My first was an HTC Hero. Got it 2 days before release from Best Buy, and I think it was on 1.5 Cupcake or 1.6 Donut. I *think* it got updated to 2.3 Gingerbread, but it might have been a custom ROM I was running. The first Android phone I played with was the G1 on 1.0 or 1.1...whatever it...

In my 2016 Mustang, that little speedometer icon is what I press to return to the built-in Sync3 software.

Maybe for my kids. I'm eyeing this and possibly the Moto C

I'm not sure how much it matters for you, but law enforcement can legally compel you to swipe your fingerprint or use the iris scanner to unlock your phone. They can't compel you to enter your password, though. That's been deemed by the courts to be a violation of the 5th amendment.

I think the S8 is big enough, and this is me going from a Note 5, to an HTC 10, to a ZTE Zmax Pro(lol), and then to an S8. I'd like the extra battery in the S8+, but not enough to spend the extra $100 on it. The Note 5 had the same size battery with a similar total screen area, and the S8 should...

Just my own experience with my Note 5.

I'm honestly surprised it's not a pre-order gift. Maybe it'll be a Samsung Pay gift when you add a card like they had off and on since the Note5 launch.

I thought it wasn't as bad as I feared once I held it. We'll see how I adapt to it. I pre-ordered after playing with it.

Hopefully any USB-C to HDMI cable will work.

Re: Official: Galaxy S8 Pre-Order Thread Pre-ordered from T-Mobile. S8 Orchid Gray 64GB

Would you be able to give us a breakdown of what causes a phone to get slower over time? For a more specific example, Samsung Galaxy S phones are pretty bad about this, while my wife's Nexus 6P is still running butter smooth. Might be a better topic for an article or a podcast.

I'm guessing Samsung isn't including Daydream support so they can promote their Gear VR. Hardware-wise it's definitely capable, but Google or Samsung would have told us by now if it was Daydream-ready.

I played with one briefly yesterday at Best Buy. I was impressed, and the Orchid Gray looks great in person. Hopefully it stays as fast 6 months later as on day 1. Which network are you using it on?

Would you mind taking some pics of it in different lights? I think a lot of us are interested in the Orchid Gray, but are worried it might be a bit too purple for our tastes.

Hopefully you can swipe up in full screen apps like you can with every other Android device with on-screen buttons.
