[Q] Difference between XDA Free Version and Paid

I'm on XDA a lot and I've considered getting the paid version of XDA for my phone. Whats the difference between the two? Is it worth buying? I see reviews that go both ways.

Get it. It gives u more options. I have no problem with the paid version.

Donation. That's the difference

Yes. Donate to xda. Also, I musta thanked 25 people today lol. I thought it was limited, but maybe not. Oh yeah, premium has the thank feature and the multi quote feature (not sure if free has that). Still, BUY IT, it's good for us/xda. You know xda buys devs phones? You think they print the money themselves?

I've always had lots of issues with the xda app, so I went straight to the source and bought the tapatalk app. Its a much better experience.

I'm pretty sure the free version can do both of those. The free version has bothersome ads, but I'd say most people are using AdFree so they don't have to deal with them anyways.

Windows 8 Pro for Rs. 1999

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows/buy?ocid=GA8_O_MSCOM_Prog_FPP_Null_Null
Upgrade to Windows 8 Pro at Rs. 1999. See the above link for details.
Seems like a pretty good deal.

Thats a great deal, I'd buy it but I received windows 8 for free as part of my acm membership.

I have a windows 8 key but nowhere to Download it. Anyone have a link for it?

I would really edit that out since it constitutes fraud. It's not your fault that Microsoft doesn't check (I'm sure there are a ton of technical/legal hoops to jump through to get all of the vendors' customer info), but please don't leave that out in the open.

I think it is highly unlikely that you would get away with that. I am sure they have some mechanism to examine the information we give regarding the purchase. A money hungry company like Microsoft is unlikely to just give away the opportunity for people to rob them blind. Also, it is definitely not legal.

It's legit. Win8 pro is only @5 bucks. Many the sites say that.

But it does help curbing piracy. Also WIN8 will be on more PC's in a very short time.

This is the g4 forums...

Thank you everyone for your interest. At this moment there's no more free unlocks. My process worked so if you're interested in unlocking yours you can PM me.

And he will start charging us. I will rather call Tmo and ask for unlock code, for free.

Can anyone post and verify it worked?

Yes If your phone been fully paid and been used for over 30-60 days then this is not for you. I clearly said that in the OP. This is only for people with financed, blacklisted, blocked phones etc.
