Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

Morning everyone. Pretty bad start of the day. Got my grade for my last Master's class, was a B. First of all a B in a Master's course is like a C in undergrad, and second, my company reimburses 100% for As, and 80% for Bs. Since this class plus book cost $3700, it means I am out $740. There is some hope that the professor lost one of my HWs (I talked to the grader, and she never saw that assignment from me), if this is true, I hopefully will be able to redo the assignment (or just get it omitted from consideration, since it wasn't my fault he lost it) and get it bumped to an A. Just really don't have the extra cash, and had been working extra hard to make sure I got all As and this didn't happen. :(

Eek hope that all gets fixed - that's pretty unfair if they lost one of your assignments. Had that happen a few times in school and 99% of the time the professor was willing to look past it and change my grade accordingly.

Yeah, I'm not worried, he's a very nice teacher. Although I would hope he would have let me know if I was missing it, before submitting my grade to the school. :p
 
Hey all, a coworker of mine is planning on switching from Android for the iPhone 5. He's got an HTC phone that runs ICS (either the Evo 3D or the Evo 4G LTE) but is unhappy with the performance and battery life. I promised him that I would write out a list of reasons why he should stay with Android, was curious to see if you all would like to help! :)

Depends on the coworker. Is iOS a better fit for him. Any reasons I could give would be why Android is better for me.

He's not what you would call a techie; he says he uses his phone mostly for email, Facebook, and web browsing. I doubt he would root any subsequent phone he'd get. I was planning on basing my reasoning mostly on the screen size difference; the deficiencies of iOS in email attachments, navigation, and voice search; lack of NFC, wireless charging capability, and notification LED. I honestly do think that Android is the best platform for him; as an attorney, he needs to be able to attach items to emails besides photos, and as a sports fan, I would think he'd want a larger screen if he chooses to watch sports events.

I was also going to make sure to tell him that HTC makes weaker phones (no offense to EarlyMon and other HTC users) and to try a Samsung model like the S3.
 
Looks like you have a pretty good list already. Maybe hit him up with some lost phone / security / remote wipe apps to protect any confidential info on his phone should it become lost or stolen. Though probably available on both platforms, you could get a "Wow, I didn't think of that" reaction that could keep him in the fold.
 
Haha, sorry BB, but good for you!!!

P.S. just confirmed my professor is missing a grade. :p Oh well hopefully he finds my HW!

Also just picked up the RAZR M for my wife. Way too small for me, but for someone wary of big phones, its pretty nice, and can't beat it for $99.

Glad to hear the prof admits to the HW being missing. Good luck on it being fixed!!

Razor, tell him to get a Lumia 920.
Looks like a beast of a phone and hopefully it launches at a great price point like the last one did.

Until this phone OS is abandoned and non upgradeable like WP7.:rolleyes:

I can't imagine that helped establish customer loyalty.
