Nope.

If the Note 5 goes this direction I'm jumping ship. Already looking at a Nexus 6 and thinking about ditching my Note 4.

 

Nope and that is going to bite them in the ass. I just recently turned in my note 4 because of failures and got the iPhone 6plus. And the Samsung rep was there talking about the phone but didn't elude to the actual design.


Round 193837732 of Apple vs Samsung on who's copying who. They are both great devices but holy hell there needs to be more physically distinguishing features.

 

verizon? i may want to buy if your selliing.

 

I know that feeling I've had two note 4s since launch day, 2 note 3s, 3 note 2 an 1. They just don't last. My note 4 erased and corrupted the ad card twice losing everything I had on it. Never again.

 

I love this S6. People will hate on the no SD and no removable battery.

SD - for me.. don't care. Use a USB and be done. I never took my SD card out of my note 2..

Battery - I don't know about anyone else.. but I've never carried a spare battery around to swap in, or needed to remove the battery.

This phone is perfect for my needs. Build quality has always been my biggest gripe with Samsung.

I loved Motorola for their builds.. but the rest was shit.

I will admit I love the build quality of iphones. In fact, it really hit me when I was playing with Colby's work IPhone. They have always been leading that charge.

The fact that samsung took a page from their book is fine by me! Now it's the best of both worlds imo. Elegant build.. with Android OS.

I've had this phone for less than 24 hours, and I can honesty say it's the best phone I've ever had.. and pretty damn future proof.

The build and do factor feel outstanding. The UI is the most bare bones Android Samsung has ever produced. This is the first phone that I haven't felt the need to download new Launchers, messaging apps, keyboards, etc. It just works.. well.. and looks and feels great doing it.

I have 0 worries about the SD card and battery. I was at first before I bought it.. but after realistically thinking about it.. I didn't see a NEED to have those options.. especially.. in this day and age.

Anyways.. everyone will have their own opinions and desires in a phone.. for me.. this thing is perfect.

 

Yes Verizon. You'll be first in line. Also Tiff said she'll talk to you about the bike but she's already looking at 1000RR's to replace it.

My Notes have been super solid. I mean I did go through 8 Note 2's, however they were all heavily modified, over clocked, and I really put my phone through the paces on a hardware level.

Still my Note 4 has not impressed me at all other than the camera. Since there is still no fucking root for this phone on Verizon its really making me hate it. But this is all software issues that can be fixed once root is obtained.

The reason I'm looking at Nexus 6 is it's the same phone for the most part and can be rooted. I'll be loosing the stylus which I do use quite often.

 

i carry a spare battery. the life don tlast long on em when tw is here

forsure let me know

 

I always have a charger somewhere.


Dammit I love this phone. Lol

 

So do I. But lately my truck charger hasn't been reliable. Always unconnecting somehow

 

Shitty.

 

I just figured out that I can setup my fingerprint lock on my Note 4 and when my watch is connected to it it won't ask me for the fingerprint. Once the watch is out of range the finger print is required to unlock the phone.

Then I set it up so I can use my voice to unlock the phone. Screen off, sitting on my desk, "ok google, unlock".. Kinda neat feature. Working on the car, all greasy, "ok google, unlock."> Then "ok google, play next track" or whatever.

 

Awesome! Glad things are good with it.

Sweet!

 

Wait until USB Type C comes out on phones. It will be like what everyone did when Apple went to the Lightning cable. All new cables will have to be purchased. I have tons of micro usb cables.

 

Just got Lollipop on my phone. Biggest gripe, the calender changed somehow. The default appointment account has been switched from Google email account to Samsung. I can't figure out how to change it. So annoyed.

Colby, I need your help with this.

Edit: nevermind. Figured it out. Had to delete the current default account in order to get my Gmail account as the new default calander.

 

I noticed that as well. The wireless option wasn't worth the price in my eyes. But cool for sure though.

 

Yeah the wireless us expensive but if I were a pro photographer I'd be all over it

 

For sure!


So tonight I had to work on two CISCO Nexus 7ks that are two major switches. Upgrade them by replacing 5 fabric, 2 supervisors and added 2 new line cards in each. These bad boys pull so much power the engineering team in the building came out each time because they though multiple racks died and got an alert.

Love playing with things that cost more then a really nice house.

 

I wanna get my six appeal on

 

Lol. Do it.

 

Some of you guys might have seen this already, I found them hysterical.
