Samsung phones Can anybody who knows about smartphones, particularly Samsung, recommend a phone to purchase. It's going to be a gift for someone who doesn't play games on device, just for uses like calling, messaging, video chat, wifi, etc. Price range is 100+ no more than $150. Please include the specific name, and the pros and cons. Thanks edit: you can recommend other brands if the price is better or the features, overall function/durability/features of the phone.
Unlocked unlocking phones that had contract I was wondering, I am looking to purchase a phone from someone but they do not know if it's unlocked or not. They told me it was purchased with contract in Verizon back in 2011, would that contract be up by now and if so would it be unlocked on its own or you have to pay(how much) and how to unlock it? Thanks
Your Headphones thread What kind of headphones do you have/use? -Is it better to have cheap($10+) multiple headphones or a quality build headphone(beats) for $40-50+? -Would it be a better idea to buy extra pairs of cheap headphones in case they break; or if you break them easily from stuffing in pocket, gym, workout. Or do those pricey quality headphones "last longer" I think they're that price because of sound quality, not durability. -Is there a type of headphone where the end cord that connects to your device, that makes it last longer? Some reason my headphones from before, one ear stops working from moving around too much and adjusted the cord at the end. -Would a curved end cord, or straight be better/worse? -What type of s
Defective Pixel on New Laptop Display I have had this new Asus x551Mav laptop for about 5 days so far. First day it was perfect, nothing wrong with screen, functioned 100% like a brand new laptop should. I have downloaded anti virus and spyware on the first day. Superanti sypware and Avast. I did not click any bad links or contracted virus I am sure of that. There is no lag at all to the system, EXCEPT when loading videos in 360,480 quality and loading a sports blog site with lots of comments. But here's the problem, it all started one day when I went to nba website and clicked on an article. As I was reading the article I scrolled down to the comments. Now note that nothing was loading, this is in the firefox explorer by the way. All of a
Brand New Laptop question? I recently purchased this new laptop, an Asus x551MAV. It's processor is Intel Celeron, 2.16 ghz, 4GB Memory, 500GB HD. When I first opened it, it was brand new fresh and worked perfectly. No issues whatsoever. Used it a few times for basic things, music, videos, mail, web. Did not get any virus or malware. Then today I noticed while reading some news on MSN, I noticed there was something black, spots of pixels flashed; which I noticed with the side of my eye. It wasnt directly at me. At first I thought it was my eyes being blurry, my vision but it wasn't it was the laptop screen. I checked another site to see if it maybe was just that site, but even on Youtube searching some videos..randomly that black spot pixel

Help with purchasing New Laptop So I'm not a very techy guy, and quite frugal when it comes to buying things. My recent laptop used was a 300+$ Acer laptop. It was thin and lean, all black. Screen was wide and keyboard was nicely spaced out. I'm typing on a Sony VIAO and the keyboard is very small and jammed... Anyways, I was wondering what laptop I should buy online (or instore) if anybody knows good places. What brand, the functions, the lifespan, the feel/usage, compatablity, versality, DVD usage, components, etc. for a reasonably affordable price. I would say around $150-300+around there... I'm not looking to buy some small mini laptop notebook from Intel... I want one similar to the ACER I had, but a different kind. Any suggestions, th
Sony Vaio problem, C Drive 0 bytes after restored So when the sony VAIO laptop had hard drive issues, I asked classmate to help fix issue. Restored and pressed the red-Assist button to restore the hard drive. It worked, erased all data and back to factory settings. But there were still issues, cannot download anything... anti-virus's, firefox browsers, etc. I checked the computer>C:Drive and properties on the disk. It said 0 space available and 0 used with 0 bytes. When I tried to double click the C:Drive Local disc, a window would pop up saying "Location not available- C: is not accessable access is denied" Any help, thanks.

Gamestop question Have a question for people who are familiar with Gamestop if they worked or know someone who works for them. About the returning policies, what If lets say someone bought a pre-owned game, and I know you can get a full refund in 7 days. They ask for your info when you refund, but after refunding that item would they allow the same purchase of the same game and let you refund again?
Network theft, through Psn. Help So my internet was fine until yesterday I played this guy on Nba 2k14 on PS3, no lag or any problems with network connection. Then when the game was almost over, I suddenly disconnect, the game saying the server is down and unavailable at the moment. Then I check my modem, to see that the DSL light is flashing and turning red. The 'Activity' light is constantly flashing green, so is the Ethernet. Later I sign back in to PSN, I checked my messages...and it was that guy I played who messaged me saying " y u mad -my wifi routers name-" How is it possible that this guy somehow stole my information through PSN, and mess up my internet networks DSL connection? It works for a little while, very slow and c
Ps4 people FOr those of you who got a PS4 already, got a few questions. Did you sell your PS3 and all its games before/after the upgrade? If so, how much did you sell the PS3 for and the games each(name specific games if you can)? Was it worth the upgrade instead of sticking with the PS3? Was it worth the 400-500 bucks?
Ebay Sellers question, Fees For those of you who sell stuff on ebay or have sold stuff before on ebay, the seller fees add up on your account balance. You pay them off with paypal or direct payment... I was wondering, what happens if you don't pay them off. Does anyone know anybody who has sold stuff on ebay and did NOT pay off the seller fees? I hear your paypal account gets disabled but thats it.
