I try to check Amazon deals everyday and there's almost never anything I even consider buying, then a day or two ago I log on to check only to find out the exact pair of Sony headphones I wanted was on sale for $40 or $50 and I missed it by about 20 minutes. Damn it. They're usually $90 to $100 pretty much anywhere that sells them, what a steal. I have a really good pair of older ones and so couldn't see wasting a hunge on a pair for a small upgrade but for $40 or $50 I would have jumped on it.

Just make sure you do a thorough testing of reception for T-Mo in your area.

Some places it's completely fine, in other areas it's absolutely wretched.

I've had T-Mobile for 2 and a half years, I'm veyr aware of wifi like 4G, walk 100 paces left in the parking lot and 2G/Edge network crawling. :lol:

I'll say this, I went to Sprint today, they don't even get 4G, everything is 3G, I installed Speedtest on a couple phones and was getting 1mb down consistently, with T-Mobile that's usually my worst case and a lot of the places I go where I use it I get a blazing(well for me lol)7 to 10 down, which is nearing wifi and this is with a 2 and a half year old G2 which seemed to always have a suspect radio.

I installed Speedtest at T-Mobile by me on the Nexus and got over 8 down, then 3 down, then 8 down in 3 tests within about 7 minutes of each other.

Also messed with both Windows phones and I have to say they're tempting, especially the HTC 8x. The OS is snappy and attractive. Ultimately the Nexus seemed to have a much better camera and I'm going to have MLBTV this summer and it's supported on Droid, but as of now not Windows Phones AFAIK.

Yeah we all get so obsessed over unlimited data and I usually never go above 3 gigs a month, occasionally I do go into the mid 3's or low 4's though, but that's when I'm streaming radio maybe an average of 5 or 6 hours a day at least 4 or 5 days a week the entire month in addition to all the other constant pushes.

And this is with 5 highly active emails, Twitter, ESPN updates, updating weather and news, decent but not super high amount of radio streaming, Im'ing, web surfing and youtube watching on my mobile network.

Dude, it's laughable the lack of data I use.

I use my wifi so much I only average about 300MB 3G/4G per month lol.

It's more probably due to the fact that I'm almost always near a computer (and therefore a wifi connection as well).

My wife is the one who hits 1.5GB all the time lol.

9 days into my current billing cycle, I've only used 8MB. :lol:

Damn haha. I hadn't really streamed anything the whole month and about 2 weeks in I was still at about 400mb just off pushes and Twitter.

Yo that's ill! I always thought they broke up in the atmosphere at least into small pieces that would never cause that kind of plumage and then hit that hard.

Conspiracy time... missile from NK?

Just found out per SideshowBob in PC board, that NBA.com revamped their player stats section: http://stats.nba.com/leaguePlayerGeneral.html

They've got ALL boxscores going back to 1946! This is a NBA stat geek's new girlfriend lol...
