I bought one of these a few weeks ago, so here's a few questions and a bit of insight: Are you the one that's going to be servicing/maintaining this laptop when you say you're looking for something with longevity or will your sister be doing it on her own? I got mine for $629 + tax during a...

Don't really care about the customization, but is there anything along the lines of Tasker and Llama for iOS (including jailbreak)? The automation and convenience are my main reasons for sticking with Android for now.

I would spend a bit more up front and get that anker one, it's not that much more expensive in the grand scheme of things for having smart ports and high customer satisfaction and reliability.

A few times a week. Better experience on the tablets overall because in portrait mode the Note 4 is a little too small to write on comfortably while holding with the other hand though I think it's fine in landscape on a surface. I use it to annotate pictures or take notes at work for the most part.

Could be a repeat of the X 2014 vs GS5 screens with the X having a previous gen panel that was more similar to the GS4.

They took too long to announce this (and IMO the price is too high for a "naked" phone without any of the Moto X's glorious features) so I have a Note 4 instead. The single model for every US carrier is great though.

There's two types of WiFi calling. The one you're describing from T-Mobile is an extra service they provide that uses a WiFi connection in lieu of a cellular tower connection so the calls are all done through the phone number assigned to you by T-Mobile. The second type is basically just a VoIP...

Just want to know what kind of screen this'll have (LCD, last gen AMOLED like 2014 X, current gen AMOLED like Note 4?) and storage options before the $200 Note 4 preorder promo ends so I can decide what I want of the two...

Are you waiting for something like foldable screens/phones? I dunno about the physical feasibility of putting out any of these "wow factors" to market just yet or any time soon for that matter.

Mostly pertains to safari not being able to reliably maintain multiple tabs due to shortage of memory so when you go back to older tabs the page will end up refreshing. Waste of data for people on tiered plans. Similarly going to the cards thing by double pressing home button and selecting...

Might've considered a swap from Android phone + iOS tablet to iOS phone + Android tablet (fueled in part because of Tegra K1 equipped Nexus 9) if these phones had 2GB RAM. The app crashes and Safari page reloads on my Mini Retina are annoying enough that I'd never want to deal with that on a phone.

I have no idea WTF is going on with their variants. XT1092 has AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile bands as if they played the merger card to a T (or they just wanted to do it Nexus 5 style?). Then Motorola announces there will be no Sprint version of this phone. The GSM unlocked "Pure Edition"...

If you're not in a rush, wait for the Nexus 9. Nvidia accidentally leaked its existence and that it's going to feature Tegra K1 (not sure which version, but possibly the Denver 64-bit variant to showcase Android L running on a 64-bit SOC).

Difference is the OPO is being manufactured and sold by one entity in-house while in the past google was contracting another manufacturer. I don't know if Motorola being the manufacturer will make the difference this time in pricing but I guess its possible.

Claimed A05V7XR432HX1M66 (the middle one). Thank you :)

I would go to the carrier that the phone came from for the transaction first. Not sure if going to the carrier you'replanning to use will do any good.

I don't have big hands, I think the Moto X is the largest I can take for 100% screen coverage one-handed with my pinky below the bezel for balance. But fact of the matter is even when testing with 5.5" phones I can get something like 80% coverage, missing just the top right hand corner (using...

Hope they go back to AMOLED. Would love something like an oversized Moto X, one handed use be damned.

240 off contract doesn't sound too unreasonable to me.

Reality is battery life is going to be crap with any dedicated GPU gaming on a laptop, and I doubt it'll be significantly better even with Broadwell and Maxwell. There's some reasonable (as in 5 lbs or so) gaming laptops now like MSI Ghost and Gigabyte P34G but again, battery life while gaming...

Might be the first time I'd rather have the exynos chip set over snapdragon if its really going to be ARMv8 and 20nm. The US versions will probably end up with s805 though.

The phone junkie side of me wants to buy one just to see what the fuss is all about, but the practical side of me says that if I want to use a 5.5" LCD phone again I can just pull the Optimus G Pro out of my drawer...

Seeing as how the Nexus 10 is still available on the Play Store it's possible the new 5.9" size is legit and they will keep the current Nexus 5 as is.

We aren't even at 20nm and we're supposed to believe 14nm will be ready by 2H 2015?

Wtf was expecting the Denver core version of K1...

Maybe they've calculated that overages are earning them more money than unlimited or something.

There's a legit 4:3 phone in Korea. http://m.gsmarena.com/lg_vu_3_f300l-5723.php

Resale value on a blackberry probably sucks, and if you like the phone/OS I would get them to unlock it and move to an MVNO like Cricket/AIO with a small data plan for your emails.

I wish someone would make a 16:10 phone again like the original Note lol

ATT unlimited wasn't anything special either, I believe it was the same throttling setup T-Mobile does now.

I used to, but now I find that I upgrade so damn often that I don't care anymore. Bigger initial capacity would certainly help though, constantly streaming music hours will force most phones on a double recharge cycle per day.

Just buy some of those GS5 screens Motorola

Just looked at phone arena size compare and its not really that much smaller than the optimus g pro, might've been basically the same size if it wasn't for the change from capacitive to on screen buttons, probably goes to show how compact their design was even before the g2.

Kinda tired of seeing all these midrange phones with the quad A7 S400 variant rather than the dual Krait. Haven't seen any indicators that android is multithreaded enough to justify the former.

No word on pricing? I would assume these are going to be available on contract in the carrier/big box stores too then to be honest. It's just the same phones on different software.

With low minutes/text a pay as you go plan is probably your best bet. Airvoice for ATT towers or Lycamobile for T-Mobile towers are good starting points.

There might be a way to do something like long press multi-task button as an effective menu button. Not entirely certain if it's available for your phone specifically, I just recall doing that with an HTC One S before on CM 10.2.

It's still too early to take these rumors too seriously IMO but that's still as tall as G2...

$600ish for an ultrabook styled machine is indeed very good.

Is there something wrong with the old Lenovo you reference that just not spending money isn't an option?
