WC 1M Post Challenge - You Ready?!

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

I don't mind now, as the 1520 isn't my daily driver anymore... bring on the Fast Ring builds!

I've been on the fast ring for some time now, on my primary and only phone. There was very few issues, nothing that would make my phone useless.

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

Hope they both are OK. Some folks just don't know how to play the sport well and are a danger to everyone on the pitch....

I've got one of those in my class. He just doesn't care what he's doing. No matter what sport we play. He even tripped me while playing basketball, the most intolerant sport when it comes to contacts between players.
I just try to keep myself away from him, or do my best to find myself in the same team he is, that way I can be safe but have fun too.

I get injured very easily, I just can't stand idiots like that.

Nothing sucks more than being in the middle of a deathmatch and having your keyboard batteries die.. or the actual wireless connection lag. Ugghh

Or to have your scrolling wheel die in the middle of awp cw. It was 4 days old, damn.

Speaking of injuries. A guy I know who plays for the local football club, broke his leg yesterday while playing some friendly match. It was indoors, just like in your case Sahib.
From what I know is that he wanted to kick the ball, he was near the out line, he missed the ball and hit in some kind of pole. It was an open fracture. Not nice. You better take care Sahib or you might come one step closer to being a cyborg.

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

So i get home and see a notice that NJ state is coming by on Tuesday to inspect my apartment. Well, typically this is supposed to happen every 5 years.

I find this to be interesting because I've lived here for 6 years and this is my 3 such notice. Either somebody cannot count in state government (wouldn't surprise me) or the last one was rescheduled. I'll be nice and call the office to let them in on Monday and see if the damn supervisor will get my tub on the list to be reglazed, finally...

Speaking of the BMW. We've decided to get rid of it. It's too big and is only going to cause use more repair bills. Better to cut out losses. We can always get another one in the future.

So we're hoping to find something that will suit us better. Possibly a Peugeot 308.

Current 308?

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

Which one will you be getting? 2008 or 2015? This newer one seems much bigger compared to the older one.

It's still short for the class it's in, about the same as golf. But not quite as for elderly people like golf

Sahib's already one...his brain works on the type of autopilot us regular Joe's haven't been able to figure out yet...

I was doing that with my M8 until it got the ax. At least I'm getting the .218 build to test out...

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

So let's do a write up on a Nexus 5X.

The good:
Screen is beautiful. Colours are punchy, 1080p is perfectly enough for 5,2". Didn't expect it to be that good considering it's IPS. Thumbs up from me.
Build. The plastic is similar to that on Moto G 2014. Phone isn't slippery at all. It's also great size for me, I can easily us it with one hand. Great job LG.
Speeeed. This thing is fast. Had some force closes at the beginning and it happened that icons took a moment to load but nothing frustrating. Apps open fast, No problems.
Fingerprint scanner. It's fast, works great, even with a bit wet fingers. I saved same finger 2 times so this maybe helped but anyway, loved it and it's one of the thing I will miss.

The bad:
Battery. It's one of the biggest let downs of the phone. It was up to almost 4h SOT today but I was at home on WiFi most of the time. When I was in school it was between 1 and 2 hours. I had to put it on charge everyday some time in the afternoon. It does at least have fast charging so that is a nice bonus but still.
Next is a speaker. Sound is good but would like it to be a bit louder.

The awesome.
So Nexus have bad camera? Wrong, so wrong. Pictures are clear, with enough of detail and most surprising is that it's good also in low light. Even with 12 MP it gives you enough room to zoom into picture. Oh and 120fps video is fun As far as I'm concerned camera on this phone is way better than one I had on Lumia 930 or Galaxy S5. Awesome job.

Nice review! I am impressed by your pictures. The camera appears to be excellent.

Sport Driver:
I agree with your review 100%. Battery wasn't that much of a problem for me but yes that was the weak spot. The camera and fingerprint scanner were awesome. Also since it has NFC, I loved using Android Pay.

Wish I could do that with my Lumia :-(

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

Nice write up, Sport Driver.

You should do more test drives more often with these kind of reviews...

So Ed, what iPhone is your GF getting?

She's still stuck on the SE.

I was on the Fast Ring the whole time, even while the 1520 was my daily driver. I live on the cutting edge!

edit: I never had any real issues either!

I like Sport Driver's review as well... I'm assuming the 6P would improve on the battery?

My 6S Plus checks all those boxes; amazing camera, wicked fast fingerprint reader, NFC/Apple pay (which I love using!)... plus it has awesome battery life that lasts all day!

I'm just saying I'm still very happy with my choice

I fondled an SE today in a AT&T store. Not bad. That's the only Apple device I'd buy right now, even though the screen is tiny ***. I liked the iPhone 6 feel, but didn't like how slippery it was.

I did have an Android moment where I quasi-forgot that there were no capacitive keys flanking the Touch ID home key. So I tapped on either side and said "yes, this is why all this is just such wasted space...buttons should be here."
