Customer service isn't comparable because of the small family of products and physical presence of stores, to me they're only good for the technically illterates that go "HALP my phone is stuck on the homescreen!"

Perhaps someone can chime in about Windows phone and their customer service experience at microsoft stores...probably not that far off from applecare

Not really I go to the apple store other things and have always gotten help (IE getting free nano sim when I lost my during my trip back to Asia). The guy at apple just handed me one for free which would cause me $10 if I went to my carrier to purchase it. I brought my ipaid air in because I notice the screen doing something weird. Apple exchange it for a new one on the spot on question ask and I didn't even have apple care on my ipad.

Sure you can get a 1+1 for a fraction of the cost but when there is an issue with it all you can really do is RMA to a company oversea who may or may not fix it for you. Also getting help is mostly done through online so you aren't getting the best customer service.

I had an oppo find 7a and yes the phone is cheap with good specs but don't expect any after support. If I have any issue it is mostly the tech community , oppo fourms or google search to help me fix my issue. Contacting oppo support I never got an answer back.

Do all subsidized phones have to use the max plans? Will there be eligibility for smart plan?

RacePace 09-26-2014 01:18 PM

Anyone have problems with Swiftkey? It doesn't consistently pop up, sometimes gets replaced by the default keyboard. If I delete the default keyboard, sometimes no keyboard shows up

Also, is there a way to split bluetooth audio volume and ringtone, I play music from my phone to my car and messages constantly interrupt my music. Even my Nexus 4 could do this

yes if you get the lower tier plans such as iphone 5c nexus 5 etc

^ Have you tried the obvious one of using the mute switch on the side of the phone? If you want more granular control try Do Not Disturb and set up who's important enough to get through.

Not quite on topic, but Pokemon TCG Online for iPad just released, and in Canada first. Go figure. My kids are going to go crazy when they see it.

My nephew is geeking out, apparently the booster packs the ones with the physical cards have online vouchers that transfer over to the online game.

I hate how everyone saying the battery life is great. Of course it is when it's brand new.

Like previous iphones...the battery will quickly degrade and crap out.
Lets give it some time before we start celebrating.

Gif Keyboard by Riffsy, Inc. is out
