Doing some package deployments.
I usually just ship mine, not send them to war.

@thecreativeone91 What is that phone that is the one where everything is a module? I don't think it is out on the market yet... '
I wouldn't mind triyng the Futurefone from IdealFuture (http://www.idealfuture.com) one of these days... maybe after my Note 4 dies.
Nope, it's coming in February, review units are already out. It's not modular though.
I don't think the FutureFone is viable though, to many engineer nightmares to overcome with that ambitious idea.

@thecreativeone91 What was that one coming in February called?

I think it is a very ambitious idea! That's part of the reason I like it. I do think you are right though, there's a lot of ways it could go very, very, even spectacularly badly, lol.
I'd still like to get my hands on the kit for a day or two even if it is just to get the Good, the Bad, and the Broken.

@dafyre An Update to the Zen Phone 2 I think is what is is. It uses Intel Atom CPUs with Android which is odd.
-
Apparently the ZenPhone 2 can already be ordered with two different CPU choices now.

Phonebloks is the one I was thinking of... (https://phonebloks.com/en).

Really cool pocket sized drone:

I've managed to live with my Galaxy S4 since July 2013. Frankly I really started to hate the phone at the 9 month mark, though to be fair, I think perhaps my problems where caused by my recharging habits - that first summer was pretty brutal on my phone, full to dead in 6 or less hours, recharge and do it again for about 2 months straight.
I picked up a Lumia 635 last Dec 2014 and been using that as my primary phone since then. While it's a bit under powered and the camera totally sucks, overall I'm pretty happy with it. I really want to get a 640 XL - more power, better camera - BIGGER...

Everything is that way. If you want to use the iPad for real data entry you need to buy a keyboard.
Yeah but the iPad isn't marketed as being for that. It's a tablet and just a tablet. To use it the way it is primarily intended, marketed and spoken about all you need is the iPad and a normal case. I have many iPads and don't use keyboards or any add ons. The SP is all about attempting to be a laptop which to make it even a poor laptop requires buying extra stuff.
You're right there - but I think the marking is changing. All I ever hear these days is.. when can I use an iPad to chart? When can I carry around only my iPad, etc, etc...

@Dashrender Looking at phones today as well. I really like the Asus ZenFone2 with two exceptions.
- Phone. No. F.
- Why no vanilla android?
I'd buy it right this second if I didn't have to root it and have all that hassle.

For a flagship phone, I'm really torn on what I want. I like the Galaxy S6 or the Note 4... (the Edge is just stupid!) but then - I really like my Windows phone too - problem.. I really want my Starbucks app back - I know it's lame but I do.. and I'll miss Google maps and Google Drive, etc.. Here maps is ehh at best!

You may want to look at the LG G3 (is the G4 out?) I replaced my Note 2 with it. I heard the Note 4 is a huge step but I'm really liking the G3. I've been getting crazy good battery life with it recently too.

Sammy's stuff is really nice and all but I can get that ZenPhone for $300USD straight up no contract, which gets me a 15% discount on my plan.
$80mth x 24mths x 0.15 = $288.....
Waaiiiiiiiiiit that's not a great deal at all........ glad I did the math now.
-
@Dashrender If you are using Windows Phone 8/8.1, check and see if Waze is available (I think it is)... I've used that for a while. It's really cool.
I got the Note 4 and love it . I take notes with it, as well as draw (well doodle... I love to doodle, lol). It is generally fast -- even though I keep it on PowerSave mode all the time (habbit from my note 3, lol).

@dafyre If you can get Verizon, you don't have to fork out the $$ for the phone up front... You can pay for it over a couple of years and then upgrade again at 18 months if you want.

It was so dangerous for me to use and worked so poorly that I removed it from my phone. It felt like it was going to be good but once I used it for a bit I realized that it was dangerous and poor. I took it off my phone completely to keep my wife from opening it and making me upset. I found it mostly unusable, the interface was just terrible.

Or TMobile and the savings in the service makes the phone more than free by comparison.

What? The S6 is like $699 or something.. with no contract - and of course no savings on your plan either..
