“FIFA 2012 available exclusively for Xperia Play. Other devices in 2012” good to know i hate those tactics (exclusive bullshit) i go with PES :)
What an ugly shot of Carly…
“Hail T-Mobile!”
No I mean that ugly elbow just ruined all my fantasies.
But think of the possibilities!
i guess my LG Thrill is the 50% that doesn’t have 2.3
Mmmmmmmm, carly…..
Carrer IQ is beneficial is used properly. Ask people what they think about (insert carrier here) and they will tel you that it drops calls. Ask them details, such as “where where you? what time of day was it? What was the signal strenth (not bars, but db)? What else was running on your phone?” and I bet you will get a blank stare. Calling the carrier and saying “my phone drops phone calls” is as useful as relative calling you and telling you the internet is broken. If you have every fixed a computer problem for family, you know how detailed those calls.
I think that it has been poorly presented to people. I haven’t seen a detailed description from the carriers on what exactly is being sent.
