I went to the AT&T store today. They don't have great phones there. I was wondering, what kind of Android phone I should get online? I want a phone that has a big screen on it mostly for surfing the web and foruming. I don't want the price to be higher than $100 USD either. Thanks,

This is really a naive way of thinking (no offense). But often I meet people like you with a simillar question and a silly price range. So I tell the person, "you do realize you are paying more for the data plan than you are for the phone for the life of the contract. You also realize that if you go with a cheaper phone, it probably will not receive anymore updates and it will be underspeced a year from now." Do yourself a favor, in the future, wait a litle bit longer, save a little bit more money and buy a newer device. You'll thank me later.

With that said, your timing is good, the Samsung Galaxy Note (which will get ICS update in a few months according to Samsung) is available for $149. http://www.gosale.co...-galaxy-note-4g

It's a big A** screen (5.3"), a 4G LTE phone (if available in your area), decent camera sensor (8MP) which will shoot at 1080p video resolution and a front facing (2MP) camera for Skype, GTAlk, etc.

Ummm okay... I'm just blown away. Thanks so much for the links and you're thoughtful comments! I'm going to go with the SG S2 or the Galaxy Note.

Go with the Galaxy Note so I can live vicariously through you. LOL.

    • Classic 7 is Windows 10 LTSC cosplaying as Windows 7

      Given only Volume license customers and specific resellers can obtain the LTSC versions legitimately it seems likely that this has been tinkered with quite a lot!
    • Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Memory and chip shortages have led to significant price increases for electronics over the past year, and it seems that more hikes are on the way for upcoming smartphones and computers. Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the company is planning to increase the prices of some of its products due to the ongoing memory and storage shortages. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cook confirmed the looming price hikes for Apple’s future products, adding that “Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable.” He also said the company is doing its best to “mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable.” The Apple CEO also noted that the allocation of a large portion of memory chips to AI companies has contributed to shortages in the market, resulting in lower supply at a time when demand for devices remains high. “We definitely need memory pricing and supply to return to reasonable levels for consumer products. That’s the bottom line,” Cook said. Cook also added that Apple is ready to use its vast cash reserves to help boost supply in the market because additional production capacity is needed. While he declined to specify how Apple plans to do that, he said the company will not build its own memory and storage factories despite its financial resources and silicon expertise. Cook did not provide further details on the scale of the price increases or which Apple products would be affected, though iPads and Macs could see higher prices sooner than other products. Apple’s next product launch event is scheduled for September, when the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone. It remains unclear whether the upcoming iPhones will be affected by the price increases, but given the current memory shortage, higher prices seem increasingly likely. There is currently no clear timeline for the end of the memory shortage. Samsung, one of the world’s three largest memory chip manufacturers, recently said the shortage could persist for several more years.

      Downloads does not equal actual usage, even less when the app is pre-installed in some Galaxy phones.

      +1000 to this, don't understand why they added that margin around the top bar, even the close button is a PITA to click without aiming. Ofc, this is just preview and hopefully they will revert such odd UX decision before hitting final version.
