rename the thread to 'android thread v. sk17a'

No, no, no!

It should be this, "Android Thread V5: GTFO SK17a"

and it's coming from me, a proud owner of the Xperia Mini Pro SK17a, who has started this whole mastarace thing.

S2 if you want a smaller screen, Note if you want a huge screen

Or, Nexus for bragging rights but not much else

The note looks pretty cool, but the only thing with the Android phones is they all only seem to be 32gb storage? Which is why i was looking at the 64gb iphone as well, for movies and music...

Can't decide whats better!

I agree, phone makers need to go over 32gb internal. 64gb+32gb microSD card expansion would be epic. Tons of high end games, etc.

My Mini Pro only has 400mb...

...and 300mb is actually usable...

You know what Android phones have that iPhones dont?

A stylus (Galaxy Note)

all phones have styluses, it's just the Note that is specifically designed for that

Is the Galaxy Note the largest legitimate Android phone at 5.3 inches?

You could brag with the Note and have good excuses for using it anywhere, because of the stylus and gigantic screen. Use it in school: excuse would be to take notes but nope, you play Cut The Rope instead.

If you want a super small phone, the Xperia Mini Pro SK17a is good too, if you have small hands, small pockets or small budget and want a small phone.

Yeah, most people in my school here have either blackberries or iPhones, they were amazed to see my S2

They'd probably call bullshit on the Note

oh yeah, a phone with a physical keyboard: teachers would say bull to note taking as they always think you would be texting in class.

But I don't have a texting plan

That's why I never show (or really use) the keyboard.

is the sims 3 any good?

I've actually seen some teacher I think (I'm new at the school) who had a Note. I woulda stopped and asked him about it but I was with some friends so I couldn't.

It's alright, but there are several options that are not on it.

And some users had problems with it.

Having strange issues with my Galaxy Nexus that I bought two weeks ago... wondering if it's worth trying to get a replacement?

Sometimes the phone will randomly restart. I'll feel this by the short vibration of the 'Google' boot logo from my pocket. Sometimes when it restarts, the phone momentarily locks up, (hardlock), crackles/pops, and then restarts.

And sometimes the lockscreen will totally be unresponsive. I'm on 4.0.1.

Any ideas?

$100 price cut on Sony's Tablet S!

Sony has cut $100 off the price of its first tablet, the Tablet S, in a move to entice consumers to its Android slate.

Those who buy a Tablet S also receive a free 180-day trial of Sony's Music Unlimited service, as well as five free rentals from Sony's Video Unlimited Service.

Through the end of January, the company is offering up five free downloadable "Classic PlayStation" games in its PlayStation Store app for new Tablet S owners as well.

The price drop, as listed in Sony's online store, pushes the Tablet S down to $399.99 with 16 gigabytes of built-in storage or $499.99 for 32 gigabytes of storage.

The dual-screen Sony Tablet P, which made its debut alongside the Tablet S as a prototype in April, still hasn't been released or given a launch date, although the tech giant promises it is on the way.

The Tablet S features a 9.4-inch touchscreen with 1280 x 800 resolution and a wedge-like shape that makes the slate feel something like a rolled magazine in the hand. A Wi-Fi Internet connection is needed for use.

The device also has a 5-megapixel camera in the rear and a 0.3-megapixel camera up front, 1-gigabyte of RAM and a dual-core Nvidia Tegra2 processor. The tablet runs on Google's Android Honeycomb operating system, but Sony has promised an update to the newer Android Ice Cream Sandwich.

Yeah, $100 price drop is pretty nice and you get some more stuff.

Yeah but they all say micro SD up to 32gb so I don't know whether Android doesn't support more or whether you don't even get Micro SD bigger than 32gb.

If windows had full support for ext2/3/4 then you'd get full space, we'd even have proper unified storage without mtp.

I mean the phone automatically converts it to fat32, or at least that's what the post I've linked says, but it would be nice if windows actually supported ext2/3/4

The Galaxy Nexus' NFC chip is in the battery, right?

If that's the case, could the Note get NFC if it got an NFC battery and the right software?
