Just saw the best Xoom Advertisement ever

In watching the amazing celebration of the people cheering the death of Osama Bin Laden, there were people holding up their Xooms in the air to record the crown around them. Added even more awesomeness to an already perfect moment.
Just a great day

I noticed that myself, I didn't see anyone holding an ipad up. Lol

Not the best picture, but what I got.

yep, saw that too. The CNN camera dude kept on zooming in on his Xoom. I guess the camera guy knew what he was looking at. lol.

This could see the Xoom fly off the shelves!

Blah
"how are you e njoying the iPad?"
Is what I was asked by someone who sat next to me. I won't go into my reply, but, as for the comment about this helping sell a bunch of Xooms, I doubt it, because nobody can tell it's not an iPad unless they already know what the xoom is.

Aww, I wanted to hear your reply...

Well, it started "This is not an iPad, it's a Motorola Xoom, this is far better than an iPad".
And what ensued was over an hour of discussion around the Xoom and Android OS.

best quote yet " wow you have a black Ipad!?"

Even though plenty see the device's back first because I am often holding it upright by it's left landscape edge, I still have to point out the lack of fruity logos and the presence of the Motorola / Google ones. One individual didn't even recognize what the M logo stood for until I showed him the front where it was spelled out for him. I was then reminded of "living under a rock" geico ad but said nothing.

GS2 Back Cover: its very STRONG. Watch the video

Watching this video has put my mind at ease
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErXqnQKs-tA&feature=player_detailpage

I guess you need to check you link format

link edited, how do I post it directly here.

Wow!
Wow! That is amazing...
Now I can relax when i open the back cover and see it creaking and bending!

Thanks for the video, I changed phone providers (with many problems ) so feel much better since I change SIMS twice a day until my provider port over my old number.

Well, I'll show no mercy while removing the back cover from now on. That would not refrain me to buy a gel case though.
Edit: thanks for the vid

That's unbelievable

... and some people call this cheap plastic . Sure, everybody will want the back covered with some magical glass

This looks unreal!!

Just WOW! Really nice

What logo(carrier) is that @ the top? My back case only has the Samsung logo on it.

is old video and all battery cover are flexible lol

Didn't surprise me at all. It's flimsy because it's thin, but that doesn't mean it's weak or will break easily. I've always loved the thin back-cover

I've never really quite thought the accusation of bad build quality was ever warranted on the Galaxy S phones. Who the hell wants to carry a brick anyway!
I personally think the build quality on the S2 is noticeably better than its predecessor too. I can't quite understand some comments I've seen from some folks ruling out the SGS2 as they'll say stuff like "it wouldn't last 24 months etc". Load of balls if you ask me...

... all are flexible like that !
please show me
ive owned over 10 phones and if i ever did that it would break

I also feel the build quality is excellent.I never have any problem turning heads whenever I take the phone out of my pocket in public. Its a sure shot attention grabber if thats the kind to thing you need to get a ego boost.
Today I went back to using my old mobile Nokia N86 (while S2 was charging), and I was surprised by how ancient that phone feels now, just after using S2 for 7 days.
The best phone I have had till date, now that I have seen this video, I know its durable too...........

Not sure if the K or L model have the same back cover, or if it's a carrier-specific thing though.
EDIT: Looks like the SHW-M250L (for LG U+) has a different logo. A different camera layout too.

Woot plastic ftw! Though for the price we paid it shoulda been titanium, just sayin

WOW really a 5.3 inch screen with Super AMOLED resolution of 1280x800!!! Wonder if it will come to Sprint (hope so)

I liked the idea of the streak but my wife made fun of it saying it looked like you had a book on your ear.
I would still like a 5" phone...but with LTE and HSPA this is prolly a Verizon device, right guys?

Sent from my rooted, suited, & booted Epic 4G #knowdat!

Imagine though. You just use it with a bluetooth headset. Its big enough to really browse the web and do more data oriented things.
Pair it with a fold up keyboard and think of all you could do. It can be both the tablet and the phone. Get the best of everything to fit in your pocket.
I wouldn't want a 10" tablet anyway because its to big to really use with one hand.

Hope you carry around solar panels to power that thing..

Why would anyone prefer a 4" over 5" phone? That just views my mind... Think outside the box. A 5" phone wouldn't have to be any bigger than the epic. There a ton of wasted space on the epic fire the screen size.

The new Samsung Galaxy S II will have the 4.52 so we are getting closer to the 5" mark. Just hate that we don't get updates really Samsung where is Gingerbread??

Leaked photos of V2 of the Note?

This photo was leaked online earlier today......
Not sure if it's real obviously.....

I believe that there were complaints about pocketability of the v2 but after seeing this photo I can't say I agree with their concern.

wow... is that the new Super AMOLED HD+++ ?

Looks like they they made the Note a bit smaller. Cost saving measures, no doubt.

pre-order right away!

That's actually a prototype of the "bloatware" model coming to AT&T...

Is the new Super Ultra Amoled 4K HD Plus. A friend of friend that has a friends who's friends with another friend who's cousin has a friend that is friends with someone which his friends father works at Samsung by taking out the trash.
You won't believe what you can find these days in Samsung's trash.
Also it has an octo-core SOC clocked at 4Ghz with the graphics performance of 3 580s in SLI and a new advance unannounced nuclear based battery that never runs out. Well that's what came to my end from all the above.

Is it confirmed to get ICS?

Typical.. As soon as I buy one a better one comes out, though I think Nokia may sue based on the radical new design...

Oh and I hear its camera is only 20MP.... :sigh:

That looks exactly like the i*hone 5, Apple released a statement that they're gonna sue.

WOW! :laugh: a dell streak 5! aka my first android device... those were the days. I miss em.
Well, not really. 1.6 was pitiful on the streak, and i couldn't even play the original angry birds without some serious lag. That is, until the 2.1 update finally came out eons later...
Can't wait to get my Nexus 6.

LOL that Dell Streak brings back memories. I had one when everyone thought huge phones were an oddity. I lost mine for a couple of days and found it in my backyard in the mud after a couple inches of snow melted. The only thing it had on it was a silicone jacket. I pulled the battery and dried it out in uncooked rice for a couple of days then booted it up and it ran fine up to the day I sold it about a year later. Water damage indicators weren't even tripped. Crazy, you can't make this stuff up. Absolutely true.

man, the Streak was such a mess, it taught me so much about android, and patience..... this was my third one, and as you can see, the glass cracked on this one too...... it was fun, and the xda forums were crazy........ what I thought was crazy, was seriously when I put the streak over the Nexus 6 I couldn't take a pic that showed a difference, they are soooo close, but the streak was just a 5 " screen...... but everyone thought it was crazy

wow. Dell Streak 5. my first android phone too!

yep, I moved from an Iphone 3 to the Dell Streak, and Dev was a mess, but it was fun, and Dell was really good about "warranty" cause this was my 4th one, 2 I bricked, and the other the glass broke, I would just call dell and they would send another and not ever ask me to send the old one back......

Funny, I thought that Dell was so huge back then!

reminds me of this article from way back then...
http://www.cnn.com/2010/TECH/mobile/07/29/5.inch.dell.streak/
So big, in fact, that some won't fit in jeans pockets anymore.
The Dell Streak, which is set to be released in the U.S. later this summer, is the biggest of the big-daddy phones so far, with a 5-inch screen. The screen of the iPhone 4, by comparison, measures only 3.5 inches diagonally.
When held up to a person's ear, the Dell phone looks like a book.
The Streak's mondo screen has become the focus of much debate on the internet, with tech bloggers arguing about what kinds of pants you'd have to wear to carry it around in your pocket; how big your hands have to be to hold it; whether or not people will stare at you when you're using it; and, perhaps most significantly, what exactly constitutes a phone these days.
