Quadcore 4G Qwerty Phones?

Q. I was wondering if anyone had any info about upcoming quadcore 4G smartphones, particular if they'll be on Verizon or if they'll have a physical qwerty keyboard.


I just got an iPhone 4S and I CANNOT WAIT to sell it and upgrade to a quadcore ANDROID phone.

I could've gotten a Rezound or Droid Razr, but they are too big for my small pants. thanks!

A. well were not quite at quadcore yet with android smartphones, (still at dualcore, but some tablets are quad core) but the first quadcore androids will probably be released in early 2012, Im keeping my eyes out for the galaxy s3, I currently have the s2 and its the best phone ive ever had.

as for a qwerty keyboard the Samsung stratosphere has a nice keyboard, as well as the DROID 3.

iPHONE 4: wait for verizon to carry it in 2012 or switch to att?

Q. my verizon contract ends in august. should i wait for verizon to carry iphones (maybe in 2012) or switch to att (which i heard doesnt have the greatest service)?

A. Um no. I'd be shocked if Verizon ever got it. These rumors come around every year, and every year, no Verizon iPhone. They didnt want it when Apple came to them first back in 2006 and they dont want it now. Why would they, when any Android phone crushes the iDont any day of the week, and Android is already selling more phones than Apple anyways?? Plus, ATT knows that without the iPhone, they have nothing, so they will pay Apple as much as they want in order to keep it. Why would you ever want such a horrible phone?

Personally, I would choose an Android phone any day because on the iPhone:

-cant take out the battery
-no removable memory
-only Apple-approved apps
-STILL no true multi-tasking like Android
-cant customize your phone AT ALL
-no Flash support
-no widgets
-no free GPS navigation
-no free wireless music downloads
-no ringback tones
-all file syncing MUST be done through iTunes (pictures, etc.)
-Android phones have more memory storage
-most Android phones have better cameras
-Android phones have faster processors
-no standard USB cable like all other phones
-instant Android OTA software updates- don�t have to wait a year like iPhone
-can�t get service in an ATT store- have to find an Apple store
-works on ATTs horrible network
-no unlimited data
-tethering comes out of your data plan instead of being separate

Android is miles ahead of Apple- with the new 4.0 software, Apple is only now letting people do things that Android can, like add folders to their home screen, because God forbid that anyone should be able to do that on their cell phone!! And even in 4 years, they haven�t been able to give the iPhone true multi-tasking capabilities, like Android. It took them 4 years to put a flash on the camera for crying out loud!! By the time Apple puts out a new iPhone, there�s a better Android phone out 4 months later. Bottom line: they will always be trailing Android.

Android is already selling more phones than Apple, and it�s been out half the time that the iPhone has. By the end of the year, the Market will have 100,000 apps, which is more than the Apple Store had at its 2-year mark. Android�s open-source nature will always be more appealing to devs and phone manufacturers because they can market to every carrier, and dozens of phones, instead of 1 carrier and 1 phone. The possibilities are literally endless as far as Android is concerned, because ANYONE can make an app to do ANYTHING on the phone. With Apple, they have to approve every single app that goes into the Store. They even rejected an app because it said the word Android in it- how far do you really think they�re gonna go with that kind of closed-minded thinking?? I want to decide what goes on my phone, not the other way around..

what is the best android phone from metro pcs?

Q. hi all, i have been looking and phones and want some opinions.... there are a lot of nice phones out there but i am wondering about:

Coolpad Quattro� 4G

LG Connect 4G

HTC Wildfire S�

thanks!

A. The best in my mind is Lg Connect 4G,but see for yourself
If you've never lived in China, then chances are you've never heard of smartphone maker Coolpad. The company, which is a major mobile player across the Pacific (Coolpad outsells Apple there by a wide margin), hopes to make the jump to the United States with the Quattro 4G ($79 contract-free from metroPCS as of 10/2/2012), its first smartphone offering here. Though the phone has speedy 4G LTE and a good-sized 4-inch display, the Quattro 4G's clunky feel, outdated operating system, and poor camera won't make Coolpad a household name here any time soon.

ne of the recent phones to be released by the Taiwanese mobile giant HTC is the HTC Wildfire S. It is primarily meant to be a budget class Android phone and it has really served the purpose. It caught our attention at first sight and we have loved the phone ever since. So we thought we would give it our full attention and focus on the pros and cons of the HTC Wildfire S. So, here is the list of pros and cons of the phone.

Pros:

The phone has really excellent design and dimension specifics of 101.3 x 59.4 x 12.4 mm lengthwise, breadthwise and by thickness respectively. The device weighs a mere 105g which competed with all the devices in the market today.

The TFT capacitive touchscreen is actually miserly but given the cost of the phone, we feel it is pretty much worth it! We have always loved the HTC Sense UI and it is the same in this phone too.

The microSD expansion of the phone�s memory can be done up to 32GB which is really awesome but we were pissed with the internal memory specifics of the phone. We will come to that in the cons section. Still, we loved the RAM of the phone which is a pretty decent 512MB one.

The camera is a pretty decent 5MP shooter which can shoot good pictures at a resolution of 2592 x 1944 pixels, has features like autofocus, LED flash, geo-tagging, etc. VGA video recording is also possible at 24 fps, in the phone.

Unlike the LG phones, the HTC Wildfire S runs on the most advanced version of the Android operating system, the Android v2.3 (Gingerbread) and this is one of the features we love most about the phone.

Cons:

Of course, the phone has its own set of bad qualities too. Some of them are manifested in the form of bad processor, bad battery, etc. HTC, learn fast!

The processor of the phone is a really simple 600 MHz processor which can be easily beaten even by a Nokia 5130 Xpress Music phone (remember those red phones which caused quite a furore when they were released)

We also hate the speeds of GPRS and EDGE, which are 114 kbps and 560 kbps respectively. I mean come on, you can give us better speeds for the money we are paying. The phone isn�t that cheap!

The battery of the phone really sucks! The 1230 lithium ion fuel is no match for the rate at which Android is growing virulently! A powerful battery is a must have in all phones and HTC simply does not seem to understand this basic fact as far as mobile phones are concerned!

Anyone looking for a budget Android device; buy this one and you�ll not regret it!

How come my android is so slow?

Q. My mom recently bought an ipad 4 and i have a samsung galaxy note one. For some reason even though the two devices have the exact same ram and cpu capacity (not sure about graphics) my phone runs infinitely slower than her ipad which has to power an ultra hd screen. i dont understand this
Android core. Thank you for the information, but i cannot find this watchdog lte on my phone. I found 3G watchdog and other sms monitoring apps but i cant find what you are talking about. Could you maybe link it to me?

A. your are comparing Apples to Oranges... a Big nono in the tech world!

---1) Understand that one is a tablet and the other is a smartphone
---2) the two are of different generations of technology, let alone 2 different chipsets
---3) IOS is closed sourced. Apple codes IOS to the hardware it is on. It dictates what can and cannot be open, ran in the background, etc etc. Android is open source. You dictate what is can and cannot do. It WILL NOT do it for you! Think Communism vs. Repubicanism� that�s IOS vs. Android in a nutshell.

Most people, like you, wanna compare IOS and Android (spec wise�which is good don�t get me wrong), think they are completely the same based on CPU/RAM spec, but not take into consideration the factors that separate the to techs--such as tech�. Its like comparing benchmarks from a dual core to a quad core� not gonna happen!

If your Note is running slow� reboot it.. If its still running slow, and you are using Advanced Task Killers---this is your #1 why� ATKs are made for Android 1.5 � 2.1� Bascially 2008-2009 phone technology�. Android 2.2-present doesn�t require ATKs.. Android has its own ATK built in directly in the code of the OS� if you use an ATK on 2.2+, you are negating that code, cause the OS and even the ROM to bug up and slow down� your fault� not android�s� Android, like IOS, will auto freeze background process that are nto being used or called upon by your fingers.

Also get WatchDog LTE.. this is a task MANAGER� huge difference that a ATK�. Open 3rd tab� here your will find ALLLLLL apps, systems apps, system processes running on your phone� next to it is a CPU %... see what app or process is sucking up your CPU and making the phone slow� then modify those app settings in their app menus�. You do have the option to kill apps� but killing 1 bad app once a week or month is beter than killing 300 apps every2-6 hours� geeeshhh� android abuse!

Also, Watchdog will prove my point about Android, like IOS, will auto freeze background process that are nto being used or called upon by your fingers. Only 10-15 apps should have a % next to them� the rest is 0.0%... PROOF! So�.. ATK user and lover� you are telling me� you wanna use CPU and RAM to open and use ATK� to kill 300 apps that use 0.0% CPU� LMAO!!!!!!!!! LMAO!!!!!!! Just wow�

So there you go� see what is sucking up your CPU and modify those Apps� Also, CleanMaster app will help clear junk files, residual files, cache, temps, etc, for those users who simply refuse to deep clean their droids on a weekly basis� also might want to consider your memory intake� extensive call history and text threads can bog down any phone, regardless of OS, cause like, as you all know, like, oh em gee, like deleting a 1 text is like, omg, so bad, my life will be over, like god� LMAO� there is no bloody hell need to keep ever single freaking text message! Get SMSbackup, back up the texts in case you wanna relive your live in 60 years, then delete them off the phone..

And� last resort�. Complete data wipe per Factory Reset

If issue remains, get a new android�. You have somehow killed your ROM due to lack of maintance.

If you are tech savy, root it and get a custom ROM�one WITHOUT touchwiz!

But comparing a ipad4 to a GN1�.. that like a 2012 Chevy 2 door Silverado truck vs a 2011 Ford 4 door Fusion sedan���..

Why do so many people like instagram?

Q. I waited a very long time to finally get an android phone, and finally download instagram.. and its the biggest piece of **** ever... there is no customization on photos, I've known better editing/sharing websites than this.. all my pictures look like shit
why is it so hyped up?

A. Instagram is a free photo sharing program launched in October 2010 that allows users to take a photo, apply a digital filter to it, and then share it on a variety of social networking services, including Instagram's own.
A distinctive feature confines photos to a square shape, similar to Kodak Instamatic and Polaroid images, in contrast to the 4:3 aspect ratio typically used by mobile device cameras.
Instagram was initially supported on iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch; in April 2012, the company added support for Android camera phones running 2.2 (Froyo) or higher.
It is distributed via the iTunes App Store and Google Play.

Information:
Industry:Mobile software.
Founded on 2010.

Why do I secretly judge people that have Androids?

Q. The user interface of Androids is just so poorly organized and needlessly clumsy. I just feel like people that would voluntarily get an Android over an iPhone (given that they can afford both) are just kinda dumb.


Why do I do this? Is it bad? I can't be the only person that acknowledges the Android operating system straight up sucks, right?
I have an iPhone. Love iOS.

A. Unfortunately independent reviewers do NOT mark Apples iPhones highly
Also this must be a reason also that iPhones fail to win awards

The SGS 2 the multi multi award winning phone of 2011 which has a 1.2Ghz Dual Core processor, the IP5 18 months AFTER the SGS II has the same speed

The SGS II has won 4 top award in 2011-12
The Quad Core SGS III COPIED COPIED the multi multi award winning phone of 2011-12 [SGS II] the SGS III won THE SAME 4 top award in 2012-13 most recently on 26/02/2013 Global Mobile Awards in Barcelona

Considering the IP5 only has 3 NEW features on it not on the IP4S and the A6 chip optimised to work best in the IP5

Iphone
1) http://www.gsmarena.com/apple_iphone_5-review-822.php
2) Note the source http://finance.yahoo.com/news/8-things-the-iphone-5-still-can-t-do.html
the best ever iPhone since the Iphone the ad states

Both the SGS II and SGS III HAVE 8 more features NOT on the IP5, 9 if you include BLUETOOTH, Despite this the IP6 will still NOT have most if not all the 8 .

Windows 8 phone are coming in at 1.5 Ghz Dual Core processor as standard, they also appear to have 8 more features NOT on the IP5, 9 if you include BLUETOOTH

BlackBerry Z10 also 1.5 Ghz Dual Core processor as standard, it also appears to have 8 more features NOT on the IP5 9 if you include BLUETOOTH

The price paid or tariffs commanded (no demanded) by iPhones...on any every network defy logic and gravity!

"I have an iPhone. Love iOS."

You may love IOS but instead of meandering in the ORCHARD do do a little research (I know)

Apple prior to the APPLE -V- SAMSUNG case lost big time to NOKIA
IOS breaches many of Nokias patents so much so that Apple conceded defeat to NOKIA ..... and APPLE PAYS NOKIA ROYALTIES for each device that use IOS (every device sold! since iPhone)

IOS is NOKIA, all, all APPLE have to do to avoid paying Nokia royalties is to make an OS that Nokia did not design
Love iOS. Sorry Love Nokia

Nokia were making smartphones when SMART & PHONE were TWO separate words and.... "Smart" actually applied for a TRO against "Phone"

So NOT bad just like the maps misguided !
You do know know what today, 14/03/2013 S IV, intravenous SAMSUNG?

I don't have an iPhone but love what competition brings

Original Question

can you have a att flip phone with wifi but not have to have data plan?

Q. My husband is looking for a simple att flip phone that he can hook up to our wifi at home. He does not text or use internet but would like to download a few apps.

A. There have only been a very few "smartphone" flip phones made. Currently AT&T offers no "smartphone" flip phones, though you can use an unlocked GSM-capable phone on the AT&T network (i.e., a flip phone that doesn't come from AT&T).

The last "flip" smartphone offered through AT&T was the Blackberry Pearl Flip in 2010 (the current version is the model 9670). Although you can still buy the Pearl Flip from other sources and use it on the AT&T network, AT&T will recognize any Blackberry phone and charge you a mandatory $30 per month for their "Blackberry Data Plan" even if you only ever use it on wifi.

Some non-smartphone flip phones may still offer "apps" though these are not the apps you normally think of in terms of iPhone, Android or Windows Phone apps. Feature phone "apps" are JAVA-based and tend to be much harder to find and not as good in quality as smartphone apps.

It is possible to operate a smartphone on the AT&T network without paying for the data plan, using only wifi for the "apps". To do so you must *not* use a phone that was originally sold by AT&T (AT&T will recognize one of its own phones and force a data plan onto your bill). Instead you must find a GSM-compatible smartphone from T-Mobile or from outside the US and "unlock" the phone for use with any carrier. When setting up the phone for use AT&T you do *not* configure the SMS, MMS or data plan settings. This assures that your phone can't use AT&T data connectivity.

More specific info can be found in the posting "Smartphones Without a Data Plan":
http://www.atxgeek.com/2012/08/smartphones-without-data-plan-phonegeek.html

what is the best android phone from metro pcs?

Q. hi all, i have been looking and phones and want some opinions.... there are a lot of nice phones out there but i am wondering about:

Coolpad Quattro™ 4G

LG Connect 4G

HTC Wildfire S™

thanks!

A. The best in my mind is Lg Connect 4G,but see for yourself
If you've never lived in China, then chances are you've never heard of smartphone maker Coolpad. The company, which is a major mobile player across the Pacific (Coolpad outsells Apple there by a wide margin), hopes to make the jump to the United States with the Quattro 4G ($79 contract-free from metroPCS as of 10/2/2012), its first smartphone offering here. Though the phone has speedy 4G LTE and a good-sized 4-inch display, the Quattro 4G's clunky feel, outdated operating system, and poor camera won't make Coolpad a household name here any time soon.

ne of the recent phones to be released by the Taiwanese mobile giant HTC is the HTC Wildfire S. It is primarily meant to be a budget class Android phone and it has really served the purpose. It caught our attention at first sight and we have loved the phone ever since. So we thought we would give it our full attention and focus on the pros and cons of the HTC Wildfire S. So, here is the list of pros and cons of the phone.

Pros:

The phone has really excellent design and dimension specifics of 101.3 x 59.4 x 12.4 mm lengthwise, breadthwise and by thickness respectively. The device weighs a mere 105g which competed with all the devices in the market today.

The TFT capacitive touchscreen is actually miserly but given the cost of the phone, we feel it is pretty much worth it! We have always loved the HTC Sense UI and it is the same in this phone too.

The microSD expansion of the phone’s memory can be done up to 32GB which is really awesome but we were pissed with the internal memory specifics of the phone. We will come to that in the cons section. Still, we loved the RAM of the phone which is a pretty decent 512MB one.

The camera is a pretty decent 5MP shooter which can shoot good pictures at a resolution of 2592 x 1944 pixels, has features like autofocus, LED flash, geo-tagging, etc. VGA video recording is also possible at 24 fps, in the phone.

Unlike the LG phones, the HTC Wildfire S runs on the most advanced version of the Android operating system, the Android v2.3 (Gingerbread) and this is one of the features we love most about the phone.

Cons:

Of course, the phone has its own set of bad qualities too. Some of them are manifested in the form of bad processor, bad battery, etc. HTC, learn fast!

The processor of the phone is a really simple 600 MHz processor which can be easily beaten even by a Nokia 5130 Xpress Music phone (remember those red phones which caused quite a furore when they were released)

We also hate the speeds of GPRS and EDGE, which are 114 kbps and 560 kbps respectively. I mean come on, you can give us better speeds for the money we are paying. The phone isn’t that cheap!

The battery of the phone really sucks! The 1230 lithium ion fuel is no match for the rate at which Android is growing virulently! A powerful battery is a must have in all phones and HTC simply does not seem to understand this basic fact as far as mobile phones are concerned!

Anyone looking for a budget Android device; buy this one and you’ll not regret it!

can you have a att flip phone with wifi but not have to have data plan?

Q. My husband is looking for a simple att flip phone that he can hook up to our wifi at home. He does not text or use internet but would like to download a few apps.

A. There have only been a very few "smartphone" flip phones made. Currently AT&T offers no "smartphone" flip phones, though you can use an unlocked GSM-capable phone on the AT&T network (i.e., a flip phone that doesn't come from AT&T).

The last "flip" smartphone offered through AT&T was the Blackberry Pearl Flip in 2010 (the current version is the model 9670). Although you can still buy the Pearl Flip from other sources and use it on the AT&T network, AT&T will recognize any Blackberry phone and charge you a mandatory $30 per month for their "Blackberry Data Plan" even if you only ever use it on wifi.

Some non-smartphone flip phones may still offer "apps" though these are not the apps you normally think of in terms of iPhone, Android or Windows Phone apps. Feature phone "apps" are JAVA-based and tend to be much harder to find and not as good in quality as smartphone apps.

It is possible to operate a smartphone on the AT&T network without paying for the data plan, using only wifi for the "apps". To do so you must *not* use a phone that was originally sold by AT&T (AT&T will recognize one of its own phones and force a data plan onto your bill). Instead you must find a GSM-compatible smartphone from T-Mobile or from outside the US and "unlock" the phone for use with any carrier. When setting up the phone for use AT&T you do *not* configure the SMS, MMS or data plan settings. This assures that your phone can't use AT&T data connectivity.

what cell phone carriers will be getting the iphone?

Q. iv heard many people talking about this. that soon apple is going to make the iphone available to more carriers then just at&t.

does anyone know which carriers they will be to?
i realllly hope verizon will get a second chance at getting it! :)

A. First off keep in mind that each country has a different arrangement. Some countries don't even allow "exclusive" carriers in the first place. I can only speak for the US. Here Apple has just extended their exclusive agreement with AT&T for another 2 years meaning it ends in 2012. So nobody else is getting the iPhone before 2012. I doubt Verizon will get an iPhone, since their ads are saying how Android does everything it can't, Apple probably isn't too fond of Verizon right now. Verizon doesn't like the idea of handing control of the phone (OS, support, ect) over to Apple, which is why they turned Apple down originally. Regardless, as I said nobody besides AT&T will have the iPhone before 2012.

The rumors likely are from people mistaking the Apple netbook in development for Verizon's network as a Verizon iPhone (well that and people stating their "hopes" and "facts"). It's not a phone, so it doesn't break the AT&T contract. That is likely coming out in 2010.

And in response to the guy posting about jailbreaking, that will only allow the iPhone to run on other GSM networks (T-Mobile), it will not run on Verizon - ever. Verizon uses CDMA and thus it would require different hardware to run. Plus you loose access to official updates and support.

Original Question

Can someone help fix my cell phone problem?

Q. I have an LG Vortex and lately it has been saying that that I am low on memory space. So I'll delete a few pictures, etc. Now it won't even let me text, and when I go to text it says, "Phone storage is full! Delete some files to free space." So, I delete over half of my pictures (and mind you I used to barely ever download anything and then I accidentally deleted my Google account which won't let me go on the Android market so I haven't downloaded anything since February-March 2012). It still won't let me text. In earlier summer, I had so many problems with my SD card it was unbelievable--but that's a whole new topic. Anywho, can someone help me fix this so I can text? If not I guess I'm calling up Verizon...thank you-10 points to the person who can make it work! Guaranteed!

A. 1. open setting, application, manage app, choose any app that uses internet like browser, google play, etc, then clear its cache. if it didn't work.
2. open contacts, option, import/export, choose export to SD card. exit contacts. open setting, privacy, factory reset(it'll delete ur phone's data), ur phone will restart. after restart usually ur phone's back like the 1st time u bought it.

Why do so many people like instagram?

Q. I waited a very long time to finally get an android phone, and finally download instagram.. and its the biggest piece of **** ever... there is no customization on photos, I've known better editing/sharing websites than this.. all my pictures look like shit
why is it so hyped up?

A. Instagram is a free photo sharing program launched in October 2010 that allows users to take a photo, apply a digital filter to it, and then share it on a variety of social networking services, including Instagram's own.
A distinctive feature confines photos to a square shape, similar to Kodak Instamatic and Polaroid images, in contrast to the 4:3 aspect ratio typically used by mobile device cameras.
Instagram was initially supported on iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch; in April 2012, the company added support for Android camera phones running 2.2 (Froyo) or higher.
It is distributed via the iTunes App Store and Google Play.

Why do I secretly judge people that have Androids?

Q. The user interface of Androids is just so poorly organized and needlessly clumsy. I just feel like people that would voluntarily get an Android over an iPhone (given that they can afford both) are just kinda dumb.


Why do I do this? Is it bad? I can't be the only person that acknowledges the Android operating system straight up sucks, right?
I have an iPhone. Love iOS.

A. Unfortunately independent reviewers do NOT mark Apples iPhones highly
Also this must be a reason also that iPhones fail to win awards

The SGS 2 the multi multi award winning phone of 2011 which has a 1.2Ghz Dual Core processor, the IP5 18 months AFTER the SGS II has the same speed

The SGS II has won 4 top award in 2011-12
The Quad Core SGS III COPIED COPIED the multi multi award winning phone of 2011-12 [SGS II] the SGS III won THE SAME 4 top award in 2012-13 most recently on 26/02/2013 Global Mobile Awards in Barcelona

Considering the IP5 only has 3 NEW features on it not on the IP4S and the A6 chip optimised to work best in the IP5

Iphone
1) http://www.gsmarena.com/apple_iphone_5-review-822.php
2) Note the source http://finance.yahoo.com/news/8-things-the-iphone-5-still-can-t-do.html
the best ever iPhone since the Iphone the ad states

Both the SGS II and SGS III HAVE 8 more features NOT on the IP5, 9 if you include BLUETOOTH, Despite this the IP6 will still NOT have most if not all the 8 .

Windows 8 phone are coming in at 1.5 Ghz Dual Core processor as standard, they also appear to have 8 more features NOT on the IP5, 9 if you include BLUETOOTH

BlackBerry Z10 also 1.5 Ghz Dual Core processor as standard, it also appears to have 8 more features NOT on the IP5 9 if you include BLUETOOTH

The price paid or tariffs commanded (no demanded) by iPhones...on any every network defy logic and gravity!

"I have an iPhone. Love iOS."

You may love IOS but instead of meandering in the ORCHARD do do a little research (I know)

Apple prior to the APPLE -V- SAMSUNG case lost big time to NOKIA
IOS breaches many of Nokias patents so much so that Apple conceded defeat to NOKIA ..... and APPLE PAYS NOKIA ROYALTIES for each device that use IOS (every device sold! since iPhone)

IOS is NOKIA, all, all APPLE have to do to avoid paying Nokia royalties is to make an OS that Nokia did not design
Love iOS. Sorry Love Nokia

Nokia were making smartphones when SMART & PHONE were TWO separate words and.... "Smart" actually applied for a TRO against "Phone"

So NOT bad just like the maps misguided !
You do know know what today, 14/03/2013 S IV, intravenous SAMSUNG?

I don't have an iPhone but love what competition brings

Q. hi all, i have been looking and phones and want some opinions.... there are a lot of nice phones out there but i am wondering about:

Coolpad Quattro� 4G

LG Connect 4G

HTC Wildfire S�

thanks!

A. The best in my mind is Lg Connect 4G,but see for yourself
If you've never lived in China, then chances are you've never heard of smartphone maker Coolpad. The company, which is a major mobile player across the Pacific (Coolpad outsells Apple there by a wide margin), hopes to make the jump to the United States with the Quattro 4G ($79 contract-free from metroPCS as of 10/2/2012), its first smartphone offering here. Though the phone has speedy 4G LTE and a good-sized 4-inch display, the Quattro 4G's clunky feel, outdated operating system, and poor camera won't make Coolpad a household name here any time soon.

ne of the recent phones to be released by the Taiwanese mobile giant HTC is the HTC Wildfire S. It is primarily meant to be a budget class Android phone and it has really served the purpose. It caught our attention at first sight and we have loved the phone ever since. So we thought we would give it our full attention and focus on the pros and cons of the HTC Wildfire S. So, here is the list of pros and cons of the phone.

Pros:

The phone has really excellent design and dimension specifics of 101.3 x 59.4 x 12.4 mm lengthwise, breadthwise and by thickness respectively. The device weighs a mere 105g which competed with all the devices in the market today.

The TFT capacitive touchscreen is actually miserly but given the cost of the phone, we feel it is pretty much worth it! We have always loved the HTC Sense UI and it is the same in this phone too.

The microSD expansion of the phone�s memory can be done up to 32GB which is really awesome but we were pissed with the internal memory specifics of the phone. We will come to that in the cons section. Still, we loved the RAM of the phone which is a pretty decent 512MB one.

The camera is a pretty decent 5MP shooter which can shoot good pictures at a resolution of 2592 x 1944 pixels, has features like autofocus, LED flash, geo-tagging, etc. VGA video recording is also possible at 24 fps, in the phone.

Unlike the LG phones, the HTC Wildfire S runs on the most advanced version of the Android operating system, the Android v2.3 (Gingerbread) and this is one of the features we love most about the phone.

Cons:

Of course, the phone has its own set of bad qualities too. Some of them are manifested in the form of bad processor, bad battery, etc. HTC, learn fast!

The processor of the phone is a really simple 600 MHz processor which can be easily beaten even by a Nokia 5130 Xpress Music phone (remember those red phones which caused quite a furore when they were released)

We also hate the speeds of GPRS and EDGE, which are 114 kbps and 560 kbps respectively. I mean come on, you can give us better speeds for the money we are paying. The phone isn�t that cheap!

The battery of the phone really sucks! The 1230 lithium ion fuel is no match for the rate at which Android is growing virulently! A powerful battery is a must have in all phones and HTC simply does not seem to understand this basic fact as far as mobile phones are concerned!

Anyone looking for a budget Android device; buy this one and you�ll not regret it!

And in response to the guy posting about jailbreaking, that will only allow the iPhone to run on other GSM networks (T-Mobile), it will not run on Verizon - ever. Verizon uses CDMA and thus it would require different hardware to run. Plus you loose access to official updates and support.

Will the Xperia U ever get the Jelly Bean update?

Q. -----
@Racing H. - definitely not you! And you said you wanted jelly bean on one of my questions, how could you want something when you don't know what it is? Lol.

Mike H. - that helped a lot, and thanks!

A. That is very good question!

Based on this forum link [ http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/56165 ], that will come up in the "early December".

Actually, there is no information available yet about the update of the phone because it's too early to say this!

According to this link: http://www.xperiablog.net/2012/10/19/android-4-1-jelly-bean-for-2012-xperia-devices-rolling-out-from-mid-q1-2013/

"Sony Xperia devices that launched earlier this year including the Xperia S, Xperia acro S, Xperia ion, Xperia P, Xperia go and Xperia J will be upgraded to Android 4.1 in �due course�. Looks like Xperia miro, Xperia tipo, Xperia tipo dual, Xperia sola and Xperia U users are excluded.'

'The release date for Jelly Bean is later than we expected, we had always assumed it would launch later this year. Recent owners of the Sony Xperia T/TX may feel the most annoyed especially since Sony said that the handsets will be �upgraded to Android version 4.1 (Jelly Bean) following launch�. We interpret �following launch� as near enough immediately after release � certainly not four months later."

I am not exactly sure when the update will occur in Xperia U. The inclination is "no"; Xperia U won't get the Jelly Bean update. However, we will need to check the update with the phone. Depending on the type of mobile, one should refresh the device to get the update; otherwise, the update is not available yet. The updates and everything are all on company's hand!

Good luck, and have a happy Thanksgiving!

Is the Samsung Galaxy S iii good?

Q. My family and I are getting new phones, and my mom and I were looking at the Samsung Galaxy S iii, and we both like it. My friend has it also. Is it any good?

A. Well, if you compare it to the iPhones, then yes.

The Samsung Galaxy S3 is a very excellent phone itself, and that's why I'm glad I chose it over HTC One X last May 2012.

Here's my experiences:
as you can see when you had the hand-on, the phone is Very Very good looking, like right on the edge with iPhone design, but Better
The phone sometimes lag a little, but like for half a sec, and like... happen only once a day, but's that's Android phone problems, because you can see all the cool customizations it offers.
The battery life is decent, can get around a little more than a day on average usage, But the Stand By time is HORRIBLE. but as long as you charge your phone every night you should be fine.
If you ever been an iPhone user, The Google Play Store on S3 isn't as close to the Apple App Store, there're much more apps you can play with on iPhone.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 is getting as popular as the iPhone, I walk around on campus and see like everyone has it..., so should you consider if you are one of a kind person.

There's many other phone that are better coming out, like Galaxy Note 2 which available to most carriers. just for you to consider.

Overall, I would Recommend the Samsung Galaxy S3, it's a very good phone and I have it for 7 months and still love it :)
