    GSM Moto G 16GB for a Verizon WP8 or BB10 Phone

    I have a US GSM (Non Verizon, 3G) variant of the Moto G, 16GB, unlocked and in like new condition. I bought it on impulse when it came out and played with it for a day or two before deciding I just didn't want to use an Android phone again. I?m also on Verizon, so I don?t really have any use for...

    Moto G 16GB for a WP8 Phone

    I have a US variant of the Moto G, 16GB, unlocked and in like new condition. I bought it on impulse when it came out and played with it for a day or two before deciding I just didn't want to use an Android phone again. Price: $160 or trade for a WP8 device, T-Mobile or Verizon would be fine in...

    Switched from iPhone and can't receive group texts sent from iPhones

    Your number has been registered with apple for use with iMessage, so when people with iPhones try to text you it's going through iMessage. There are only 2 ways to remedy this; 1 is to put your sim card into an iPhone and toggle iMessage on (until it activates) then turn it back off (this will...

    Software&Firmware Updates 521-GDR3/Black

    Re: Firmware Updates for 521 coming Soon Hearing the 521 is getting WiFi Calling is what sealed the deal on it for me. My apartment is a black hole of cell reception (on all carriers), so I'm excited about this.

    521 Pricing at Microsoft Stores?

    I called my Microsoft Store today and they said it would be $149, though I've had them price match in the past so you may be able to ask them about that.

    Local WalMart just sold me a Lumia 521 :)

    I was fully expecting to wait until tomorrow to pick up the Lumia 521, so imagine my surprise when a call to my local WalMart ended up with them placing one on hold for me. $140 later, here I am sitting with my new Lumia 521. So far I really like it. It's very light, feels pretty good in the...

    On a two year contract, starting today, what would you get? HTC 8X or Lumia 920?

    I would go for the Lumia 920 personally, do to most of the reasons already stated in this thread. The one worry I have however, is that you're going to buy it refurbished. AT&T's refurbs only come with a 90 day warranty, so I'd make sure you have insurance just in case something goes wrong as...

    Trading my iPhone for a 920; Anything to Watch out For in the 920?

    Any time I've bought a phone on craigslist, I go through a little checklist. I check out all the ports and make sure there's no corrosion present and that the phone doesn't look modified in any way. I test the microphone with a test call and make sure the other end can hear me okay. During that...

    Had an Affair with HTC One, Ran Back!

    I'm actually pretty surprised to hear you had issues with the One lagging and needing a restart. I'm a huge WP fan (and I like to try pretty much every new phone I can get my hands on) and I've actually had no problems with the One lagging. Most reviews say the One is pretty much slick and...

    What's the Stupidest thing you have had said or asked about your Windows phone?

    To be honest some of the carrier reps I think are somewhat to blame for some of this mindset. You have to remember how many "normal users" out there aren't technically inclined and probably have never logged into a tech forum in their lives. For instance I went to an AT&T store recently and I...

    What's the Stupidest thing you have had said or asked about your Windows phone?

    How is that a stupid question? I've known people who bought a phone and liked it at first but over time the things that were minor annoyances at first grew to bother them a ton. For instance, I had a coworker who used a Palm Pre Plus, and I asked him if he liked it and he said it was a piece of...

    Anyone Else Just Completely Disappointed by BB10?

    Does it let me have separate volume controls for notifications, ringers, alarms, and media? If so, I'm sold. It may not be the most aesthetically pleasing OS, but the functionality looks pretty solid. I love the gesture support (I'm both a webOS and MeeGo ******), I love the multitasking "active...

    Could BlackBerry 10 kill Windows Phone?

    I think for the most part, people choose something other than iOS or Android either because it's already familiar to them, or because it's much different than what they normally use. Windows Phone has that, "ooh what's that?" appeal to it because of the bright colors and the live tiles. The new...
