I do see banks are adding apps to check your banking accounts. Whats nexts with our smartphone?
When I opened my account at Bank of America yesterday the lady told me they are working on ATMs that will just require you to wave your card infringement of the machine.
I wouldn't be surprised if the same technology could be adapted for out phones.

On the one hand... I have no idea why this is in our forum, since Starbucks officially only has Blackberry and Apple apps.
On the other hand... This is Android, so a guy made his own.

Yup, but he is quoting a source of his own.... anyone know how credible his source is?
I predict every new smart phone from Sprint will have 4G and its 10 dollar up-charge.
eh, im somewhat ok with that. if all their androids come with 4g and the 10 dollar charge, then im mad.
I hope it's not very heavy...
(bad pun)a Light Sabor, so to speak.(/bad pun)
I predict that every newer technology will be better than old technology and if you're always waiting for the new thing, you'll never get the new thing. Stop waving your e-penis. Buy the toys and tools you want. Yours isn't better than mine if I can do cooler things with it. Etc...
I have a Hero. I love it. I want an Evo. It'll be outdated soon. New stuff will come out and I'll want it. It will be outdated soon. Notice the pattern?

I doubt every new smart phone will - just because BlackBerry seems lazy.
Now in 2 years - yes every smartphone will...
BTW: How do you define smart phone? BB is not in my definition of smart...but it seems to be in everyone else's.
I'm glad I got new golf clubs for father's day instead of the Evo! I think I made the right choice. I am seeing something very nice like this in my Christmas stocking instead!
I can't stopping laughing.
This the phone I have waited for a long time.

agree.. i don't consider a BB a smart phone at all..
on a side note, why do people still cry over $10 extra for 4G??? so what if its not in your area right now.. chances are most people that don't have it in their area at the moment will travel to areas that do have the coverage, and sprint isn't gonna let u use it for free.. and besides.. it's only $10 a month.. try this, save yourself from eating a McDonalds value meal twice each month and you got your $10 covered. not really that big of a deal..

McDonals = $10 per trip for me....stupid mcflurries. I am a fat kid in a skinny kids body.
I never go to mcdonalds, and hardly ever go eat anywhere else for that matter.
Even if you travel somewhere with 4g, how long will most people be there to use it? Id rather them turn the 4g radio off and not pay the $10. I assume it would save battery power for those with no 4g in our area.

Hey, just to let you guys know if you did not already but the Google Nexus one will no longer be available from google. I know that many of us g1 users are/were thinking about this phone as the replacment for our great htc dreams. It will now sell exclusively from vodaphone. That means no chance to buy one (not second hand) in Canada (and I believe the states either).
You can see for your self at
www.google.com/phone
this sucks because I cannot buy it in Canada AND this will now drive the craigslist prices up!
This is a really strange move on Google's part, to sell exclusively in Europe.

Pretty sure you can pay the $25 registration fee and then buy the phone, I'm PRETTY sure you do not need to post an app to the market first.

I am just waiting for the first canadian carrier to show us that they actually CARE about bringing in the big androids under their names.
Its a huge pissoff that no carriers try to sign the big name phones.
There is no nexus one, no evo, no droid x, no galaxy s, no mtslide. no vibrant, no cliq
WTF do they want me to buy, an x10...
or a legend (they seriously act like the legend is a top notch phone)

That army of one video game was the ****! Well, as far as learning how to shoot and maintain your rifle goes. LOL...I used to fail at shooting just so I could sit in a nice warm room playing video games while everyone else was freezing and laying in the mud.
When I joined...they offered me a backpack and a track suit. Both of which I never received.
Through in a free case for that iPhone and you got a deal! Ya know ill need reception to call for back up. I can't wait to have those touching moments with the front cam like they do in the commercials.
So yeah, they will give you a free phone, but they are going to charge you for all your clothes and gear. That stuff is way more expensive than a phone. Back in the day, the gear was all free.
When I was at Fort Lost in the Woods I didn't get jack crap. I had a good time granted the learning of US weapons and explosives, and night training, and MRE's, and well physical fitness. But not a damn phone cheap bastards. I guess before the Bush admin we got a half-million dollar life insurance policy upgrade. So I always have that....

Anyways, giving your life away saving someone elses country will never be worth an iphone, evo, or a million dollars in my opinion. Too much worrying about what goes on in the world and not enough fixing our own country talked me out of a 50 thousand dollar sign on bonus for a 6 year enlistment. It just isnt worth dying over religious belief conflicts.

Offer only for new member.
I bought it. It works great. I had a problem with the domain and I contacted the live support and they solved the problem immediately.
do we have to go with 5.95/month after 1yr ?
Is there any 2-3 year commitment ?
I dont think so. After 1 year only if i get a nice price i will continue with this hosting company.
iPage is good. I use them to host my 7 websites. Not as good as hostmonster which I miss. But they are good.
Just got mine!!! Thank you for catching this!

Thanks given. I have my sites hosted through greengeeks and have been happy so far but went ahead and jumped on this. For $1 I'm not worried bout getting banned from the service which greengeeks has threatened me with. (I like to upload and share lots of files) Good post man, thanks for the info. :good:
Hey, just got the service and it seems to be working great! And it doesn't look like you are in any sort of 2yr thingy.
thanks! i got one for $1. I've been wanting to try putting up a website for a while now, this is a good deal to try my hands on but not shell out a lot of money if it turns out i'm not really into it.

Your most likely right but @supremekizzle did the right thing.
legally they can't do anything. shipping something to someone is concidered a gift if you didn't authorize the purchase.

Yeah, but in all likelyhood if I would've kept it they would've found out anyway. The funny thing is, it originally was shipped with UPS shurepost which I upgragged to UPS ground. The second one I got was also upgrated automatically. So I wonder if they shipped it out using the exact same shipping label. Maybe they would've never found out after all. But it'd be a ****ty thing for me to do to keep it

Good job OP.
Man screw that. I wouldnt have said a word... Karma doesnt affect business deals, only when you screw over a person.
I had a similiar issue with a Nexus 10. I had to exchange it so Google sent me an RMA, i sent it back and they said they never got it yet they sent me a new one when they were in stock.
Then refunded my money. So in essence, I got free Nexus 10 Tablet form Google.
The same people that hoard our data and then sell it without our knowledge or TRUE consent (yeah, Samsung does it too!) dont deserve the same rights that the shop keep down the street from me deserves.
OP you wasted your time emailing. They gifted you a tablet. Were were you when I was struggling for donations to buy mine? lol

I'm not sure that's true. Zavvi sent out PS Vita's by accident to customers and made a legal case out of it. AFAIK, they were actually backed up by UK law. That said, I'm sure it's entirely a country dependant thing.
