Hope this helps somebody.

Helped me perfectly. Thanks! Got the Optimus Fuel, and Spongebob Squarepants earbuds as a bonus! Installed all of the important apps from the death of my Nexus 7.

I remember an OLD version of Superman where he squeezed a lump of coal til it turned into a diamond. I'm aging myself.

That happened on Smallville too. Of course it didn't turn out so well for the intended of that Diamond.

In case anyone missed the Lumia $20 sale, it's available for $30 right now on Amazon, it's listed as a "deal price" so it may go back up again soon.

I got mine today and it's impressive for a cheap phone.

Just so no one misses this, Amazon has a bundle of 40 free apps today through Friday, though I don't know whether the bundle changes or not during these three days.

There are a lot of worthwhile apps here. I already had about half of them.

And of course, don't forget the regular FAOTD, which today is here.

[EDIT: Dup of previous thread. Shoulda known tubemonkey would have already alerted this.]

I'll bet they are fun to watch.

I was thinking of the old comic books. Seems to me Supe made coal into diamonds several times in those. I think in the TV show he made an enormous diamond to replace the eye of an idol, in order to save the lives of Perry White and his sister.

My son is having Volt-envy issues. I wish I'd bought two at the time. He's beginning to understand the need for a second device to conserve the phone battery.

(Am amused... are we going to keep this thread going until it can be renamed BF2015?)

The Volt is turning out to be the killer deal. It's still available at Amazon for $60. That's $20 to $30 more than the RadioShack deal.

Costs more, but still worth it. If it worked with AT&T I'd get one for my son.
