pulling your brand spanking new Xoom out in the wild. Such as on the bus or train or in the middle of the street. I dunno i always get that kind of apprehensive feeling using my new toys in public especially when they are brand new to everyone. People look at you like a pretentious pr!ck and engage in commentary amongst themselves. I know i shouldn't even be thinking otherwise. But im tired of feeling like i have to spare other people my toy joy simply because they cant afford some of the things i can. I work damn hard for my money and should be able to enjoy it without hearing curt comments from some jerk who's busy minding my business.
anyone else feel this way?
Of the things that would embarrass me to pull out in public, a tablet isn't one of them.
I hate the question "Is that an iPad?" or "Oh, it's just like an iPad."
No it's not it's better!

That was funny!
To the OP, don't feel embarrassed. Those people are probably just confused and talking amongst themselves as to why you have an ipad2
Lol i whip my Xoom out everywhere.i love it!
OP I was thinking about this today, and have thought about it before. I kinda feel like a **** when I pull out my brand new phone or laptop thats far more expensive than the people around me. I get the feeling people are just thinking I'm trying to show off lol.
I'm a college student and I'm pretty sure people would just think I'm trying to flaunt money if I pulled out a brand new Xoom and just started browsing between classes, while the people around me text on their feature phones lol. I'm not worried per se, just kinda been thinking about it.

I got this when I first bought my Evo 4G on launch day. "Oh, is that an iPhone?". I just wanna be like "If you're so retarded that you don't know the difference between this and the iPhone, you're not smart enough to use this device." I feel like I'd do something similar for the Xoom lol.
For some reason I'm more annoyed when people call my Nexus One a "Droid" then if they ask if its an iPhone.
I know what you're saying. I'm the same way, just aware of the ways people perceive things. Definitely doesn't stop me from whipping this bad boy out. And then taking out my Xoom.

I was in the airport earlier today and felt this to a T! I felt like such a douche... I know it's dumb to feel that way, but yeah, I definitely felt awkward like some kid pulling up in his Dad's new Porsche.
yeah, i had same exact feelings after purchasing iPad1 on launch day.
A LOT of looks, and chattering amongst themselves about it.
- some negative, some positive
I can't even count how many times I've been asked "is that an ipad"?" "What's a xoom?" "Is that like an ipad?" I've given up explaining it lol.

Lol I'm just glad I'm not the only one. So far I'm running about a 50% douche ratio. Half the times I've had my Xoom with me on the train I chose to pull it out and play with it unabashedly. Don't ask me why but it just bothers me when people assume I'm being a **** and showing off when I'm not. I bought the damn thing specifically for this purpose. Mobile entertainment.
Buts its kinda diff in a NYC subway, kind of polarized. If you're not from or never been. A NYC subway car is a melting pot of technology and status. The poorest homeless man to the Mayor of NY(richest man in NY) take the train.
The only major variable is mobile tech because it sometimes surprising to see who owns what kind of gadget. Such as in my instance I'm self employed(no dress code) so while the business exec on one side of me has his iPhone 4 and the housewife on my other has a flipphone. Here comes little old me looking like some unshaved college student who's mom hasn't gotten around to doing his laundry pulls out the most advanced piece of tech to hit the market(this week lol) its a lot of pressure because its a literal "whose is bigger" contest where the only outcome is scepticism because there's no way this lowly member of the unwashed masses is packing like that. Lol
i feel a little akward. It is 10 inches! Seriously though my town is pretty behind the times so I have yet to see any tablets anywhere public outside of starbucks even ipads! . Getting a case helps makes it feel more like just a little notebook when I am carrying it.
It will pass and someday we will find it hard to imagine everyone didn't have one.
What's weird to me is the assumption that other people can't afford it...lol. However, I do know what you mean about taking out expensive gadgets. I was flying to Vegas the day after the ipad launched and had to answer a million and one questions on the flight there and back. I like to be left alone while I play.

Now that I have sold my Nexus One. i was very sad immediantly just because the phone was sexy as hell and amazing speed. The college i got accepted to sends all incoming freshmen a iphone 3gs and are required to use it to keep in contact with professors.
Now that thats said i want to continue with whats the truth about the nexus.
1) i had a problem with the headphones along with alot of other people when listening to music threw your headphones that came with the nexus you would get a shock... for me it mostly happend when i was plugged into a computer
2) DUST...omg the dust i got under the corner of the screen was annoying the crap out of me. i couldnt get it sent back because i wanted to keep the engraving on the phone. and i didnt want to wait 2 weeks for them to send me my phone back.
3) the phones speed is AMAZING but i feel as if google hasnt completly utilized the speed and GPU yet. *if they can pull this off, things would be so much better than the iphone*
want to add other things about this phone *without being biased* ? go ahead lets see if we can get some good information in here for new android users
Yeah...
Non-biased my ass. The only thing the iPhone does better than the N1 is the app store. To say they need to work on their GPU is just a pathetic representation of a review...
I'm not even going to try wasting my time to make this a worthwhile thread. OP, you're just... Ugh..
Too LAZY to send it back and wait a couple weeks for a problem... That's YOUR fault. There's policies in place to remedy issues... *****ing isn't the appropriate remedy.
P.S. Shocking from earbuds happens with more than just the stock headphones. Go google it.
they need to fix the dust under the screen issue.
!maybe a way to upscale low res images from the interwebs so they don't look like ass on the high res display!
but honestly, i have been more then happy with my Nexus after selling my 3GS.

THe headphones that come with the N1 doesn't work well on other standard 3.5mm jacks because the pins are specifically designed for the N1. Apparently if you insert the headphones into your computer half way it should work like normal headphones.

To the OP: cool story, bro.
There was exactly no reason for the OP as he just stated a few well-known issues that people can experience with this phone. Every device has a its own set of issues and the OP will now be fortunate enough to experience the many IPhone problems.
I think we'd all be better off if this entired thread was deleted.

People are growing tired of "it's okay, it's only the internet" as a justification for poor grammar and ill-written thoughts.

Let me help you with that since you'll need to know this in college:
i spelt threw wrong....woah! you're big and bad.
Your is a possessive term, where as you're is the conjugation of "you are". So in the future, make sure you check if your usage is right by replacing the term with "you are" and seeing if it makes sense to you.
Anyway dude...bro... you need to grow up and stop acting like an e-Gangsta. To be fair, nothing you posted is anything new. We've all heard it all before and so the thread is a flaming waste of space. That being said, good luck in college.
The phone has a powerful processor and an impressive amount of RAM. I dont think it uses either one nearly to its potential (at least i hope not), which is kind of cool because, although the phone is smooth and fast, the performance ought to be able to be vastly improved with software updates. I like the phone a lot but i also think its fair and justified to expect a lot more from it down the road.
If anyone that knows about hardware can confidently tell me not to expect much more from the device please post that information so that i may sell this phone. thanks
'Through' is the correct spelling. 'Threw' is the past tense of 'throw
"Yesterday, I threw a ball through a hoop."
I'm glad Jesus can afford iphone 3gs's for all students!
Jesus is a baller, lol, im still confused about this dust issue, does anyone have a picture of what this is all about? I got mine the day it launched and I have no idea what people are talking about I havent had any problems with dust and really cant see how it could get under the screen, I keep mine in my pocket every day so Im sure it woulda happened by now if it could. Id also have to agree that the only thing the iphone has is the app store, once androids gets up there it will be a lot better because there's a lot more potential. Id already have to say that handcent, dolphin, and google voice are good examples of that because apple only lets you use their stuff and blocks something if they already have an option is pretty wacksauce in my opinion, why not let the people choose which they like the best, makes no sense to me. Oh well. /rant

You are probably correct. The exchanges between fanboy camps can get pretty heated.

Joshua is trying to say that they aren't worried which phone wins in the poll since that's our opinion not theirs. Basically I agree with them everyone is getting a bit paranoid. They gave the Evo a great review, and face it the iPhone is a good smartphone. Their reason for taking down the review was good of course if they had put up their explanation right away then people would had less conspiracies to make up.

Well like I said if they had put up their reason right away and just transferred the poll then it would have been fine, but the article itself was a comparison, which is silly to try to do an in depth comparison of a device you saw in a controlled environment for an hour to a device you were allowed to use for weeks.
You guys have got to be kidding me...a "cover up the EVO love" conspiracy? Come on! The EVO wasn't even winning the poll before they took it down. They even posted an awesome review of the EVO.
It's embarrassing reading some of the Android fan's comments about this around the internet.

I must be wrong, but every time I see someone in this forum, I assume he is a guy. I must be wrong. Are there any girls here?
(sorry for the trivial question, but I just think it can't be true).
everyone knows there are no girls on the internet, sheesh.

Not as many girls on this one as some of the other android forums but yes there are a few of us .... I'm mainly on SprintUsers.com but most links refer to here so decided to see what I can do over here.
Girl? What is this, Girl-thing, that you speak of? I'm intrigued...

LoL. I have had to explain at least 3 times to my girlfriend why she doesn't want to get the purple LG phone with flowers on it and the $70 unlimited data plan.

my girl couldnt even use the evo touchscreen. she just kept hitting it with her nails or something awkward *facepalm*

i once saw a girl on a linux forum and she schooled everyone.. it was one of the hottest things ive ever seen.. but at xda, i dont think so.. plus its probably better that i dont find out cause then i would only come to xda to answer her questions as soon as i found out cause even if she is butt ugly i can find the inner beauty in a tech gurl.. gawd, tech gurls are such a turn on

my grandma jus got an EVO she rooted it all her self......maybe i should bring her to this thread and to u guys dont u guys think so...........
j/k
I don't believe that hacking phones is a "girly" thing to do. or is it? I do wonder about some of you guys though.....
Just like you wouldn't really expect alot of girls to be drag racing. There are a few. And these girls are one of a kind.
I don't mean to stereo-type any women here....but it has been my seeing that most women prefer more of a girly like life sytle.... very rarely have I ever met a women who care about how fast a phone is.. how many gigahertz it has, how much RAM or the difference in kernels or software let alone all the technical b.s. we throw in between. But it is nice to see them around. For example... I serve the country in uniform, and while yes they are here in uniform. They don't much care for technical details of there job. They just show up and do what is asked of them. Nothing more. And again while most are wrapped up with clubs and fashion and what have you there is a small handful of them that do surprise us.... glad to see at least there are surprises here.

The next phase of your andriod addition is to completely omit any mention of Apple or iOS as if they didn't even exist.
Yes you have a problem. It does not matter what phone/OS you use. None of them are better then any other one. They all have good points and bad points. If you find yourself hating one, the problem is that you are inflexible and closed minded.

Oh goodness... I can only imagine the riot that statement's gonna cause.
I'm open minded to why simple, trendy, non-techie people like iOS. And I feel no hate towards them for it. But for me iOS can't hold a candle to Android. It's all about freedom. Freedom to customize and make the phone your own. Every iphone looks and functions the same, within the safe walls of that garden, unfortunately.

That's odd... people normally don't even notice how big the phone is when I'm talking on it... (possibly cos it's mostly hidden by my hands ).
People do, however, notice its size if I'm using it for other stuff like messaging or browsing...
OT: I'm really happy Samsung has been pushing this phone into the mainstream so much. It's an awesome device. And it'll be even greater with all the development support that comes from being a mainstream success.

Not a big fan of the commercial to be honest.
They sure didn't say much for a 90 second spot.
But I guess the whole point is to get people talking about the note, and then the Note will take it from there.

But I guess the whole point is to get people talking about the note, and then the Note will take it from there.

Yah I was really looking forward to it too, but was a bit disappointed. Not even a mention of the 5.3in screen, just the stylus. The ad missed the mark IMO.

Dont let a Samsung employee hear you calling it a stylus
I hope they do something outrageous about it like it having a dual personality, a phone and a tablet, and it falls in love with an iPhone and follow it across the country. Oh wait, they already did that.
EDIT: ARRGH, my post is too late.
GIANTS won! Yeaaaaaa
Thought it was great! Really makes people think about a bigger better option, the Note. No hard sell just fun and entertainment, better than the half time show. The next three ads will do the rest. Haven't met anyone yet that didn't want my Note.
I won't say the Giants won as much as they just got lucky.
Waste of 9 million bucks. Terrible Imo
From the giant: Galaxy Note
why what do employees refer to it as?
Wish the ad showed some of the features of note, rather than people screaming around
Was really hoping for a much better spot outta Samsung on this one. Thought their previous commercials were great. Although i will say, i had 3 friends text me saying they saw a commercial for my phone.

^^^ This. If I didn't know what the ad was for (and I hadn't been following the Note for months now) I would think it was just another Android handset with that pointy stylus thing that Steve Jobs said was bad. Not a single thing special about it. Didn't feel like 90 seconds; seemed like it was over and I was still waiting for some tangible "here's why this thing is awesome" moment(s). Oh well. As the Note has done elsewhere in the world, I'm sure it'll sell itself on the merits as people start using them.
The add was lame. I was sold on the specs alone before the thing was ever announced (just rumored) ... Of course we have to remember, most people aren't nerds like us...
The downside to it's success is that, unlike the Dell Streak I'm writing this on, I wont be the only person I know who has one! When I whip out the Streak I always realize that no one has ever seen a phone like this. That is about to end...
The upside is of course that the development from this community, and the updates from Samsung should be great.
