If any one buy's a Android cell phone be aware of a $35.00 restocking fee if you want to return it. I got BURNED because i did not know that. They don't tell you about this when you buy one. Once you open the box & charge it , IT'S YOURS !!!!

Where did you buy it?
That's a retailer's policy not an Android policy.

It was a free up grade on line. I have an Apple4 but wanted some thing diff. After i got it & charged it up & had it 3 day's i did not care for it, so i went to AT&T store & xplained it to them & wanted to send it back. AT&T store told me it would be $35.00 restocking fee for them to take it back & or send it back where i got it.

Oh ok. So you did business with AT&T.
'nuff said.
They are the slimiest of the slimy. Not that the other wireless cartels are angels because they aren't.
So clearly not the fault of android, it was AT&T that was the problem. Thanks for clarifying.

Yes it does a lot more. Its not just some stylish pretty play thing. Android phones actually do stuff. The hardware is better and they are easier to use.

There is an app, Torque, it's free. Get a obdii bluetooth device for your car. Plug it in and it sends data to phone. They are cheap on ebay for less than $20.
The paid version of Torque does more but the free one does enough to diagnose or turn off check engine light.

Verizon has the same return policy. The only thing different is they made Me/there customers VERY aware of it !
