I can't believe this was even awarded to Apple as a patent. Doing a search on your mobile device is an obvious, why would the patent office ever grant it?
People should write letters to the patent office and ask that the office be investigated. They seem to be granting patents left and right to Apple.

While I don't think it's some vast conspiracy, I do admit some of the patents they've handing out recently to Apple are ridiculous. Universal search and now the vanishing scroll bar...those are both just stupid. They should be considered universal items across platforms and software. Just more patent trolling fodder for Apple.

I don't like it neither but I don't blame apple as much as the patent Office, they should have a Patten reform, is getting ridiculous now, I guess Steve Jobs really meant it when he said "boy have we patented it"

Shouldn't be charged a restock fee if it is their mistake. keep pressing the issue and escalate, being polite but firm.

Hi,
I'm not sure which section of to put this thread in, but anyways. I was at AT&T buying some screen protectors for my captivate and the salesperson told me that 2.3 is coming in a few months for the captivate. I hope this will answer some questions. Hopefully the salesperson wasn't lying. But this is good new!!! PS there is the same post in the Q&A section that I accidently posted. I meant to post in the General section.

Are you sure he said that last "for the captivate" part? I'm sure what he meant was "we'll eventually have a phone with android 2.3. It won't be the captivate, I'm just telling you now so you get your wallet ready."
My friend works for rogers up here in canada and he was saying the same thing about gingerbread. hopefully it is sometime soon within a couple of months.
Who cares where it comes from. If there's official 2.3.3 out somewhere, devs here will get their hands on it.
I'm with you

We will see. I wouldn't say give up all hope that 2.3 will ever get to us... but based on past history... don't hold your breath. Also, my experience with AT&T reps is there are a few that have a clue on Android and they are like us. coming to XDA and various blogs for their info. I don't think AT&T gives them official anything.

So, after receiving my Pebble Blue 16GB S3 on the 11th, I realized that I would much rather have the Marble White version. So I've been posting on Craigslist non-stop for a trade, so that I could avoid paying the $35 restocking fee. Well, yesterday was the last day that I could go to Verizon to switch the device with the restocking fee, and of course with my luck, all Verizon locations in the area are out of stock. They offered to order me one, but explained that they would have to send my device back, and I would be without a phone until the white one gets here.
Now, I know it's my own fault for waiting so damn long, but man. It sucks!
Return it and buy it from BestBuy. Just be sure to have Verizon put a note on your account to let you keep the unlimited data.
I personally hate BestBuy but they have the best return policy of any retail store.

It is a crazy popular phone. I suspect anything you do with it needs to be done with as much time padding as possible.
I read something about even the warranty places possibly not having enough stock to do replacements.

So I called Verizon and tried my hand at conning them into sending me a white refurb. They said that they would, but their redemption center has none in stock, and they were very limited on the blue. So I figure if I give it a month or two, I'll try back again and hopefully they'll have a few!

Couldn't help but share this article!! OMG!!
Patenting features, patenting devices, or even ideas is another thing, but this...??
You’ve read about the patent infringement claims, you’ve heard about the court wins and losses, and you’re probably pretty fed up with hearing the words “Apple” and “patent” used in the same sentence. We’ve always joked about Apple pretty much thinking they own the rights to anything square or rectangular shaped, as any product that has the potential to sell well is always accused by Apple of resembling an iPad. Well ladies and gentlemen, you’re not going to believe this, but the Cupertino company has just been granted a patent that might make take the funny out of those jokes: Apple has successfully patented a rectangle with rounded corners. I wish I could say this was a joke.
