I got my Arc on that plan (same terms except ?40/mo).

You should also mention that in their unlimited data plan, they also support tethering (it's on their site!) :)

At one point my internet went out for a week, I kept on trollin' by tethering the phone. Got no complaints from them (Y)

This pretty much explains why the SGSIII is the way it is:

The First Smartphone Designed Entirely By Lawyers

I just realized it doesn't even have a black option, lol.

Interesting read, but I'm in agreement with the first comment to that article: if Samsung really went for a new design, they wouldn't have this problem in the first place. The HTC One X looks fantastic (and I don't even like HTC) and not iPhone-ish at all.

It's a damn shame too in regards to the design because everyone I know was sitting ready for the new Galaxy SIII and that is what they came out with. Very disappointed.

I forgot about tethering. I use it when I go away to places instead of paying for wi-fi (unless its free). My iPhone 4 is on that plan too but i pay ?35. I just love the fact that its 'truly' unlimited - goes quite nicely with my Spotify Premium subscription. :)

Smartphones are nowadays designed for more than average sized humans. :D 4.8 inch display seems closer to the Note. I will be personally happy with a 4.3 inch one, so will be passing this one.

There comes a point where a phone just gets too bulky. I can't imagine the Galaxy S III will sit comfortably in my pocket. Especially not when going out.

That is the reason I despise the Galaxy Nexus and the HTC One X even though both are awesome. I feel like my pockets will burst with their sizes. :D

    • This Dell 27 inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor is really cheap after a very long time by Sayan Sen Recently we covered a really good deal on an AMD RX 9070 three-fan model that's available at slightly above its MSRP. If you are looking for a GPU for 1440p gaming that's around the performance of the Nvidia RTX 5070 you should most definitely check it out. Let's say that you are looking for a monitor to pair that up with too. The Samsung 49" G9 curved QD-OLED superultrawide is a good option that can provide an immersive experience. However despite being a very good deal currently (at $855), it may seem unaffordable to you, or you may simply not want to spend as much on a monitor. In that case Dell's S2725QS can be a very good option as it's on sale at the moment for its lowest price in over six months (purchase link under the specs table down below). The big highlight of the Dell S2725QS is its 27-inch IPS panel with a 3840 x 2160 (4K UHD) resolution, offering a high pixel density that can make text appear sharper while also providing plenty of screen space for productivity and media consumption. The display supports a refresh rate of up to 120Hz through both HDMI and DisplayPort, making it suitable not only for everyday desktop use but also for smoother gaming and scrolling. AMD FreeSync Premium support is included as well, helping reduce screen tearing during gaming sessions. The screen has fairly good brightness and color accuracy so you can use it for general work purpose, though photo/video editing is probably not going to be the best match for this. The technical specs of the Dell S2725QS are given in the table below: Specification Value Viewable Screen Size 27 in (68.58 cm) Screen Mode 4K UHD Maximum Resolution 3840 × 2160 Maximum Preset Resolution 3840 × 2160 @ 120 Hz Standard Refresh Rate 120 Hz Panel Technology In-plane Switching (IPS) Backlight Technology LED Edgelight System Aspect Ratio 16:9 Pixel Pitch 0.1554 mm × 0.1554 mm Pixel Density 163 PPI Response Time 8 ms GTG, 5 ms GTG, 4 ms GTG Horizontal Viewing Angle 178° Vertical Viewing Angle 178° Brightness 350 cd/m² Native Contrast Ratio 1500:1 Color Support 1.07 Billion Colors Color Gamut 99% sRGB (CIE 1931) Adaptive Sync AMD FreeSync Premium HDCP Support Yes Mount Type Panel Mount VESA Mount 100 × 100 mm Maximum Height Adjustment 13 cm Tilt -5° to 21° Swivel -30° to 30° Pivot ±90° Stand Adjustments Tilt, Swivel, Height, Pivot Glass Hardness 3H Horizontal Frequency 27–270 kHz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Vertical Frequency 48–120 Hz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Video Inputs 2 × HDMI 2.1 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3), 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3) Operating Temperature 0°C to 40°C Storage Temperature -20°C to 60°C Operating Humidity 10%–80% (Non-condensing) Storage Humidity 5%–95% (Non-condensing) Get it at the link below: Dell S2725QS 27-inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor: $218.49 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $280) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Looks almost like what our office provides us, excluding the leg rest for obvious reasons 😴
    • Forget the iPhone. What about Android? Most Samsung Galaxy phones sold in the USA are manufactured in Vietnam. Asian countries have the infrastructure that the USA doesn't have. This is why most electronics are not made in the USA
    • The RAM would still probably be more expensive than what they were paying last year.
