So over and over Verizon some how, some way finds a way to screw us, its customers, over. I opened up my box expecting there to be a new pair of Samsung ear buds in there. Nope. Verizon has done it again by taking away features that they think aren't necessary. What gives them the right to do this? I mean. Really? What idiot at Verizon decided that this was a good idea?

Here's what makes me mad. The s6+ came with headphones why not the note too? Both should be the same imo
I know. Pisses me off that Verizon decided to do this.

Yeah I know I got some from Amazon last year that are great and were only like $20. From Japan or somewhere they sound much better then the Samsung cheap ones
Maybe they do it to shave some $ off the price? I think all the other carriers have headphones and if I'm not mistaken, Verizon note 5 is the cheapest of all? Grasping for a logical answer.

Buying at best buy the payment is 32 vs 33 a month from Verizon.

Not to be mean but what do you think those headphones cost for Samsung to make? I'd venture to say maybe 50 cents? Somewhere in that ballpark

I understand the cost to make. Truthfully the whole phone probably costs less than $100 to make. I was talking about the full price of the phone being cheaper than the other carriers. Listen, I agree....we should get the headphones. I was just trying to think why they don't. Its the only reason I could come up with.

No no I understand you meant Verizon note 5 is cheapest I was just pointing out they are super cheap headphones lol and Verizon probably gets the cheapest because they sell the most Samsung. That would be my guess
I guess I should go check the box, lol! I have two good sets of wireless headphones , so if it's not in there, no biggie imo, for me any way.

Note series doesn't come with headphones. S series do. Its been that way for a while. Samsung rep confirmed. Note users are generally more business use due to the stylus for signatures etc while the S series is more for the user to use on an arm band while exercising or for the general use of entertainment.

The only thing good about the Samsung stock headphones is that you can increase the horrible volume from the Note 4 with them (Perhaps the volume is better on the 5), however, since they generally break in a week, a decent pair of bluetooth ones make a world of difference.
You've spent good money on the phone, might as well spend a few more and buy some headphones. I use Jaybird Bluebuds X. <3 them.
Good thing my s6 came with headphones

My husband's Edge+ was $100 more than my Note 5.
$100 headphones (actually ear buds)?
I can't use ear buds, it hurts my ears, but still would've wanted them. My kids are always breaking/losing them, but NOT for $100.

I don't know if this has been posted before, but I've been looking for a case that is Minimal and still shows off the back of the phone. I came across this one and went to look at the prices available... than I looked at the last option... $104,921.73!!!!! I HOPE this is a seller error... I really do hope... I just thought this was funny and I would share with fellow Nexus 4/XDAers. Have a good one.
Actually it says $13,99.
Or maybe the dollar devaluated again...
Edit: OMG just saw it! What a silly way to say you're out of stock...

And they have the nerve to charge 5¢... Lol
Ehh the rest of the shipping and handling cost is in there somewhere!

I was thinking if ANY case is that much it better have an extra 3,000mh (if that's the right abbreviation) battery built in, signal boosters for both WiFi and Cell Data/Radio, pure diamond and/or hardened steel, light-weight, and have an extra voice assistant that knows you by name and balances your checkbook.
Side note, I am thinking about this case but does it add a lot of extra bulk to the device?

Well, I've wanted this phone since it came out.. I know the S4 is out there but not for Verizon.. I'm wondering if it's worth still picking up for an extra phone to play with and root? Amazon Wireless has it for $19.99 and it's only $40/month for my plan to add a line... Worth the additional line to be able to play around with it? I know it's another contract or whatever ...

The S4 isn't even worth the cost to upgrade from S3. Specs need to be a lot better. Wait until fall and grab a phone with better specs then the S4

S3 will still be a good phone for atleast another year or so, especially with the community it has. Roms keep getting better and better
Imo, I'd pay for it. The d2vzw has a huge developement community, so you'll have plenty to tinker with.
A year or two back I recall an ad, I believe it was Samsung, for a phone that had a projector function. The ad showed young people displaying video on a caravan I think. Don't see that anymore, what happened? Technology too poor? Never caught on with consumers? Why? Just curious.

The phone would become bulky if there is a projector function in it. Plus, no one seems really interested in that feature in Mobile phones, maybe that's why they've stopped it.
The phone you talk about is called the Samsung Galaxy Beam. The phone doesn't have a big audience and not many people are not yet interested in this type of tech and after personally holding one in my hands it is way to bulky and fat compared to the newer phones.

Probably because it didn't create as many sales for it to be up for consideration for a successor.

How well did the projector in it work? I thought that it might not produce enough luminance to be useful and that is why it tanked.

Well it was okay as I only got to play around with it for a few minutes in a shop. But it seemed that the luminance was a bit too low when you are in a lot up area but overall seemed to be a good phone.

Never saw that one - I've seen that Brookstone has a pocket project for iPhone. Not sure how good it is though. Looks a little bulky for carrying around in your pocket though.
There was a surge in pocket projectors main manufacturer was Pico I believe. The Lumens output were limited but, in darkened areas they are OK but, expensive in comparison. A decent small projector around £400 the Pico projectors around £250. For the size and capabilities they weren't really justified in many people's opinions.
As for the phone, as already advised it is the Galaxy Beam. I think though it was only available in South Korea

Not really. Note3 has a higher value than the Nexus 5. Best to sell your note 3 and buy the nexus 5 probably even get a brand new piece.

have to agree, while the n5 is a better phone, the note 3 sells for more money
From what I've seen on Craigslist in my area (Washington, DC) the Note 3 goes for around $300-$320. The Nexus 5 32gb goes for around $250-$300.

You'll miss the screen real estate .... Note 3 is a better phone unless you want the latest OS. Better battery, larger sceen, better camera, expandable storage..etc
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
You're all wrong look at Swappa and locally on Craigslist, as much as I would like the Note 3 to sell more that's not the case. I sold my note 3 for $425, although some might be selling for $475+ people aren't buying them. I found a new sealed Nexus 5 for $380 on eBay who has overstock on them and in desperate need to sell and with tempered glass protector and case I spend another $20, so I pocketed $25 big deal. But ya no way Note 3 is selling for more right now. Oh and with bootloader locked like in my case I'm on AT&T (SCREW you AT&T) I rather have my Nexus 5 any day regardless of screen size. I'm just wish OnePlus One hurry's the heck up and sells the darn phone ASAP.

Because decisions are hard, mmkay? :silly:
You could always ask if he is interested in buying your Note 3 + cash. I don't know the prices in US, but in Europe it +/- 100 euro differences between the two. Don't know the state of your phone and the accessories.

Been seeing them a few weeks too. Saw one listed as Samsung LG smartwatch let me know how you like it
I just found it to and it looks to good to be true. But on the other hand, all the other LEMFO watches seem pretty sleek for the prices. Not sure if I should buy this. Any one did and can review it?
Only 64/128MB of ram? That's quite a bit less than the 512MB on the real Gear S2. Might look nice but not sure this puppy can keep up, even though the price is attractive.
Ordered. Now just have to wait for it to come
