This rocks.

I stand corrected, just read the link.

Wtf? This is weird.idk I'll have to try
My luck tomorrow at best buy
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

We already knew it wasn't locked. No matter were you get it, it will work wifi only. The activation is being forced by the place you purchase.

Correct, we knew it wasn't locked, but weren't sure about activation due to BB ad and changes to Galaxy Tab.

I have a pre-order at Bestbuy but called Verizon store and the rep there told me that I don't have to activate it if I don't want. I did tell her that I had a pre-order at BB and that I would rather buy from them anyway. She is holding one for me and with no activation or credit check needed.

More likely to be an error
<-- evil me = someone buy it. use the hell out of it within few days. then return it back on and say its not 2.1 as advertised. this will teach the f****rs something.

Agreed!!!!
Expansys UK lists the phone as 1.6 Donut somebody in another expansys telling some porky pies lol
That's just sickening isn't it... if only it was 2.1
is Expansys not a reputable place to buy phones?

[UPDATED] Verizon Tech Support says no unlocked bootloaders!

I know this is not a verizon forum but wow!

EDIT:UPDATE: A new quote from their Twitter. "I have confirmed we allow phones w/ unlocked bootloaders to be activated on our network. Sorry for the misinformation."

			
				
I saw this and at first I was gonna laugh, but when I thought about it, the guy has no clue. There are already phones with unlocked bootloaders on verizon. So I think maybe they mean no phones will be sold unlocked, but what you do to them after that is your business.
They guy that posted that tweet probably doesn't even know what a bootloader is.
big V just butthurt that they wont have as much power over htc phones
^ all of you are probably correct.
Both the Charge & Revolution are unlockable (unencrypted).

in fairness I did its in general meaning its doesn't necessarily have to do with anything EVO
I guess every sub gets one of these threads.
Evo 3D links back to XDA http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...ve-an-unlocked-bootloader-one-way-or-another/
From @VZWSupport:
Correction>> You CAN activate your HTC device with an unlocked bootloader on our network, we apologize for the confusion.
@grfullerton You are correct. If the bootloaders are unlocked, it does not prevent them from being activated on the Verizon network.*MS

Lets trade, my international for your Verizon.

I just moved to verizon so it makes more sense for me to trade my international tab with voice for a verizon 7.7 version.

Sorry, I'm going to be that guy. Can we please make at least a small attempt at proper English here?
Besides, maybe he has a cell phone provided through his company, or has a discount program. The dude made a post about something specific, and kneejerk reactions that provide zero utility are just noise.

maybe because he wants to. I don't have any regrets buying the verizon version yet since i haven't felt the need to root the device either
Also LTE connection is a nice thing to have on the go

Roger's SG3 with Dropbox

Hi,
SO I got my SG3 today and was super exicited and thought I would get 50GB of dropbox too. When it asked me to sign in or register for dropbox, I signed in (as had my account with them). I noticed that all I have is 2.5GB not 50GB!
Am I doing something wrong?!
Thanks in advance
Bikram
This isn't the Galaxy S III's forum. This is the Galaxy 3 aka Apollo aka i5800 forum.
Post your question over here- http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1667
BTW You should wait for sometime, cause dropbox needs time to verify. Happened the same with my friend
50GB? are you sure its 50? and the pro version is like 100gb. And free version is 4.5 sort of.
Nope. You get a 50 Gb bonus when you buy a S3.
Even I got it ->

[Q] Just bought a Nexus 7

I've just bought a Nexus 7 from Google Play's web page, and after revising the summary of the order I realised that I dind't put my surname and the door of my building (my door, not the number of the building). So my question is: Will I have any problem for reciving the tablet? The other data is ok. Google has already charged it. Thank you.

Yeah, I think you're going to have some issues
I would contact Google ASAP and say youve noticed some errors in your shipping information.
They will probably ask for your payment details, and the current details, and then they will add the rest of the information for you.
