    Samsung G9+ vs LG 7 vs LG V30

    I just order a V35 on Project Fi. I'm upgrading from an LG G4 which I have had for nearly three and a half years and liked a lot. I thought I was going to upgrade to a Pixel 3 ($799). Affording it wasn't a problem but it seemed like throwing money away. The hardware certainly doesn't justify...

    $100 for 64gb of storage is robbery

    Affording the Pixel 3 isn't a problem. I'm just not into spending at least $250 more than I need to unless there are compelling reasons. I could probably live with the 64GB. I agree with the point made by a poster above that if they actually charged in line with the real costs of a 64GB...

    $100 for 64gb of storage is robbery

    $100 for 64gb of storage is robbery

    LG G4 Stuck on boot, how can I get it out of it?

    Yes, you may be right. In the overall scheme of things another $36 a year is maybe a small cost against the potential for problems. I'm less convinced by the accidental damage warranty--maybe worth it for some people who are accident-prone. My issues with Verizon have more to do with the...

    LG G4 Stuck on boot, how can I get it out of it?

    Mine bricked this morning. I was reading something on the phone and the LG Logo screen appeared. I had to remove the battery to get it to shut down. Tried reboot, then safe mode and then factory reset --nothing worked. The person at the Verizon store was unhelpful. I had to phone Verizon. They...

    Samsung KNOX

    Yes, end-users may not see much in it initially but this is big deal for companies and federal agencies. BYOD has been a security nightmare for IT and CISOs.

    Samsung KNOX

    Doesn't appear to be much discussed here--maybe I missed it--but Samsung seems to be going after the enterprise and government markets in a big way and the S4 seems to be the first device that will run KNOX and have support for GD Protected.
