Galaxy Nexus prices have been steadily dropping on ebay. I've noticed a couple New (other) phones selling for <$250. If this continues I may save some money and just get the GNex. $350 is a great price for the new Nexus4 but if I can get the GNex for like $210 new I will probably do that.

I used to love swype. But the autocorrect on the iphone keyboard is better.
You can type faster. The voice recognition is better too. At least better than my old X.

I use SwiftKey (and love it) and they have a Spanish setting as well. It's more of an integration though.

swype is the greatest thing ever invented, if you can stomach the week of hell while you learn it. but it's so insanely fast.

HTC EVO 3D question:
Anyone here really good at rooting? I attempted it last night for the first time and was successful... on the first ROM.
I then attempted to install a different ROM and think I ****** up my phone.
The phone won't load the OS. It stays frozen on the 'white background-green htc' screen
When I remove the battery, reinstall and press power-vol down, nothing happens :(
So basically... my phone goes to a freeze screen and I can't do anything else.
I've tried googling the problem and asked for help on XDA and AF. I figured asking here couldn't help. Still waiting on responses from the other sites.
CDMA (Sprint)
s-on
hboot 1.58
2.87
4ext
edit: apparently I'm in a bootloop. I guess I'm a bit relieved since they seem to be correctable.

This happened to me... well something similar when I tried to load my first ROM on my Fascinate. What I did was try to reinstall the ROM and that solved the issue.

Dammit I stayed up til 3am to order this damn Nexus 4 and Google waits that long to say "Sorry, we'll sell 'em at 9AM PST!" So I wait that long, but try refreshing at 11:37 for the hell of it and THE ****ING PHONES ARE ON SALE ALREADY. So I spend the next half hour dicking around with the Google Wallet cart, trying to purchase. Tons of errors. I have no idea if I got one. How does Google suck so much at something simple like a phone launch? This is what pre-orders are for asshats.

i just can't see buying a 3g-only phone, though being world-usable is a great feature for me.

I don't understand how you possibly got one with no issue.
njx I've been lead to believe TMobile HSPA+ speeds in my area are pretty good. I'm not interested in LTE.
Well after all my bitching I was finally able to buy one.

as far as i'm aware, it's on the slower version of HSPA currently, that's barely better than 3g, though i have absolutely not looked at it regionally, so what you say might be entirely true. do you know anyone with it who's done a speedtest (for my own curiosity)? to be more fair, i'm on verizon, so t-mobile's application of it is totally off my radar to begin with.
and no interest in LTE? i kind of like downloading my entire spotify library in 12 seconds...

LTE and Verizon in general is **** in my area. My work phone is through Verizon and coverage isn't very good.
From what I've read, I think you are mistaken. It's the 42 mbps HSPA+. Definitely faster than 3G and in many cases faster than LTE (depending on location, obviously).

I would really buy a phone without 4g even if my area doesn't have the best coverage yet. My mom upgraded and I made her get one even though her home is mostly 3g. I just have her turn it to only 3g, but they are improving the 4g coverage in the area in the next year.

****ing Google. The largest collection of genius engineers running the biggest internet company on the planet and these assholes can't figure out how to sell **** on the web. I got a backorder email today, despite buying a phone successfully (or so I thought) just 3 hrs after it went on sale. ASSHOLES.
