Re: Great Review!
Does Edge on W10M have the "Reading View" like W10-Tablet/Desktop Edge does? That is a major, marvelous feature.
yes it does
Cortana on my Lumia 635 AUTOMATICALLY delivers incoming texts over the Bluetooth headset, reading them aloud to me, then asking me if I want to dictate a response, call the person, or ignore the message.
i think my favorite part is that cortana reads your response back to you to make sure she got it right, Cortana is the only true ...
Re: Since Samsung dropped the ball on the Note 5
having owned a WP8, several android(note 3 and moto x most recent) and several iphones i can say hands down Windows beats android and ios, the only reason i stopped using my 920, was because a lack of apps that i needed. My cousin now uses it and he installed W10 on it and i have got to play with it some, and it is amazing, and now the microsoft has been able to start bringing in more devs ...
Re: And here we all were
yeah i dont know where he is getting only to smart phone OS's, he might be trying to imply the windows cant compete or isnt going to last, but Windows is a far superior OS compered to android and ios, just lacking in the app store if they can solve this, then they could become the number one mobile OS
Re: New Erra of Spartanphones...Smartphones?
now all microsoft needs to do is make flagship windows phones uses atom processors and make it so the flagship phones can run legacy win32 programs and you will have a phone that will destroy iphone and android, why would anyone want to buy one of those to is windows phones are a full fledge PC that can run any program as long as it meets the spec requirments, and not be stuck to a controlled ecosystem
other then LTE
other then limited LTE support the M8s is way better then the regular M8
Re: wow for all you skeptics I think you should see this
T Bone sounds like apple should offer you a new job in marketing, you are right, presentation just is not the same without Steve Jobs
Re: Catching Up
You are correct there about prepaid, you didnt mention you were talking about prepaid otherwise i would have kept my mouth shut
Samsung, HTC, and LG cant compete
the only android phone that can compete with this is the New Moto X,
I honestly think both Apple and Moto should have stuch with 4.7inch screens, Iphone 5s was to small and note 3 is way to big, i have owned both i think my original Moto X is better then either one
Tech spec wars are overrated, apples A7 chip out performs every android phone out there, with less cores and slower clock speed, why becuase when they do ...
Re: Catching Up
you havnt needed to use wifi for the activation in a couple yrs buddy. iphones activate over cellular connection just like android and windows phone, you can use wifi if you want but you dont need to. I also sell cell phones for a living, and i can tell you they are all pretty much excatly the same
Re: Overpriced still
it is $60 a month for 2GB unlimited talk and txt *and* a subsidized (2 year) iphone/S5 for $199.99 with no sales
Re: Overpriced still
this is exactly the same as there prepaid plan, there prepaid plan is 45 for unlimited talk and txt with 500mb of data, $5 for 500mb extra so do the math its the same, plus you will get better customer service and cell service and there contract plans and a discount on the phone so this is actualy better then what any other carrier has to off for one line at the moment
Re: government needs to stay out
agreed goverment should not have a say, it should be up to the airlines if they, they could even market some of there flights as cell phone free or cell phones use promitted so you could reach all of you consumers
Re: score one for the people
less then that if you read its only in congested areas so most people with unlimited data wont even notice because they arnt getting throttled unless they go to a sporting event or some type of convention
Its a smart move by Verizon
Re: So...
for instance with the 12month next program you are able to trade in your phone at 12months and stop paying installments on it and get a new device that you pay installments on, or you can continue paying it off and at 20months when its paid off upgrade it and keep the phone because you have paid the phone off all the way they dont make you trade it in
Re: They do exist!????!!!
Just because i like apple doesnt mean I'm one of the iSheep, I did traded in my iPhone 5S for a Note 3, and a custom Moto X as a secondary phone, the only reason i would care about removable batter is if the charging port broke, so i could use a external charger, iphone charginf ports dont brake nearly as often as micro USB
more people have charging port problems with there andriod then they do battery problems, 50% ...
Re: What exactly was the problem with the storm?
I for one hope Apple never moves to mico USB, it is the worst charging port ever made, I would much rather my phone be a tad bigger and have a mini USB over micro, the lighting port is way better then both of those its small and doesnt brake as easy as the micro, and if it does its just the charger not the port like so many android phones
I call BS!!!!
Nvidia is full of them selves
"According to Nvidia, the Kepler GPU can match the performance of dedicated gaming devices, such as the Microsoft Xbox One and the Sony PlayStation 4. Despite the power performance"
Re: Bitter much?
you are missing the part where you can activate under there next plan so you can get one of there devices for $0 down and pay monthly for it, also you can trade in one of your phones and buy a AT&T one at full price and get the $450 credit
Re: Exactly Where
I dont think he undetstood the article because if he did he wouldnt have made that comment
T bone the article is talking about how consumers have the right to have the carrier unlock thier phone after they have completed there two year agreement so if the customer wants to use it on a different network they can
Re: Typo
i was just about to make the same comment
Re: In case you hadn't noticed.
I'm so sick of people who talk about the aesthetic and artistic qualities of a device as "design". Engineers design things. Marketing departments screw them up with their "art". Art and design are NOT the same thing.
I think somebody has been drinking a littlebit to much of the samsung koolaid. Most people base there phone purchase of two things the features they want(examples: screen size, OS, battery life, DNLA, NFC, IR Blaster, apps, camera, custamization, internal hardware) and each ...
Re: Big whoop
nowhere close to the iPhone, that fake leather is super cheap, along with the plastic Samsung likes to use. But the iPhone isnt the cream of the crop, the iPhone 5/5s are up there but, material/build quality go Nokia with the Polycarbonate used in the 920
Re: Not a premium device
If you actually read what i posted you would have seen where i stated HARDWARE. I have also stated this several times Andriod needs Apple, and Apple needs Andriod. With out one the other wouldnt be where its at today.
Its not that there are more people that want these features then I think, I said only about %10 of smartphone users want these features so out of about 150million smartphones in the US thats still 15million people in the ...
Re: Not a premium device
You are right I dont really push my phones to the limit anymore I use to be that guy. What I look for in a premium isn't gadgets that other devices dont have, I look for a device that does what every other device can do but better.
i wont consider DNLA or IRBlaster a requirement for a premium device tell more people start demanding them(DNLA was a requirement for premium devices back when the galaxy line first came out ...
Re: So I wonder..
i agree, more pixils also require more battery to use, and more processing power, i could understand this on bigger tablets, but lets get better priced 4K tv's first
Re: Not a premium device
Zpike said:
It certainly beats the, notably premium, GS IV in a couple ares like processor speed and an available LTE-A radio. However, it falls behind in some other categories like battery size, DLNA, IR sensor, and memory card slot. Also, one review I read already of the Nexus 5's camera presented it as lackluster.
Battery size is the same as the the HTC One, and not much smaller then the S4 plus the snapdragon 800 processor use less battery for ...
common user's perspective
your right customization is your main difference between iOS and android,the only other real difference is the extra gimmicking gadgets that companys like Samsung, HTC, and LG like to add to there andriod phones to one up eachother, not that those gadgets are bad its just along with the full customization options on andriod your common smartphone user which is %80-%90 of them dont use those gadgets or do more customization then just change wallpaper, ringtones(most people dont even ...
Re: disappointed
i agree with your statement about switching being frustrating and a learing curve, but the same can be said about switching from andriod to iOS, for some iphone is a better phone and for others andriod is better, I've seen plenty of people that have andriod and iphone would make a better phone for them and people with Iphone when andriod would make a better phone for them, people stick with one phone for so long when the switch, ...
Re: disappointed
i loved my lumia 920, had it for about 6months, just not enough apps that i unsed so had to switch back to andriod a samsung(big mistake) then remembered why i left andriod so went back to in iphone getting the 5s, but i would love to see the benchmarks on this might pick it up next fall unless they come out with a N6 im a huge phone junkie i always need a new phone one of the ...
disappointed
in nothing about this phone, if i didnt pick up the iphone 5s and had planned on sticking with android this would be the only phone android to consider, touchwiz and htcsence are ok but they bog down the processor so much, the N5 is finally a android that can compete with Iphone in terms of fragmention and speed of OS, i am a big believer in manufacturer overlay on the OS is what causes %90 of the fragmention ...
Re: blind?
i apologize you didnt specify this thread thought you meant another article
have you used the 1020? cuz i have, yes you get the lossless but that really only counts when it comes to megapixels, the phones not capable of getting a good focus when digitally zoomed in that far, so your image isnt pixilated, but its not sharp enough to use for any pro photograhy
you say, "I find it amusing how people always want to assume they know why ...
Re: Great phone but would make a few changes
please show me this explanation as to "why"
Re: Great phone but would make a few changes
its not that hard install a new battery in any phone that is sealed up
Re: Great phone but would make a few changes
actualy photographers wont care at all, they know image quality is much more the pixal count, pro cameras are around the 18-21 meagpixal range anyways
plus if you look at side by side photos taken by the 1020, 920, and iphone 5s, the 920 was almost as good as the 1020 and the iphone even beat the 1020 in some cases
Re: Fingerprint Scanner security
i think it will actually catch on, as long as companys do it right(like apple with touch ID) we will see once more peaple start reviewing HTC's version, but if most people get the same results as Eric did with it only working 50% of the time then it wont get very for in the wireless industry, but with my iPhone 5s it works over 99% of the time and its fast unlocking my phone with touch id then ...
Re: Fingerprint Scanner security
this is far from a step backwards, the method they used to unlock the iphone only works in perfect circumstances, circumstances that if were even slightly off wouldnt work, in the real world you would have to have very expensive equipment to get a print that is goodenough to use, the guys that hacked it even said that, people that could do this would have a even easier time cracking you password, the fingerprint scanner is a lot more ...
finger scanner placement
why dont you like the touch id placement, i have the 5s and find it a great place to put the sensor, i can have my phone unlocked before a even get it out of my pocket using touch id and it works over 99% of the time, having it on the back seems out of the way, while the home button most iphone users use to unlcok there phone over the power button, making inlucking your phone seamless
Re: "...even on AT&T and T-Mobile the iPhone cannot do simultaneous voice and 4G LTE data."
Jarahawk said:
"...The iPhone switches to 3G data when simultaneous voice and data is needed because there are not separate antennas for the 4G LTE radio and the voice radio.
Apple did not want to add the expense of a second antenna which would allow the LTE radio to have it's own antenna rather than sharing the antenna between the GSM/CDMA radios and the LTE radio."
thats incorrect only the all AT&T iphone can do simultaneous voice and data even the iphone ...
Re: As someone who isn't an Apple fanboy
on the 5S they made it out of sapphire so it doesnt scratch and mess up the fingerprint scanner
Re: Disappointing
we shall se they havent said how many core, what clock speeds are or RAM amount, I agree if they dont put in enough RAM then it will just bottleneck a 64-bit processor, i want the 5S, but i also like the Galaxy Watch, so I'm also thinking about the note 3(its just to big for me) i like the smaller sceen, so if samsung gives a close date for S4 capatibility, thats also a option,
