CES 2013 - Off-topic

Just got my CES ticket! Totally psyched.
Anyone else going?
If no, i'll happily cover the event for you guys =D
If yes, how about a meetup? Would be epic to meet some of you guys.

no-one, huh? :/

A coverage of the event would do for me. Thanks.
||I'm just a PM away for help||

Oh it would only cost me about 5000 euros to go there. No biggy, I have a few flecks of dust in an old sock somewhere....
A coverage will do just fine.

Yeah, I lucked out by registering early enough that the tickets were free. The drive from SoCal to Vegas just isn't that bad, and my uncle LOVES Vegas so I was able to 'borrow' some of his 'frequent hotel miles ' (whatever they're actually called ) so its really cheap.
Sadly I'm fairly hard up for money, so I (probably) can't afford a decent camera.... Hopefully I'll be getting a galaxy note ii by then tho, and I plan on just switching on Google+ instant upload for my pictures so anyone who's interested can check it out.
Now what I really want is a galaxy camera, but I think that's asking for a bit much.

Trying to get a new phone for the event..... Saving up for a Note II...

Figured I'd bump this.....
Is no one else going? :/

How much are the tickets? And how'd you get it for free?

If you register early enough they're free. I registered as soon as registration opened. They get progressively more expensive as time goes by though, so that means that if tickets are even still available they're gonna cost an arm and a leg.
Ill check how much they cost now (if they're still available) when I get home.

Hello XDA :)

Hey everyone, Just hopped on board after long time of using the forums, figured I might as well start posting and learning more and more.
My name is Kris, and it all started for me on the original android phone (G1) and now am upgraded to the G2
I also work in mobile sales.
I'll post pictures of screens, and more detailed backround when I hit my limit...
Welcome aboard

Thanks a bunch, is there an easier way to get approved, kinda stinks that I can't post pictures or have a sig
There is no other way.
Be patient and once you become an active member with more posts you´ll have all XDA features unlocked
Yeah, I read that it was like 12 posts or something? I'm not worried about it, i hate spam bots just as much as anyone else.
Okay so more about me now
I'm from Cincinnati, OH, always had a love for electronics, gaming, mma, and cars.
We'll start with the electronics, I am currently using the temp rooted overclocked HTC Vision :G2 and am loving every second of it.
I play a ton of xbox 360 (COD, Halo, UFC) also have a modded console, and such.

had 7 of them for a while, bought broken ones and fixed them, had a Jtag also.
And onto cars, I had my dream car, but wasn't the right time to own it, so I sold it. I am currently just driving around a 05 civc.
Meet my 94 Supra TT
Hope this all works out for a better introduction. Like I said, I hope to stay an active member, as I'd really like to know how to create apps and such.
That is the best introduction i have ever seen!!!
I my self are a xbox 360 fixing enthusiast!
I got a premium for free not reading discs and it only cost me £40 for a new drive!
then i got an elite for free with rrod, but i couldn't fix it. So i got £26.09 when i sold it on eBay.
So i bought a Ps3 off eBay that didn't read discs and that come to a total of £118, and they are about £160 second hand.
Anyway, nice supra!
Thanks man, I really tried to wait until I could kinda show everything, besides just talking about it. If anyone ever really needs me, I'll probably be hanging out in the G2 section, until I get put on a concession line and get the incredible, and Evo

Question re: phone upgrades

I see people sometimes talking about getting, for instance, a Thunderbolt, to replace their Droid X. My question is, how are they buying the phones? Verizon only (I thought) gives discounts when your contract is within a few months of expiring, so are they paying full price for the phones? $400, $500, $600, etc? Can someone explain this to me?
I wouldn't worry about it, the world is ending this weekend...

A lot of people do pay full price but most just sell what they have to part subsidise their new purchase. Otherwise it's wait until the contract is up.
Getting back off topic...what are you doing with your last few hours of existance?

It has a button, to open up the top of the HDD (lol)
and this is what he gets:
No offense for the Chinese Friends, but anyone here have faced the same problem? lol
Lol if its too good to by true it proally is

this.
That's fantastic, but in fairness to the Chinese faking people you should take a look at an episode of the last TopGear series. They show the fake cars they make over there, direct copys of the latest models and some are pretty damn good for what they are

Congrats, you bought a walking stick. 4$.. not bad, not bad!
Hey, at least he gets a 1TB thumb drive for $4. Cheers up.
some of the counterfeits ive seen look just like the real thing and an average person wont be able to make out that its fake
Really nice that someone believes he can buy 1TB for 4$
He has him self to blame, love the big wall bolts

UK - Second Batch / Non-Play Store Thread

So, will you be holding out for the second batch from the Play store or purchasing from somewhere else?
I've called Google a couple of times and been given no definite answer very vague in fact. 'Check online'
I've phoned and called into CarPhoneWarehouse local to me, 'N4, don't know, no idea'
Where else have you tried?
Dates for availability?
Prices?
I'm waiting oin mine to be dispacthed but I do believe Google are starting to say 2 weeks a lot more consistently in their emails. Not the greatest of info but I hope it's a start.. :good:
Well I didn't get one so I'm holding for the next Batch.
Went to my local CPW this morning they did have them in stock but they for contact only.
I did get to play around with one. I must say its a big stop up from the plastic galaxy nexus

They will be selling it SIM-free, but they're not sure when. They're waiting for the green light from HQ and they're waiting for more stock to come in. Because they're not sure when they're selling they are also unsure of pricing. I have been told £349.99 directly but there are rumours it's going to be £389.99, as you can see from the graph above.

Sims... Pick one up for Rascarlo. Then he can send you all the donation money we've been collecting
Sent from my often RMA'd Nexus 4, So that I can use the one I'm using now when I get the 6th and hopefully final one.
A few of the T Mobile stores in my area want $549 for it or $199.99 under contract.
No thank you t mobile
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
T-Mobile at it again Google must love them to give them phones when they still have so many orders to fill. Anyway your better getting one off eBay new for cheaper. Just joined T-Mobile and data is good and plan is cheaper. But there customer service is the worst I have ever seen and in some places calls drop or break up.
But coming from sprint were 3g data is horrible its an upgrade. I hope Google buys T-Mobile
