FWIW, I personally, have not had a single bad Sprint customer service experience in my 6+ years of being a customer. I had some good experiences with T-Mobile in store, but bad ones on the phone.
The LG V510 is rumored to be an 8" Nexus tablet based of the G Pad 8.3. It's expected to have the same 1920 x 1200 resolution as the Nexus 7 (2013), but stretched to 8". Probably quad core CPU and 2GB of RAM too.
I don't really see much that makes this compelling over the Nexus 7.

I think this will be the end of AT&T carrier exclusivity of Lumia phones. Nokia needed the short term cash that AT&T gave for exclusive phones, but Microsoft's goals are more towards increased market share. I don't know that I would buy a Lumia, but the option would be nice without being forced to use AT&T.
Right, I gathered that from one of Robert's posts. He also mentioned buggy
Unfortunately, the current options for phones with keyboards are pretty limited
Err, thanks, I guess that tells me a little bit
Kind of thinking of picking up one of these or a Photon Q. I like how compact this phone is compared to the Photon Q, but functionality is more important than form for me.
Softbank caps Sprint's Clearwire bid; investors want more
http://uk.reuters.co...E8BD03920121214
Softbank is preventing Sprint from bidding more than $2.97 per share.
I don't see any urgency for Sprint to pick up Clearwire. Clearwire is burning through cash so quickly it doesn't have enough to last all the way through 2013. At that point Clearwire's stockholders will be forced to choose between declaring bankruptcy and walk away with next to nothing or taking what it can get from Sprint. I don't see any other suitors coming.
Well, this rumor turned out to be completely false. Pricing on the Windows RT Surface starts at $499. That definitely takes it off my shopping list.

The rumor is that HTC's rumored One X 5 "phablet" (hate that term) will become the next Google Nexus device under the name Nexus 5.

12MP main camera
2MP front-facing camera
64GB internal storage
