So I've see,10 different surface owners of the surface 3/ surface pro 3 and surface pro 4. I've seen 4 surface 3 4 surface pro3 and 2 surface pro 4. I have not seen a iPad pro ...yet

So, I'm reading the Next it Robin reviews and i like it. Problems are:

1) Not at that price tag. I can get a G4 with vastly superior strengthens in the camera and removable battery and storage front for the same price.

2) Don't like the cloud storage option

If comparing it to things in that price range, it's about even with the 5X, the Oneplus Two, the X Play and slightly ahead of the A9, but the X Pure and the G4 kills it.

Still, if they were selling this at $299, I'd do it. It's got the Xperia style fingerprint scanner too and i love the funky design.

The closest thing WP has to this design wise is the Nuance. We need to see more stuff like this...

When you get paid for work, your option to decline is to change jobs...

That's not always as simple as you may think, especially away from cities. Also, surely a bit of an extreme approach? Wouldn't you say? Perhaps you wouldn't, but I think many people would.

it does look like a good looking phone but I don't think a good looking phone is worth that much when its functionality uses the cloud. I do wonder how it works out with people with a data cap? most likely not so good

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

I'm in a bit of a dilemma . since msft isn't going to make anymore midrange phones I don't have an upgrade path for my 830. sure there is the blu win hd LTE, the acatel one touch for windows 10 but those phones lack in the camera department , also the recording isn't that good. which means the there is the 950 but that's to expensive for my taste right now. also the rumored phone from HP is going to be a high end phone which I bet will cost around the same price of the 950 XL when it launched. it sucks to want a mid range right now in wp :/

Well they'll have a midranger, but not any soon. I've seen some pretty nice photos taken with BLU, it's a nice piece of hardware.

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

Now that was a solid 15mins of reading and trying to catch and understand everything.

So, apparently, you guys have some concerns about capitalism? Or should i say you kinda hate it? Well, i'm not far from that myself, but again there's the other side of the coin.

If thing have stayed like they were on socialism/communism, that means no competing market. Would we have the world we have today? I mean, if there wasn't competition, what would push the inovations? In Yugoslavia we had f***** up cars, Yugo, ever heard of it? It is officialy the worst car ever driven on US roads (there may be some propaganda to it, but you'll get the point), government controlled the market, the prices, the wages, productivity, import... everything. And there was no or very few reasons to advance in fields where a consumer would have benefits.

Thoughts?

Just to be clear, i'm not justifying capitalism here, just putting out some facts :winktongue:

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

My only thought for a forum like this is to point out that socialism<>communism. Communism is an extreme form of socialism (as is national socialism for that matter) just as slavery is an extreme form of capitalism. Your post, Rose, seems to indicate otherwise and I think that will confuse any responses you get.

I didn't quite get that one, could you be a bit more clear? What does <> means?

Sahib's brain is on fire today!

That's my question with it. I think you may have more granular control over that, but nothing realistically beats bigger internal storage or SD slot for the data cap challenged folks.

People choose to do that.

My response is more of an insider's joke to Sahib, but folks sometimes will be at a job, be unhappy enough, then move for a complete fresh start. It does happen.

Nothing extreme about choosing that, if that's what's the best fit.

Chattel slavery initially started out as an economic vehicle for Western European countries to modernize by exploiting natural resources from other parts of the world since they were cut of from riches in Asia at the time of the Renaissance. But, chattel slavery evolved into something more than an "extreme for of capitalism" due to its (initially unforeseen and subsequently reinforced upon their discovery) devastating socioeconomic, sociocultural and psychological effects.

Therefore, it doesn't fly as an appropriate analogy in the context you described. Just saying...

But compared to my 830 it falls short :/ sure it uses a new SOC( 400 vs 410 ) but that's about it no HAAC mic, doesn't have OIS, there is no shutter button , no wireless charging.

On paper capitalism seems good but in reality it only benefits the rich ,while the middle class ( if there is one anymore ) are stuck paying most of the taxes and the poor ..... Stay poor.That's an over simplified Version of how I can wrap my head around capitalism . Each economic ideal has its ups and downs.

I agree nothing does beat bigger internal storage. Considering devices are coming with 32 +SD card or 64 GB, who is this device for? I'm having a hard time thinking who it would be for

Same people targeted by the Nexus 5X. Both are very comparable actually...that's why there is still a 16GB Nexus in 2016...
