its 3.7 same as nexus one and bigger than iphone

How is 3.7 inches small? =/
Honestly I am getting tired of these two groups of people: 1) "I am going to sell my Vibrant for the G2 because Vibrant sucks" and 2) "Vibrant is the greatest thing ever... G2 sucks". Seriously people, they are both great phones. Get over it.

Glad you told us. I for one really sincerely am concerned about what you do with your personal property. You selling your phone is so important to tell everyone, so i am glad you did. Bottling it up inside isnt healthy.
Good luck on your important life journey of what electronics you use.

Were is the "Like" Button when you need it

OP good luck with your investment, money well spent...BTW Samsung still gets your money whether you sell it or not

Ha-ha, yea I'm glad the OP let us in in his decision. Now I can finally get some rest...

I just put an old bread machine on eBay myself. Sweet. Let's have a race to see who sells first!

it like the OP wants us to talk some scene into him...or not.

Thank you for keeping the XDA community involved with the precious decision of which phone you use. I know I don't just speak for myself when I say that we can sleep more soundly now.

The comments one could make... which have nothing to do with phones, of course. Mostly the your mom or your girlfriend jokes.
I love my Vibrant... G2's okay... I'm just over the slide-out keyboard thing.

Just bought an old bread machine on eBay! Mmmm, cinnamon raisin.

Wow, way to fail a troll. I like you people.

whats your point? We should all sell our vibrant and get G2?

im thinking of switching from boxers to boxer briefs.
seems just a relevant as this post

What is this? You just want to let people know how unfairly you were treated by your phone? Or perhaps T-Mobile? "Waaah, my phone doesnt have froyo yet"? Do us all a favor and cry yourself a river, build yourself a bridge and get the f**k over it.

Vibrant vs a Car door

I thought I would share with you the sad results of my Vibrant after it got in a fight with a car door.
Luckily I still have my G1.

Why do people think screen protectors will protect against breakage? SPs protect against scratches - not shattering.

Yea no screen protector can help that Lol!

Maybe. However, I have heard too many people claim SP will broke against breakage...

Yeah most people think, "if it falls from a 5 story building, screen first it'll be okay since I have a screen protector".
Luckily, I have a case, and a screen protector. I know if that happened to me, I would still be screwed. I also have the T-Mobile insurance ;D.

Make sure u throw ur vibrant at the car door and make a dent so the vibrant can have the last word and get his revenge

The car door exploded at impact with the Vibrant.
I don't always complain, but when I do, I #BlameWes

What's the verdict? Does vibrant has Gorilla Glass or not?
Joking aside, sorry about your phone. I hope you have the Tmobile insurance.

Awesome destruction
You should hot glue it to plaque' and then stain it. Then you could sell it on Ebay as art.

ouch.

We need to believe that SP makes our phones super safe because that's the only way we can justify buying them

**facepalm**
Of course it was a joke...duh

I'm still wondering how it happened.
I mean for the phone to be on the door opening at the right time.
in most cars the phone will either fall outside on inside the car.
It must have performed an awesome balancing act to be broken right down the middle.
what i bet happened is that he raged and slammed it against the edge of a table or countertop.

Accidental damage warranty exchange?

Dropped my Xperia Z :(

I've just knocked my XZ off my sofa whilst on charge and it hit a tile from my fire place! Checked the phone thoroughly and was just about to go get a beer to celebrate when I noticed a small little crack on the side under the volume button :'(
Its not really noticeable tbh but I know it's there! I might get three to exchange it now and say somethings wrong with it as it will bug me like hell!
Dam this is first time I have been clumsy with a phone!

That's what you get for not using a case.

Tell them you only just unboxed it & it's cracked.

Do you wrap a porsche in plastic bumpers? No. What's the point in buying a good looking device if you'll hide it in a case? Why not just get the Casio G-Shock?

I take mine out at home. Solely to keep it clean outside I put it in a case, not to mention protection. Also, if you have it in a case it's harder for potential thieves to spot expensive phones from worthless ones. A big thin slab looks expensive.

1. I tend to keep myself out of mud and dirty places.
2. I don't live in an area with a lot of crime or poor people.
But we are having a stupid discussion here. Some people like to have some extra protection and some people don't. It's easy as that.

I live in London and going through parts with poor people in them is a given. :crying:
It's not mud, it's some jackass spilling his drink and you putting your phone in the place an hour later.
It's not a stupid discussion, I like hearing other views. It's no more stupid than this thread.

Ahhh, okay i can imagine it may help masking your phone a little so it won't have a "please steal me, Sir!" tag on it And i've also had the occasional "this looks like a clean spot.... aaaaaand it's not", but i like living on the edge, one bar at a time :silly:

HTC One vs 50 Cal Rifle

Just in case you guys haven't seen this awesome video yet, check out out, a 50 Cal rifle tears straight through the aluminum body of the HTC One.

How does it compare to other devices under the same testing conditions?

Well they all get absolutely blown to shreds but for some reason there was less of the HTC One than other phones such as the GS4 which is made out of plastic, not sure why?

Edit: nevermind.

Haha! The HTC One split into half... The bullet turned into powder!
Yeah I know Dream on
Now this should be a lesson for HTC. The next flagship should be bullet proof as opposed to sony's water proof.
Now let's make some titanium metal casing for our phones

Because he hit the One dead on center. Pretty obvious.

Why even test this? I don't get it. Waste of an awesome phone. Perfect example of first world problems

Screen coming unglued!!!

I dont know if this is the first "gate" fiasco for this phone but it definitely sounds like the glue is coming undone! Worst part is that I just pulled the phone out of the box. Everybody better check their screens. Im calling it Glue-gate

Honestly just fire it up, play some games for a few hours, let the glue heat up.. see if that helps

Its gotten worse with me using it and it getting warm. It didn't do this when I first took it out of the box. I've had it out of the box for about 2 hours and now the sound gets longer and longer. Like more areas of the screen are coming undone.

Kind of true and kind of false. Some of these stores are 3rd party retailers. They have their own inventory and at times have their own promotions. For example the one near my house smells and looks like T-Mobile, but it's owned and operated by a different company.

OK so I had to call like 3-4 times in order to get them to ship me a new one before I send mine back. But it'll be here on Monday. I will say that the screen scratches really easily... I only put it in an empty pocket once and only for like 2 minutes! It's got two fine scratches on the screen already. To all of y'all who plan on going without a screen protector, good luck! You are definitely going to need it

Haha I've always wanted to be the first out of the gate, but I'll let you have this one.

I've heard this from more than one source, it seems like the GG5 is less prone to breaks, but more prone to scratches. On a hardness scale I seen it got scratched at 3 and the S7 edge was like a 7 or 8. Mine is sitting in the box til I get my Xtremeguard and either The Spigen I paid for, or the promos Rinke sent me to review.
