Was waiting for this but then they announced the new Nexus. Decision-making sucks. My last two (read: only two) Android phones were pure Android experiences, from the G1 to the G2 (yes, I'm still rocking an older phone). Time for an upgrade, but they keep announcing goodies.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 size has officially grown on me.

It feels like a normal sized phone now, and I'm only reminded how huge it is when I get strange looks in public.

The note 2 is a huge success, but yeah way too big for my taste. I havent made up my mind about changing phone yet the end of this year still reserving some surprises.

I played with a Note when trying to decide if it was too big and it's like holding a paperback book in your hand. Very much on the borderline of pushing the "too big" boundaries, but not crossing it.

Same here (with the pockets that is) and I was apprehensive at first, but it slides in my pockets fairly easily. I am a little nervous about moving too quickly or something and snapping the phone in half on my powerful thigh muscles. 

I have powerful thigh muscles. It's a curse. ;)

Hi Jason ON for me the decision was very easy. The Nexus 4 has no microSD card slot. I need one because with the Samsung mobile dock the Note 2 is my notebook alternative. An microSD card with 32GB is also cheap and I can use it in all my devices.

At least MS made a sync software for mac users, unlike samsung that craps on them.

Well... Apple shouldn't have sued Samsung. But, I digress...

Samsung never had a soft for mac users.

Oh, I didn't know that. I've never owned a Samsung anything: phone, TV, radio, washer/dryer, nothing.

Jason ON which cellphone service are you with?
November 5, 2012 at 11:23 PM
Jason ON said…
T-Mobile at the moment. I'd consider leaving them though. Have been for a while, in fact, but their customer service is fantastic (most of the time).

Jason ON I came from t-mobile but now with Verizon. They do have great customer service and that's the ONLY reason why I sticked around for a while. Eventually, I just had to switch because I need a more reliable service.

Jason ON I should've figured that when you said G1 & G2.

I used to work for Verizon and that company will never get a dime of my money.

Jason ON I used to own a Verizon store, bwhahahahha! I had to let it go 2mos after they released the family shared plans, very recent.

I used to work in a VZ data center. Or rather, I used to manage a VZ data center. Those people are a bunch of lazy asshats.

Jason ON I've been with at&t and t-mobile and Verizon does have the best service in my area. I've never tried sprint, I don't think I will.
November 5, 2012 at 11:38 PM
Jason ON said…
I had at&t before and while it was Cingular. I used to work at an AT&T provisioning center in QA. AT&T Wireless was great, Cingular severely dropped the ball.

VZ gave me a Verizon Wireless phone for work and the service as terrible.

I've never had Sprint either, Lanie deVuch. My roommate ad a few other friends have it and none of them complain too much. They get more coverage than I do on T-Mobile but their speeds aren't as fast. Voice is about the same.

Lanie deVuch (looneylanie) said…
Jason ON I do know of certain areas around where I'm at where sprint has way better signal than any carrier. My whole family is with Verizon and we go camping often. It's the only one that works. But for me, none of them can beat tmobiles customer service.

Cell phones while camping? Blasphemy!
November 5, 2012 at 11:47 PM
Lanie deVuch (looneylanie) said…
Jason ON dude, we go camping in style, you don't even know. Portable showers and bungalow size tents. We have a portable full size kitchen, I don't even know how to describe that.

I don't make a lot of personal posts so please bear with me. #Rufus hasn't been doing well for the past week or so. I mean, he's 13 (at least), and has slowed down due to age, but the past week or two he's been acting like every movement is a Herculean effort. A few times in the past couple of weeks his rear legs have given out on him completely to where I've had to pick him up and carry him which is, in itself, telling. Rufus has always hated being carried and struggled continuously when I did so. Yesterday while petting him I noticed two golf-ball sized things up under his chin. Now, they may be benign lipomas as Rufus is covered with them (one one each thigh, one on each shoulder, one on his chest and a few smaller bumps here and there) or they may be indicative of something else. I'm no vet and aside from emergency medic battlefield training I have no medical experience whatsoever, but these new things seem to be where your or mine lymph nodes are located....

Did you know dog meat is served in restaurants in South Korea?

Did you know dog meat is served in restaurants in South Korea? I didn't. In the United States and most western countries, Fido is a family companion and while it's not ethical to judge another culture by our standards, anyone who doesn't at least (humanely) butcher the animal first is acting without proper care. South Korea relies on western consumerism for their economy and needs to be aware that we do not accept the practice of skinning and boiling dogs alive. Originally shared by April Benney Over 6,000 restaurants in South Korea are still serving dog meat even though it is now illegal. In many Asian countries dogs are boiled alive or skinned alive when slaughtered. It's an unbelievably horrendous & torturous way to die. I know a lot of you hate seeing this kind of posts on G+, but the Asian industry slaughtering dogs & cats is how I first got involved in animal rights & it will always be my main animal welfare concern. It's intolerable what is happen...

What's so innovative about the Apple Watch?

What's so innovative about the Apple Watch? What has Apple done since the launch of the iPhone that was truly innovative? I read articles all he time about features this and software that, but I haven't seen anything where it was definitively proven where Apple has been cutting edge for years. christopher rizzo called me a troll for questioning his religious adherence to Apple consumerism.  So, can someone explain where Apple is truly innovative? I'm not talking about a minor change like the USB-C port or "slide to unlock" but a true innovation that's once again changing the industry. http://www.fastcodesign.com/3043419/what-the-apple-watch-does-that-googles-watches-dont
