Funny but sad. The iSheep saga. - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

As an ex iPhone user, I hope to God I was never this blind. This video can apply to all products and fans, but it definitely doesn't help the case of the iOS inclined, lol.
Not sure if I should laugh or cry (out of pity).

Go ahead and laugh. Just goes to show how stuck up and dumb that community is. I love the girl has the exact same phone in her hand and still thinks the other is new

Guaranteed you can give any one of those people a GS2 and tell them it's a GS3 and get the same type of responses. Sure it's funny because it's an iPhone but there are stupid android users too. I can point out more than a handful that post on XDA, that's for sure.

Yeah an iPhone user wouldn't know the difference between a GS II and III, but I think that a GS II user would. As an android user I couldn't tell you the difference between an iPhone 4 and 4S just by looking at them. (Okay that last part is a joke, but I do think android users are used to the new model looking different than the current model)

When you say "android users" you are grouping everyone together and it doesn't work that way. Same thing with "iphone users". There are moronic iPhone users and Android users alike, which is the point I was making earlier. I would bet my week's paycheck that the people in Jimmy Kimmel's video were the exception and not the rule when it comes to falling for that prank. Of course they aren't going to show the people who knew it was a 4S because that wouldn't be funny.

Total time was 6 hours Thank you all for the kind replies
Next question... how much?
Your wife should make these and sell them on eBay, considering the time spent in making one of these, you should charge what you think is right
She could make cool pouches for phones (i.e. htc desire and nexus one as they practically have the same dimensions), less time consuming and they would definately sell like hotcakes!

I just asked the wife if she would be up for making another one and she said yes . She said she would do it for $40 plus $10 for shipping . Not a bad price for hand made and 6 hours IMO I take paypal if interested too .

I've heard they were going to put out this magazine before, and to me, its pretty much a joke of a magazine.
Let me give you an excerpt from the first page which made me laugh:
"In a world full of roadblocks, rules and lame limitations, Droid has none. It empowers you to do life on your terms, in your own time."
I'm sure you are all laughing right now.
Lets see, Droid has no limitations..... I'm assuming they aren't including forced bloatware and forced custom UI's? Right....
"It empowers you to do life on your terms..."
Obviously except for not being able to remove apps you don't want on your phone, or to choose to have a pure Android experience without Motoblurcrap or Sense or any other (I don't really mind Sense, but it's the principle!)
Other than that, the magazine is just trying to sell you accessories and phones. [/QUOTE]
The only reason it was mailed out.
Doc
It was a complete joke and nothing at all like what they were trying to promote before it came out. Marketing bull.
Truly scary would be a magazine titled "BlackBerry!" Can you imagine the sorry crap an issue of that would contain?!
Magazines still exist? Damn.

Burning S3 issue solved!

Engadget recently made an article showing that the reason that the Galaxy S3 burned was because the owner put it on the microwave because it got wet, Silly guy.

How is the s4 a minor update? Its packing a octocore all you consumers is the same. If they came out with a 200mhz phone 1mb ram an sf 3.7inch screen just because it looks pretty you would say its the best phone in the world its just not about looks its about what it packs under the hood like Samsung good luck waiting a year to unlock your boot loader while us Samsung people is running the latest version of android LOL

I don't think you understand what HTC means to smartphones and Xda-developers. HTC was the company that started it all long before Apple came out with the I-phone. I am not sure how old you are but way back in the day around the 2004-2005 era. We used to have these things PDAs (personal digital assistant). Basically it was the first hand held computers. Well HTC came along and reinvented the phone world with something similar to these PDAs. What HTC did was take the idea of a PDA and build it into a phone. On top of that they thought it would be a good Idea to add a data connection to this new "smart" phone that way it had access to the internet. This evolutionary idea of crossing a phone line with a data line in one phone became known as the HTC XDA (x meaning the cross of data and a phone line). There is a reason HTC is highly regarded on xda and that's because HTC started this all. So lets get one thing straight, if it wasn't for HTC this website and smartphones in general wouldn't exist they way we know them now. Better show a little respect lol

From what I know about the situation, the HTC One X should be safe.
Htc have the ****test customers service they have already been on watchdog and rated terrible this won't mean anything
