Lefty rarely posts here anymore. He was their biggest fan boy. :lol
Bend over, I'll fucking show you a dick measuring contest.
my iphone 6 still runs fine
Smartphone wars :lol Shit is all the same at this point.
Fuck Google, Apple, and Samsung. It's LG Mafia round here
Apple has won that contest a long time ago tbh
I wish my phone had that bootloop feature bhQuote:

Both Google and LG arent doing to well..Its pretty much game over at this point.
Apple has won the north American market despite having the weakest hardware. Just brand recognition and Samsung is a distance second.
Huwawei is strong internationally and is competing against Samsung
No more bootloop tbh, it was only on an early batch of G4's.. my G8 is perfect and is a really great phone overallQuote:

Good shit, thinking might get whatever LG model is comparable to the Galaxy 10.Quote:

:lol
if you cant afford to pay cash for the phone you probably shouldnt be buying it
To be fair, at least to canadian consumers. These asshole mobility providers set the no contract sim card prices about 15 dollars less.Quote:

people who finance phones are fucking retarded. every couple years i buy an unlocked phone on amazon and stick my SD card in it. i guarantee the retarded 16 year old kids and their 40 year old parents dont even utilize 95% of the shit the phones can actually do nowadays. if all youre going to do is be a faggot on snapchat and show your tits on reddit, the fuck do you need some high tech phone for?
I tried having this conversation with some people at work and they just didn't give a shit. "It's included in the mobile phone plan." No... your bill would be 35-40 dollars less if you stopped financing phones through Verizon or whatever.Quote:

yeah, the kid walks into the store, gets the phone "free" but pays the sales tax... parents pick up the bill for next 2 years :lmaoQuote:

Why not until 2023?Quote:

bonkers man. i might try out the new providers.
Fucking bell, rogers, telus monopolizing the industry
Im currently on a contract but after that, no more contracts, I’ll but phone outright, the plans on 2 year agreements are steep.Quote:

People make fun of cricket but you can’t beat 4 lines, unlimited data for $100, using ATT towers. And $100 is straight up $100, taxes included and no hidden fees.
I had it for 4+ years and have only had 1 time where the service was out for about 6 hrs a couple years back. Other than that, the service has been really solid.
I made fun of my sister for having it, but she insisted I give it a try. When my contract was up, I did and never looked back. I use my iphone 7.
Yes but still bot as much as iPhonesQuote:

The cheapest phone plan with Bell and Roger is 90 dollars ( Low tier phones).
Bell and Rogers now charge 55 dollars minimum for service with 5gb.
Just two years ago that 90 plan was 40 and the now 115 plan was 60.
What the hell is crtc doing?
Canada must be one of the 5 most expensive countries in the world to have phone service if not the most expensive
ask trudeau to suck bell & rogers dick in blackface and maybe them prices will come back down.Quote:

:lol Caring about what smartphone you have. It'd be like caring about what cordless landline phone you had in the 90s. But I guess certain dumbasses (i.e. teenagers) need to discard their current phone that works perfectly fine to get the latest thing that has 3 cameras.
It's not even just the teenagers, look at all modern smartphone reviews. They literally spend 75% of the time looking a sample photo comparison, just for most people to compress and post them on social media or MMS/iMessage/Whatsapp :lol.Quote:

The whole "why do you need a new phone?" line of reasoning is pretty stupid to have in this country. Why do we need any of the things we overspend on? Debt and fiscal irresponsibility is as American as living vicariously through social media.
There's no point tbh
You have legions of dumb fuckers spending over one thousand dollars on a phone to do basic shit you could do on a phone that costs 350.
I still use galaxy s8, no issues. I give apple people an equally retarded look when they look confused why I don't have an apple.
I haven't bought a phone in 20 years. I upgrade every other year though. Still refuse to use anything from Apple. Using S9 atm. As long as I can use Skype meeting and Webex, I am good. Phone, camera, email/calendar, text.. that's about all I use on the phone.
