Apple where it hurts the most: cripple their iPhone 5 production without much prior notice by not selling them parts, and we'll see who the ***** is then. I wish one of Apple's supply companies would put them in their place so they can see how dependent they are on other companies even though they keep sueing them. Apple doesn't make anything on their own as far as hardware like Sammy or Moto do, so they wouldn't get very far if others started treating them the way Apple treats others, then they'd figure out how dependent they really are. Someone's knocking on the door, I better go it's probably the Apple police looking for people that don't blindly think they're great, lol.

That's going to suck if they actually ban our device.
It is not banning "our" device. If it happens, still a long shot, it will not really affect current users. They will not take your phone from you. Carriers will just have to stop selling, which probably still means they can deplete their current inventory as they have already been purchased from Samsung.

Look at it like this if they are ban from selling ,then the value if our device will go up due to the fact that u can't buy from the store anymore.
I wasn't meaning it as a problem for people with the device currently, I meant to say that I have a lot of friends my age looking and seeing all the things I do with my phone. They're all saving up to buy them and if they ban the T989 then my friends won't be able to purchase via stores.
Sammy's guys are much more smart than apple developers, we will be resting while Sammy is creating the champion phones they always have. Apple complaint about similarities. Sammy is not going to make similar phones to apple smartphone in theory. But if apple revolutionizes everything to be more convenient then Samsung must use power instead of convenience. If apple is commercial, Samsung must be the people's phone, easy enough? If apple make fast phones Samsung should be elegant or if apple makes the stable phone then same should make the surprising phone. If apple wants all the money then Samsung should have more interest in phones and their appearance for the better of the lawsuits and a efficient resolution to forward production in the next line of phones.

I know I saw an article about this and I don't know it anyone else has recently but it discussed the possibilities of manufacturers letting customers build their own device kind of how computer manufacturers do now.
I think this would be a really cool idea. I would love to just build a phone the way I want it but of course I would just throw together a phone with all the best specs
Realistically I doubt this would ever happen. It would take away control from carrier's and also manufacturers. They love having customers in the palm of their hands begging for a new device just 2-3 months after paying full retail for the one they currently own.

I agree, I've built every computer I've used for the last 15 years. I just like the aesthetic quality of Alienware's products and thought it would be nifty if they would put those design aspects towards a phone chassis and UI.
