What Are You Doing Right Now

Apparently the ZenPhone 2 can already be ordered with two different CPU choices now.

Phonebloks is the one I was thinking of... (https://phonebloks.com/en).

I've managed to live with my Galaxy S4 since July 2013. Frankly I really started to hate the phone at the 9 month mark, though to be fair, I think perhaps my problems where caused by my recharging habits - that first summer was pretty brutal on my phone, full to dead in 6 or less hours, recharge and do it again for about 2 months straight.
I picked up a Lumia 635 last Dec 2014 and been using that as my primary phone since then. While it's a bit under powered and the camera totally sucks, overall I'm pretty happy with it. I really want to get a 640 XL - more power, better camera - BIGGER...

Everything is that way. If you want to use the iPad for real data entry you need to buy a keyboard.
Yeah but the iPad isn't marketed as being for that. It's a tablet and just a tablet. To use it the way it is primarily intended, marketed and spoken about all you need is the iPad and a normal case. I have many iPads and don't use keyboards or any add ons. The SP is all about attempting to be a laptop which to make it even a poor laptop requires buying extra stuff.
You're right there - but I think the marking is changing. All I ever hear these days is.. when can I use an iPad to chart? When can I carry around only my iPad, etc, etc...

@Dashrender Looking at phones today as well. I really like the Asus ZenFone2 with two exceptions.
- Phone. No. F.
- Why no vanilla android?
I'd buy it right this second if I didn't have to root it and have all that hassle.

For a flagship phone, I'm really torn on what I want. I like the Galaxy S6 or the Note 4... (the Edge is just stupid!) but then - I really like my Windows phone too - problem.. I really want my Starbucks app back - I know it's lame but I do.. and I'll miss Google maps and Google Drive, etc.. Here maps is ehh at best!

You may want to look at the LG G3 (is the G4 out?) I replaced my Note 2 with it. I heard the Note 4 is a huge step but I'm really liking the G3. I've been getting crazy good battery life with it recently too.

Sammy's stuff is really nice and all but I can get that ZenPhone for $300USD straight up no contract, which gets me a 15% discount on my plan.
$80mth x 24mths x 0.15 = $288.....
Waaiiiiiiiiiit that's not a great deal at all........ glad I did the math now.
-
@Dashrender If you are using Windows Phone 8/8.1, check and see if Waze is available (I think it is)... I've used that for a while. It's really cool.
I got the Note 4 and love it . I take notes with it, as well as draw (well doodle... I love to doodle, lol). It is generally fast -- even though I keep it on PowerSave mode all the time (habbit from my note 3, lol).
-
@dafyre If you can get Verizon, you don't have to fork out the $$ for the phone up front... You can pay for it over a couple of years and then upgrade again at 18 months if you want.

It was so dangerous for me to use and worked so poorly that I removed it from my phone. It felt like it was going to be good but once I used it for a bit I realized that it was dangerous and poor. I took it off my phone completely to keep my wife from opening it and making me upset. I found it mostly unusable, the interface was just terrible.

Or TMobile and the savings in the service makes the phone more than free by comparison.

What? The S6 is like $699 or something.. with no contract - and of course no savings on your plan either..

Yeah the Note 4 is definitely a really nice device.. cool features etc...

@scottalanmiller If you enjoy not having signal, then I agree! T-Mobile has a really bad rap around here. So does Straight Talk & Cricket.
AT & T is supposedly good as well as Verizon... but I've been with verizon a number of years and they have always done me right. I don't mind paying for a service that works. Even if it is one of (if not) the most expensive.

Are you talking about Waze? What is dangerous about it? I can't speak to the Windows Phone version, but the Android version has always been pretty good.

If AT&T works so would Circket as well as straight talk. ST is an MVNO on AT&T and Verizon (for CDMA). Circket is a MVNO fully owned by AT&T and operates on the AT&T network.
T-Mobile by far has the worst coverage of any I've tired. Way worse than even Sprint/Nextel.
