Samsung to spend ENTIRE budget of London 2012 OLYMPICS... on ADS

clockwork.satam

Samsung ads are hilariously twee as it is, so spending 14bn really isn't going to shift those of us who don't have a high opinion of their products as it is. Their typical ad usually involves puppy with a balloon and a 'perfect' smiling airbrushed couple sitting on a blanket in the middle of a 'perfect' green field, which is enough to make you blow your cookies, with some wishy-washy catch phrase like 'Live you life more fulfilled' or something equally bile-inducing.

Can you guess yet that I'm not a fan?

HTC outs Jelly Bean running One X revamp

Megaphone

By crivvens!

Hey guys, this is my first post on these hallowed forums, but the amount of negative things said about the One X has prompted me to get my opinion out there.

I've had my One X for a couple of months now and although I'm a little miffed that HTC have seen fit to release a turbocharged version of it so soon, the original One X is still a mighty beast of a smartphone and is without the best phone I've ever had. It's super quick, has an AMAZING screen and does everything I could want it to do without any problems.

Being a regular visitor of the XDA forums I've rooted and modded my one within an inch of its life, so that its running a streamlined version of ICS and NEVER hangs, crashes or misbehaves. I'm quite surprised to hear that so many people have evidently stayed with the standard firmware and ROM - I don't see the point of leaving an Android device unfettled with. If you want something the will be shiny and swishy and easy to use, join the mindless masses and buy an iPhone - if you want to mod, play with and generally fart about with a great phone that has got some unbelievable capabilities, stick with the One X. Hug it, play with it and tinker with it and you'll reap the rewards.
