Hello everyone, not sure if this is the correct spot for this post but i wanted to know if any of you have purchased any games directly from gameloft. They are currently having a holiday sale where u buy a game for $4.99 and you get one free. Now to me that sounds like to good to be true but im still curious you know. They do have some pretty good games like N.O.V.A. and much more. Any feedback from you guys would be awesome.
Heres is the url where i found their website
http://wapshop.gameloft.com/us/spri...02=216209736754a7692829&from=ADID-21999&c=223
It's a legit offer if that's what you are asking. They have a lot of cool games but I usually just wait until they offer free games and then I download them. I was able to get Hero of Sparta and Let's Golf for free.
warning about gameloft, it was confirmed that they double charged lots of their customers that purchased a game from them, I didn't have a problem after purchasing Dungeon Hunter so its not an every customer problem but there are many still having issues getting refunds

Oh really? Whas this recent? Its making me think twice now.

Hey, did anyone actually do this deal? I ordered one game, I paid, and then I ordered another game from the free list and... I paid again... how do I get the free games?
join the marketplace gameloft, sheesh.
i bought asphalt 5 or something a while back and i dont think i get free updates, unless i buy it again.. aint that some BS?
gameloft doesnt deserve my money until joining.
I refuse to pay for games and apps...the phone was expensive enough..especially the stupid ten extra dollars a month for 4g (which has no coverage when you live way out in the sticks)

I did this twice. The first time there was a "download free game" link that was displayed after i made the purchase, so that was easy. The second time I didn't get that same link. I ended up emailing them and they sent me a link for a free game. I personally haven't had any problems with them, but have only made 3 or 4 purchases with them since getting my EVO, so YMMV. They did take a while to respond to my email (5 or 6 days) but since it was around Christmas time I'll give them a pass on that.
I think they have some of he best mobile games around. Silly as it may sound but I'm after console like gaming and their games are about as close as you can get. Also, EA has a deal right now , .99 cents a game. That includes nfs shift, which imo is the best looking racer we have. I remember when games were 15 to 30 dollars for games, abiet, this was before the iPhone and Android application model existed.

4 bucks to own? Or rent.
blockbuster removed it from the market i think. I read it from androidcentral. they said the app isn't optimized for other phones but they will make it soon
netflix is better, and with the soon to be released netflix app, it will totally dominate.

Lol was gonna ask for your source, then just googled it myself xD
not to put blockbuster down, but it really just cant compete with the no added fee instant streams and the unlimited movie/month dvd's for only $9. The only thing that can compete is Redbox and its doing quite well(off topic) especially since redbox is currently beta testing game rentals in their kiosks here in Reno.
I hope they change the app to free or cheaper rentals cause I use blockbuster online like crazy. I love it cause I can exchange a movie in the store for a new release on tuesdays. Can't even get a lot of new movies from netflix.

Hi XDA,
For the EVO owners who have a Chase bank account, the new Android app has finally come out in the market. This was the one thing I missed when coming from iOS. Now that it's finally here I thought it would be appropriate to share worth the community. You cam find it by searching the market for "Chase".
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I think it's been out for almost 2 months now. The app is ok but I still use Pageonce for all my tracking. The plus would be depositing checks through your phone.
Interesting....i did not know it was out for so long. I would've used it much sooner.
I found out by heading into Chase to deposit some checks and my clerk told me about it.
The Android market is getting better every day.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I've been using it and even deposited a couple checks and works great.
I emailed them this summer and asked them if they would come out with an android app, and they said no!
Downloading now..

It was probably some outsourced company in ***** who emailed you back. I find it's always easier to just ask on a forum because members, for the most part, tend to know more about these kind of things.

After using it, I have highly considered this option and may do so. To me, it is MUCH better than the marketplace and seems more user friendly.

Amazon is also good for getting adfree apps, like angry birds (legitimately, I bought it for a buck).
However, I agree with the above, mainly because Amazon can't detect which apps are installed and which need updating.

Free paid apps.
I myself have actually used it for that. When I see an app that is normally $2
or so and it's free, i'll grab it. However, I have seen a few free apps that seem to only have a 1 star rating, so who knows.
I hope they don't start off with some great apps then go downhill and offer nothing we want.
You never know, this app may take over the market. Very well possible as Amazon has been in the marketplace business longer than Google. I guess only time will tell.
Don't use it or like it
How do you get this app store? Can you virw and download from your phone?

I am using it to get their free apps, but I don't think it is as fast. I still use appbrain.com on my computer to browse through apps and load them later. I only go to the google apps store when I know what I am looking for or I need to do it on the fly.
My money was on Google and Amazon finally getting together and doing the app store up right with music and everything, but it looks like that is not going to happen with Google releasing their music store soon and Amazon having just released their app store. I ramble.
Epic with Syndicate Frozen ROM 1.1. I tried the rest and now on to the best.
Well it makes sense for amazon to lock down their apps. Sure everyone hates the idea, but understand their point of view on that. I mean you can't even remove the google market without root lol. So why don't you complain about that?

really? this game is too easy. just dodge when he charges. in first place he charges once, then hit him, second place he will charge twice before getting "stunned" then hit him, last place he charges three times in a row before getting stunned hit him then. fairly simple. havent tried it above normal difficulty though.

Not because it's WM7.
Not because it's "older technology."
But simply because it doesn't have a Wimax radio and yet it has the extra $10 charge.

Windows phone 7 is awesome, had hardware acceleration, Xbox live gaming (friends etc), and I'd very solid. Its just that the arrive itself would be a downgrade even though it has a 1ghz snapdragon the screen is really small. Hardware keyboard is amazing and the phone itself is a very solid build. The 720p recording owns the evos video recording by a long shot. If the arrive was the HD7 (the t-mobile windows phone) I'd say trade your evo for it in a heartbeat since its the same specs but better gpu but no hdmi. If sprint gets a 4.3" wp7 phone like the hd7 or even a dual core im jumping ship.
Verdict: Arrive is pretty much a wp7 evo shift. Screen is 2 small for me but its a great device. I've used it personally. No 4G is a deal breaker though.

People **** on WP7 because they have no idea and they're wanna be fanboys. I love android to death but I can honestly say wp7 is a pretty sick OS. I believe by 2012 WP7 is going to give android a run for their money right now especially because they're already a household name; pushing out updates and playing catch up is what's going on now just give them time. The same happened with android surpassing iOS they just needed time. The new wp7 mango update is a huge leap for them. Like I said just give them time; sprint needs a 4.3" wp7 phone asap man the social and enterprise integration on wp7 is just beautiful.

It was really cool since I had experience with the zune marketplace before so it wasn't new to me. I freaking love the deep Xbox integration how you can unlock achievements and play multiplayer games with friends etc. Xbox live integration is enough for me to drool of a dual core wp7 phone. Their marketplace is coming along nicely I might add. If you really wanna play around with the arrive don't trade your evo just buy one off Craigslist. I saw a few about 160+; very cheap 9 outta 10 phones.

I've owned iPhones, various Android devices and I currently have an Arrive. The screen on the Arrive is a downer when compared to the Evo. However,the colors on the Arrive seems a lot more crisp. in my eyes, The Zune Marketplace is a winner . I think its better than iTunes and way better than Google Music. The games that available in the marketplace for wp7 i ls also amazing. The keyboard is a really nice feature and the on-screen keyboard is one of of kind...its the most accurate keyboard I've ever used.
Some of the things I miss on Android and isn't available for wp7 users is Google maps, Latitude and the ability to text over !60 characters.
Nevertheless, both devices are wonderful devices.

It's crazy, Sprint makes people pay that extra $10 for 4G when the service isn't even available in your area.
Anyways, I've been seeing a lot of Evo's for sale recently, maybe because the Evo 3D is about to come out. But, I haven't really seen that many Arrives for sale on Craigslist where I live. I think, I only seen about 2 ads posted for resale here on craigslist since the phone was even released.
