Nah just joking brah. It makes logical sense for some. I did it for years but I don't love iOS anyways to go back to it so I'm good with my solution. Years ago I used to carry around a Neo35 which was basically a 3.5" 40GB hard drive in a case that would slide into a DIN (Thank God 6th gen Accords were double DIN) and a phone. What do you take to work/vaca?

So I went to Linkin Park concert last week and tried taking a video with my HTC M8 and was extremely impressed. Had I known it would do as well I would have taken a couple more.

Work I usually take my phone, bring the iPod in from the car (no signal, and can't stream over work wifi), iPad and my laptop. Perhaps the Kindle and a handheld VG if I really don't want to work at all.

Vacation...here goes:
Laptop, iPad, phone, Anker battery, 3DS XL, PSP, Vita, 3 DSi, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, Kindle, Sansa Clip and cords for all of them. 3DS game case, Ds game case.

Kids, man.

Doom878

Thankfully work doesn't block my streaming service so I'm covered here for music. Yeah I got kids too with their own little wifi-only devices plus they use the laptops.

CocheseUGA

Our IT sucks ass. The WiFi barely works as it is. Unfortunately we are underneath Radiology, so there's no way in hell I'd get a signal.

Meh, I said that at first too until I used one. The early versions sucked, just like all new things, but they are pretty formidable now.

1020 = Best vacation camera phone combo in one ever.

Doom878

I remember when Android sucked. I think the game changed with 2.3?

speedemon90

iPhone was probably still better then. Thats when I switched, but I'll admit that iPhone was just a lot smoother and things of nature.

I think Android really caught up 4.0.

CocheseUGA

It's the interface I can't tolerate. Unless they change that, I'm good.

TSXy Luster

Please elaborate?

CocheseUGA

Windows Phone. Can't stand the tiles.

Ordered the LG G3 to surprise the wifey on her Bday...will let y'all know how I like it

CocheseUGA

Give me a good camera, and they have my attention.

speedemon90

I thought EVLeaks was done?

And are those front facing speakers?

speedemon90

those bezels look bigger

TSXy Luster

He is done, this was just his parting retirement gift to everyone.

And yes, front facing speaker

Hard to judge from renders, so here are comparisons with the same renders

speedemon90

Yea it does look a tiny bit bigger on the sides. But the top and bottom bezels go slimmer even with speakers. Nice.

TSXy Luster

I'm predicting it will be the same size as the Nexus 4, but with the bigger 5.2" screen.

I don't know if I am more fascinated with the magic Moto widget on the back, or the dual led flash ring camera.

Some cool features that I forgot about or didn't know about:

ok the LG G3 is absolutely PIMP !!!



will post up a detailed review...

speedemon90

so the iphone 6 is rumored to get its power button on the side now with the bigger screen. I'm pretty excited by this because now iPhone peeps don't need to go searching for my power button. I swear they have the most befuddled look on their faces when the power button isnt at the top of the phone.

iTrader: (5)

you can still baffle them by handing them the new LG G3

speedemon90

haha to be fair, that would stump android users too, i'm sure

Mizouse

Where's the power button on that?

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

speed, true....

took me a minute to figure it out as well


Miz, its on the back...




I have to say it looks like a huge inconvenience but after using it for 2 days it just seems right...the gestures on the screen helps a lot....double tap on the screen will lock the phone and double tap anywhere will unlock it....

you can customize the unlock with a new "knock code"....so the screen is off, phone is locked, and you tap/knock on the screen at particular places...fuq it, here is the video:


PS: its gonna make you

speedemon90

Yea without that knock feature it would be a bust. I leave my phone on the computer desk a lot and just have to hit the side button to turn it on.

Mizouse

Ohh kind of cool. But yea that would take some time to get used to.

SwervinCL

I do agree with you, but I will say that I've had more "quirks" with this phone in the 2 months I've had it compared to the year and a half I had my HTC One M7. I think i'm going to have to try a factory reset.. Can't wait for that......

Pulled the battery like 3 times.
Yesterday the voice assistant kept popping up with zero user input.
Lags sometimes
Knock screen (not Knock Code) is iffy. Sometimes works, sometimes doesn't.
Haven't even tried the Knock Code just because of that.

But I can say; that when it is working good, I love this phone.

Wonder what options ill have if the factory reset doesn't fix any of these issues.

iTrader: (5)

^^^ hmm

I had no such issues....

I used it stock for a day and then rooted it and used it for another 2 days....zero lag and absolutely no issues....

again I have the D850 (for ATT), its 32GB and 3GB ram....not sure the specs on your phone

SwervinCL

^^Same

iTrader: (5)

no idea then buddy....


and they knock code commercials are effin hilarious

ChodTheWacko

knock to wake is great - i use it tons on both my oppo and xperia tablet.
My phone stays unlocked when connected to my watch.

Not quite sure what to make of the note 4 edge, although having the edge as a taskbar is pretty nifty. Did they actually drop the fingerprint scanner from the note 4? I really wanted that.

speedemon90

I thought the Note 4 has the fingerprint scanner?

So far my favorite thing is the Sony Experia Z3 compact. Looks like a nice little phone!

Doom878

I'd prefer the full size Z3 to maybe even the Note 4 once comparisons and all that come out. Doubt ATT will get it. I can't upgrade till next March so I'll probably wait to see what the S6 goes with.

I like the concept of the Note Edge. They showed a ruler app for it. Don't know why, but I really like that. Pretty much everything they showed for the side bar looked awesome. If they'd make it in a Galaxy S size, I'd be all over it. Still not 100% sure I like the size of the Note class phones.

Doom878

at the Note 4. Is that smaller camera window/maps window Note 4 only? I had the audio down at work.
