    Long time WP user, convert?

    OP, only you can know if you should switch. I considered switching from WP a couple months ago, and investigated all the new Android and iPhone options. Ultimately, I decided to wait and see what comes up when WP rolls out Windows 10 before I decide on a new phone. However, that doesn't mean...

    Banned from the verge

    In my opinion, The Verge lets a lot of people get away with systematic trolling and there is a lot of swearing and personal attacks. I would say the ban threshold is much higher there than it is in Mobile Nations, which makes MN a superior overall experience. Although there are certainly...

    Nexus 9 verses NVIDIA SHIELD Tablet or iPad

    I thought you were getting the Kyocera Brigadier. :D

    Moto G as Second Phone for Windows Phone User

    It looks like the AT&T version has 4G LTE which is pretty nice at that price point.

    Moto G as Second Phone for Windows Phone User

    I use Windows Phone as my daily driver and was considering the new iPhone, the LG G3 or the Note 4 since it doesn't look like much is coming with Windows until Windows 10. I'm not really blown away by any of them, so I thought I might look at activating a new line on AT&T and getting a Moto G...

    In Times Like These, What Company Can You Trust?

    I have a lot of ****'s Picks backed up on OneDrive, but fortunately it is the type of file that won't get deleted: Grateful Dead discography - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Others may have problems with similar-sounding files.... ;)

    Moto X - How well do you think it's selling?

    I hope you winked at the woman in the daylight! :D This reminds me of some of the problems with Windows Phone. No one even knows about it because all you see in ads, carrier stores and big boxes (in the US, anyway) is iPhone, Samsung and a little bit of LG. I had totally written off the Moto...

    In Times Like These, What Company Can You Trust?

    If you listen to Edward Snowden, he says to avoid Dropbox, Facebook and Google, for starters. I use all three, but in a very limited use. I use OneDrive and Outlook the most, but I wouldn't expect much more, if any, in terms of privacy from Microsoft. Snowden says to use SpiderOak.

    Droid Turbo will have same size 5.2" screen as Moto X 2014 with MUCH better specs...

    Re: I just bought a Moto X 2014 and I'm already thinking I'll return it for the Droid Turbo :( I think with a lot of good phones out there that have a sound overall experience, the camera becomes a difference-maker. I would love to consider the Moto X, but there are so many other phones with...

    FYI: Some Asurion Claims Must be Made within 60 Days

    Hard to imagine why OP doesn't contact Asurion to see what they can do to help. They are obviously prepared to provide other options or they wouldn't take the time to post here. At a minimum, the thread title should be changed because it's clear at this point that no one got screwed.

    Would would the 5.5 iPhone need for you to leave the note line?

    Well, it's not bias but I could certainly clarify that it's based on my personal observations. Perhaps iPhone 6 Plus users might select a smaller case since the phone is already much bigger than they are used to, but on the flip side, the Plus phones are very valuable and people might take...

    Would would the 5.5 iPhone need for you to leave the note line?

    I don't think it is hideously big, but most iPhone ugraders will put a big Otterbox on it and then there will certainly be some buyer's remorse because it will be so much bigger than what they are used to. The jump from 3.5-4" to 5.5" + bezel + case is pretty dramatic.

    Is Big Really Better?

    I don't think it is only an eyesight issue. You can have great eyesight and still be uncomfortable with the scuba goggle experience of using a small screen.

    What Are Your Favorite Devices that Have Been Announced This Month

    I don't think it's a bad phone by any means. It actually wasn't initially on my radar screen since I expected it to be too small. It does seem to have a pretty powerful following, but it seems disappointing in that it could have been the clear front-runner if they had bolstered those areas I...
