This is a very interesting suggestion. I see now why people just sign up with carriers, it's confusing as hell trying to determine if XYZ phone is compatible with Solavei or whether you'll get 4G speed, and even then your choice of phones is limited. The phone specs are confusing. Some Galaxy S III specs say dual-core, others say quad-core. And buying the Nexus 4 from Google Play is confusing. I see no way of knowing if the phone would be compatible with Solavei, or if it comes with a sim card, or what it would cost to buy it separately. So it seems like there is some risk involved with purchasing a phone on the internet, you may not get what you really want/need. That risk is minimized when you walk into a Sprint store. I went into Sprint the other day to look at the Optimus G. I didn't like the feel of the phone in my hand. There were no phones I really fell in love with. iPhone 5 has a smaller screen than my Galaxy S! They had Galaxy S III but eh, it's blue! The Sprint guy wanted to make a deal badly. On the Galaxy S III they were asking $199 each with 2-year deal. The guy said he would give me $44 for my old Galaxy S and then after I didn't pull the trigger on that he said he would give me $100 more off of each Galaxy S III (my wife and I would have a shared plan). So I could have had Galaxy S III for $55 each with 2-year plan (TODAY ONLY!!!), vs. $575.00 each from gsmnation.com with Solavei sim card. The plan (for my wife and me) would be about $160 per month on Sprint vs. $98 on Solavei. So over a 2-year span I might save about $450 with Solavei, assuming we had no problems with the phones, etc. And of course Sprint would manage transferring all the data, contacts etc. from our old phones to the new phones, that's worth something.

I think any phone I buy must have a micro-sd slot.

the myopia is strong with this one

Wow this is big news. So now who's the goat?

Thanks. What's the advantage of a pure Google experience vs. some other partially Google experience?

ok, NOW I'm concerned.

haha

Luckily we're not really trying to get anyone out, otherwise I might be concerned.

Is this a good phone? You can get it for $49.99 with 2-year agreement, Sprint or AT&T Seems pretty nice, not one of the giant phones. Looking to upgrade from my old Samsung GS but don't want a really big phone. I could stay small by going with iPhone but I would rather stick with Android.

Leaked iPhone 5S home button may debunk fingerprint scanner rumor http://news.yahoo.com/leaked-iphone-5s-home-button-may-debunk-fingerprint-171411124.html It was believed that Apple was planning to include a fingerprint scanner in the home button, however this is now in doubt because the purported iPhone 5S button looks nearly identical to the one found on the iPhone 5. According to MacRumors, the only difference is the positioning and size of the flex cable. The internal vibrator is also similar to the one found in the iPhone 5, once again suggesting that the iPhone 5S won’t include any major design changes from earlier models.

I have the AT&T DSL also and it's about $40. It's not bad. Nowhere near as fast as FIOS but I don't have that option in my neighborhood. I should probably dump my land line and the DSL in favor of Roadrunner internet but I've always hated Time Warner.

I feel bad for the kid but if he wants to blame somebody it should be himself for joining the military, not the government for sending him to Iraq.

wild pitch

nice work Ernesto

It's only spring training. Not concerned at all.

sorry but I'm getting a little tired of losing

Since when does a phone have to be an expensive device? Sprint is selling GS3's for $99 with 2-year contract

Santa Monica gets $1 million to measure residents' well-beinghttp://articles.latimes.com/2013/mar/13/local/la-me-well-being-20130314 On Wednesday, the seaside city was named a winner in the first-ever Bloomberg Philanthropies' Mayors Challenge, with an idea Santa Monica Mayor Pam O'Connor called a "game-changer." As one of four runners-up in the nationwide competition, the city will receive the award as seed money to develop its "Wellbeing Project." Santa Monica's project will be carried out over the next two years, and its creators hope to develop a model that can be used nationwide, said Santa Monica city staff member Dean Kubani. Work with Rand Corp. and other experts will continue as the index develops, Kubani said. The city will need to gather data on factors that drive well-being, such as economics, education, health and social connectedness, and ultimately that data will be funneled into an overall well-being score. In the second year of the project, officials said they will use the index to frame decisions by city government, neighborhood groups and nonprofits.

Only listen to KLAA during Angels games. Oh and the Sunday morning Joe Morgan show. /justkidding
