Sold the iPhone last night. Picked up a t-mobile Galaxy Note 2, spent $25 for the unlock codes and walla! LOVE IT!

Bro. Blake how do you unlock an iphone 5 and why would you want to unlock an iphone? What does it do? Is it safe?

I didn't unlock an iphone, but an Android device. Basically, it allows you to use any GSM Sim Card vs. being tied to a particular carrier. I've since sold the Note 2 and purchased a Nexus 4. The Nexus 4 is great, but the Galaxy S3 and Note 2 are as well. Still can't go wrong with the iPhone 5 either.

I have AT&T as well as a $30/month T-Mobile pre-paid plan.

Lots of different rumors out there about the release date of an iPhone 6 or 5S, as well as the Galaxy S4. Blake since you change phones about once a month I figured you may have the inside scoop =)

I use Verizon as my carrier, no real choice here.

After years of suckling at the bosom of apple, I switched to android and have not looked back. If you are a tinkerer, and willing to read a little at the beginning, the cost of ownership, hardware innovation, software updates, and open source community is far better on the Android side. Try it...

I've heard the S4 will be announced in New York on March 14th. I enjoy both platforms as my daily driver is the Nexus 4 while my tablet is an iPad Mini...lol

I have got my hands on the Note 2 a couple of times, it just seems like it would be too big for me to use as a daily driver. I'd spend all my time sewing up holes in my slacks pockets =)

I have a note two. The more you handle it the smaller it gets. Also, after living with one for only a day: YOU WILL NEVER GO SMALLER. Seriously, handle one and you will know why this phone makes apple cringe. Apple is no longer the most advanced hardware.

I have a friend with the note 2 and the battery life is awesome. He uses his quite a bit and gets almost 2 days on a single charge

I have a note 2 and it has made me wonder why I stuck with apple for so long. If you are a little device savy go with the Samsung, if not go with apple. The biggest flaw of the note 2 is the case selection. Otterbox makes a defender series, but it get dust under it if in pockets. The s3 and iphone 4/4s and 5 all have available to the the coveted armor series case by otterbox that are dust proof and waterproof. :rolleyes:

I'm still using my old iPhone 4 which meets all my needs just fine. I am due for an upgrade but since both the iPhone 5 and SIII have been out for a year I just figured I would wait until the next round of new devices launches. I used to mod and root all my androids but have since gotten away from that. I like high end techy stuff. You should see my gaming computer. Constantly upgrading and modding that thing, but with a phone I'm kind of to the point I want to be able to talk/text/web/email/MMS, etc. The thing I would absolutely hate is being told "ohhh I'm sorry we don't offer that on a phone like yours, you must have [insert name here]."
