ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 QUOTE (Jake @ Oct 30, 2013 -> 06:23 PM) Speaking of HTC, a man was shot in the chest while his HTC Evo in his breastfeeding pocket. It stopped the bullet; the man didn't realize for a second that he'd been hit. HTC heard about it and sent him a One and some other goodies. No link as I am on mobile. EDIT: and by breastfeeding pocket, I mean breast. Autocorrected... Autocorrect wins, breastfeeding pocket is now forever what I shall call them.

Big Hurtin Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 QUOTE (Y2HH @ Oct 30, 2013 -> 07:28 PM) No, he wasn't. There was a time these cases were real, and actually went to court. And there was no upside to going to court. If you went, and won, you'd end up owing about 3250 in lawyer/court costs (more than what they asked to settle), and in the off chance you lost, you'd be losing even more. It wasn't until a few years later the courts started striking these suits down and they became easily defendable. IIRC, this was when they were living on 36th Lowe -- which would make it around 1998. I believe O.J. Simpson got busted for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Oct 30, 2013 -> 02:28 PM) I hope you all realize the entire last 4 pages or so happened because a few people decided to s*** on me for no reason for saying I thought the IR blaster in my phone was cool. Never said my phone invented the technology, never said it is the only phone to do it, and never said a damn thing about iPhones not being able to do it (which I had no idea if they could or couldn't, because I couldn't care less either way). Just said I thought it was cool. Basically what I've learned here is I need to be super jaded about technology and not be impressed by anything, because god forbid someone else has used this technology before me, I will be criticized for being out of date and easily impressed and thought of as a kid. Duly noted. I think people shat on you for disrupting a college class that a lot of people pay a lot of money for - and thinking that people thought your old technology was mind-blowing.

I first went with white, then I realized the earpiece was white on the white version, which doesn't really match up with the black front.

Kind of f***ed up if you ask me. I dont want a lime green phone. They don't have refurb-repair models left? Usually, they have a ton of those. Aside from it being colorful, the 5c is actually a better phone. Has a better front camera, and larger battery. Did you use AppleCare+ to do this?

I'd actually consider breaking my 5 on purpose if I knew I could get a 5c...I got my wife one, and aside from it being colorful, I really like how it feels. I'm waiting for the 6 to upgrade my 5, though. Edited October 31, 2013 by Y2HH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that's insurance from breakage, Verizon isn't going to re-subsidize a new 5S under that plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SleepyWhiteSox Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I got the black 16GB. As a poor grad student with a crappy job and unpaid internship, had to limit myself at under $400. Also ordered a Diztronic case...waiting for Clarivue to make a screen protector for it. Got the Spigen screen protectors to hold me over in the meantime, along with a white Ringke case in case I ever wish I woulda gotten the white one. I just couldn't wait to see when Amazon got it. I need it now since my Galaxy Nexus is dying and didn't wanna risk waiting a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprisingly, my GN never scratched, but my Nexus 4 screen had a deep scratch on it from what seemed to be nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
