Well I did it

[Dave Blake]

I am squarely back in the MS camp. All my Android and iPhone devices are gone. I am now using my L925 full time and I am typing this post using my Microsoft Bluetooth keyboard and Wedge Mouse on my surface Pro. This just feels right.

 

[Laura Knotek]

Awesome!

Just out of curiousity, how did you like typing on the iPhone? I find it hard to type in portrait mode, which is how I like typing, since it's too narrow for me. I have big hands for a woman, but most men have bigger hands than me.

 

[Dave Blake]

Same here I had to switch to landscape all the time which reduces what you can see on the screen. Very problematic for me. I had a terrible time reading the text on the screen. In the end the whole experience was just blah. I will say this for backup and device to device connectivity iPhone does a good job. Having an iPhone and iPad at the same time is the way to go if your like IOS.

Surface Pro or Surface Pro 2?

 

[Dave Blake]

Surface Pro the first one. I can't afford a Pro2. I am saving my money for the L1520. I traded my Note 3 (upgrade) for a iPhone 5s Gold. I traded my GG Watch for a iPad Mini then I traded both of them for this perfect condition Surface Pro 64gb with type cover, box, pin, and charger.

Its been a fun ride I learned a lot. The end game I basically paid $450 for a Surface Pro. On the way I got to play with a Note 3 and GG Watch. (Next big thing my ***) Then I got to experience the world of Apple with a iPhone 5s Gold and iPad Mini.

Its nice to know I am where I belong and I can speak from experience when I say that.

I heard the GG Watch is a lemon. Lots of people are returning them.

Technically it works as described. It makes calls and everything just like they say it will do. The voice quality is bad the sound level from the speaker phone is low. The added twist is that the third party apps need work. Some of the apps are really bad and some don't work at all. It just doesn't do much. Think about it how often do you make calls with speaker phone? If you use the watch you have to do it all of the time. Its just not convenient.

I could see that looking really silly talking to a watch to do phone calls.

But **** Tracy always made it look so cool.

I don't know if they are old enough to remember **** Tracy.

 

[Laura Knotek]

I'm old enough.

 

[palandri]

I'm old enough.

I still have LP records :grin:

 

[Laura Knotek]

I still have LP records :grin:

So do I.

 

[Dave Blake]

DT wanted people to hear what he was talking about most of the time I don't want people to know what I am saying. More important I don't want people knowing what I am being told.

 

[palandri]

So do I.

I also have a few 8 tracks which are useless and I have a load of cassettes. :wink:

I never had 8 tracks, just records and cassettes. I kept the records, but I sold the cassettes when I could still get money for them. I don't have any cassettes now, just records, CDs and MP3s.

 

[palandri]

Craig 8 track players for cars were real popular when I was growing up. You'd get to play your 8 track tape about a dozen times before the 8 track player ate it.

 

[stmav]

And you had to have Jensen coaxial speakers to go with your Craig player. Plus you also kept a book of matches in the car to stuff under the tape when it started double tracking.

 

[Laura Knotek]

I didn't even have a cassette player in my car until my 1991 Mustang. But I didn't buy after market car audio components.

..and you had to have Deep Purple Machine Head playing Lyrics for the Machine Head album by Deep Purple :grin:
