July 26, 201410 yr Author FPCH Admin I bought two of them. They're not the sturdiest in the world but for my use they are great. I already own one and when I saw the price, I decided to buy a couple more. ~I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.~ ~~Robert McCloskey~~
July 26, 201410 yr Hey I have that phone with T-Mobile and I like it a lot it's small and light, and it's different from all my friends android phones which is cool. If you are on a budget like I am I really recommend it!
July 27, 201410 yr FPCH Admin This is a pretty good phone and for the price it is even better. I like my iPhone, but, my next phone when my contract is up will be a Windows phone. Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
July 27, 201410 yr Not me you would have to pry my iPhone out of my dead hands....the camera is the best and so is the phone IMHO!
July 30, 201410 yr Author FPCH Admin My phones were delivered this afternoon by UPS. Funny, I didn't expect them until next week as I selected the free delivery option (Egg Saver) which usually means delivery by snail mail. I lucked out since I only ordered them on Saturday. ~I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.~ ~~Robert McCloskey~~
July 30, 201410 yr Those aren't refurbished are they as I saw some at that price that were though the ad was a bit tricky to read.
July 30, 201410 yr Author FPCH Admin Nope, they aren't refurbished, they are brand new. This was definitely a great deal as I paid $129.99 for my first one. The only down side, which I didn't notice until it was delivered, these are white. ~I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.~ ~~Robert McCloskey~~
July 30, 201410 yr Get with it, its white because the iphone is white! BTW my white tower has been dusted once in 2 years. My black towers, every 2 weeks.
July 30, 201410 yr Author FPCH Admin I don't care for the white but it's not a deal breaker. An otterbox will cover it....:D You can keep your white tower, it's not for me.:big_ha: ~I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.~ ~~Robert McCloskey~~
July 31, 201410 yr Ha, ha I have a white iPhone, a white pc and even a white camera (Nikon J1 SLR with all kinds of white lenses)....I'd get white TV's if I could find them!
July 31, 201410 yr Author FPCH Admin I figured out why the Lumina 521 (Windows 8) is so cheap. They just came out with the Lumina 530 (Windows 8.1) http://conversations.nokia.com/2014/07/23/lumia-530/ ~I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.~ ~~Robert McCloskey~~
August 18, 201410 yr Funny, bad things tend to happen in groups lol. My Galaxy 3 was run over after I accidentally left it on the top of my car in the best buy parking lot after loading two 27" LCD's. So, I'm using my old T-Mobile MyTouch 4G temporarily. It happens to be a great little phone though for short usage. Depending on how my job shakes out over the next few months I will be upgrading to the Galaxy 5 soon ... although, I noticed I use a phone more as a 'phone" instead of a "net device" which makes me question just how much of a smartphone I really need. Also I don't like them too big that I can't slide it directly in my pant pockets. I have seen this phone out there (Lumina 521) I might get one just to play with so see how much I really need, and if I even need/want android.
August 18, 201410 yr Author FPCH Admin The Lumia 521 is a Windows phone. One thing it lacks is LTE support but for the price, you can't beat it. ~I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.~ ~~Robert McCloskey~~
August 18, 201410 yr I am with you Catch, I use a phone more as a phone than anything. Yes I do credit card swipes with it and I use the calculator and calendar for dates but I am concerned over the release of the iPhone 6 which will be a bit bigger than my 4S and I really don't want that. The 5S is a 1/2 " longer and I can live with that so I am hoping they promote the remaining 5s phones when the 6 comes out or I may go to an Android. Those big Samsungs turn me off because of the size also.
