Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

Had fun during the fruit stand offering pickup today. Met a member from AndroidCentral at a local Starbucks. We had fun chatting about our devices and preferences. Also showed him the tricks of the trade so to speak. Here is a pic...

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

So there's a company here rolling out 1GB internet. Fibre to home. I've put my interest in. Hopefully there are a few people here wanting that. It's just a touch more expensive than what I pay now. My contact is up late this month.

That would be insane to have speeds like that! My wife would have to upgrade her machine... Finally...

Ignorance, there is a cure.

I wish we had that here! AFAIK, only Verizon and Google have GB Internet. Verizon never had a presence here. This has always been AT&T territory. I doubt if Google is interested.

We'll only get it if there's enough interest in our complex. Otherwise we'll have to wait... no idea of timelines unfortunately.

Checked a popular local market and I don't see 3s anymore. Perhaps keep it and load it with Microsoft stuff. Wait, can it upgrade to 8?

My guess is that it will upgrade to iOS 6 and then just commit suicide since the hardware can't keep up:)

I'd keep it on iOS 5, actually. The biggest problem I have is that I have no apps anymore for iOS. Here's what I mean.

On my desktop I had a large cadre of apps. During my fruit Stand stage (2010), I owned about 350 apps, including a few immoral ones no longer in the app store. When I upgraded to Windows 8.1 from XP, it wiped out all those apps. My old netbook may have a few still, but these were all the good old apps that would run smoothly on the older hardware like a 3G or the Classico.

So it may prove even more of a headache at this point.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

If it doesn't have value to you anymore then get rid of it for a price.

I may just do that. There are other pressing matters at hand.

I do like the zenfone. While I think my M7 is still a competent fit as a spare, I'll watch the Zenfone 2's progress on XDA.

The Zenfone 2 is a fine phone, and is even cheaper (here) and better (looks, specs) than my Honor 6. Can you do me a favor? Will you be able to have *both* LTE and Wi-Fi on at the same time?

I would doubt that WiFi and LTE work simultaneously unless Intel did something radically different than Qualcomm.

Currently my internet speed is just 78mps, which is rarely achieved. My wife complains about it. Of course I think her laptop is 99% the issue though.

My Lumia 636 works with both data and Wi-Fi on. That allows me to connect to the internet and DLNA or Miracast to my TV.

The Honor 6 and iPhone won't do that.
