Anyone know how to transfer my sms and mms to another phone? I'm about to switch phones and don't want to lose all of my mms messages. I'm not rooted.

but you dont have to pay the early termination fee & a lower monthly bill= A Win. You are losing either way you look at it.

Huh? You have to the pay the early termination fee if you cancel before your contract is up.

Your down payment is basically $200 after rebate. You cancel before you contract is up, you owe for the rest of the phone (around 400+) AND an early termination fee of $200+

No everyone has a smart phone or use those apps.

Those apps are unreliable if you have low signal or have a hard time connecting to data.

Stock message app has to be used because you can't get pictures on GVoice and you can't use it at all if you don't have internet.

False, Google voice work over wifi and over carrier network. SMS only work with Network service thats why it has to die. You actually think GV dont work over carrier network lol. SMS is trashhh

Google planning cheaper Nexus 7, report claims

Google is planning low-ball itself with an even cheaper Nexus 7, according to an Asia-based report.
Google and Asus wowed consumers with the $199 Nexus 7 and now they're aiming at price points below $150, ultimately going as low as $99, according to Taipei-based Digitimes, citing sources at display component maker O-Film Tech.
The lower-priced Nexus 7 should be released by the second quarter of next year, said the technology site, which covers device manufacturers and component suppliers in Asia.
O-Film started shipping components for the lower-priced Nexus 7 in December, the report said. The company's touch-screen glass-glass film technology will contribute to lower production costs and make it thinner, Digitimes said.
The cost-reduction measures could eventually lead to a $99 Nexus 7 but this may not happen initially. The cheaper Nexus 7 may first be priced in the $129 to $149 range, according to the report.
Shipment estimates of the new Nexus 7 are in the range of 500,000 to 600,000 in the first quarter of shipments.
Needless to say, a Nexus 7 priced below $150 and eventually going to $99 would make Google's tablet even more competitively priced against the $329 iPad Mini -- even allowing for the high-quality build that Apple typically achieves with its tablets.
And, as always, this Digitimes report is coming from the supply chain, which can be very unpredictable. Orders for an unconfirmed new component or new product can be canceled at any time.
Also note that there are rumors already about a $99 Asus tablet that could be a forerunner to an upcoming Nexus 7.
Google and Asus are currently shipping about one million Nexus 7 devices per month, according to recent statements from Asus executives.

Wonder if in addition they would plan a Nexus 4 with more memory, assuming they fix their supply issues.
