The new surface pro is nice though too. Digging the new ultra light form factors.

Cheapest no contract New phone is the E.http://www.motorola.com/us/consumers/shop-all-mobile-phones/Moto-E/moto-e.html

That's actually reasonably priced.

So I could buy 4 of those, take them in to ATT and sign up for their service?

Indeed they're unlocked phones so you could bring it to either ATT or Tmobile.

[///M5 2,833]

Just not Verizon as they don't have CDMA. I would verify the antenna for at&t before buying as I don't know them

Remember that you will not get LTE like you would with something like a Moto X

[MKader17 332]

I actually really like the new plans from ATT. I'm considering getting my Dad and I on our own plan, which will cost me about as much as prepaid.

I have found with prepaid ATT there has been multiple times where my wife has fast service (ATT postpaid) and I have not (Net10 with ATT Sim).

[///M5 2,833]

Running a Singapore SIM atm and see that as well, not as bad as in Malaysia but sometimes it rips other times UGH.

I am using a Nexus Google 4 though which was $200

I just recently upgraded from my Nexus 4, to the Nexus 5. I love the Nexus line.

 

The main differences between LTE and HSPA+ are speeds and penetration (heh). LTE has better penetration into homes but is one directional. HSPA+ is able to "put together" multiple signals into one usable one, but the penetration is pretty poor. Speed wise HSPA+ can go up to 168 Mb/s and LTE can do somewhere around 1 Gbit/s. HSPA+ is much more established vs LTE and can (usually) lead to better coverage.

Just switched back to DirecTV. Got the wireless mini Genies. Hoping this wasn't a mistake. DirecTV pissed me off 9 tears ago, but Dish Network has been having issues with my billing for months now. My card expired and I was on paperless billing with autopay. So my account goes past due and I was not aware until I got a nasty letter with a late fee. I called, paid, set up my new card and everything was fine... for 2 months. Another nasty letter, another phone call, another late fee, another time trying to set up my new card again because "they had no record of it". Last Monday was our 2 month run and guess what? If they are that inept, I cannot continue to do business with them. My savings is only ~$10 a month with Dish over DirecTV after our promotional price expires. But I am saving $20 a month for the first year, getting free NFL Sunday Ticket (essencially, at $240, it means I am gaining that extra $10 a month for 2 years), plus I got a referral discount of $10 for the first 10 months to add to the discount. So I have almost 5 years at the same price. However, if you consider I do not have DVR with Dish, the savings per month would be almost nil.

Yeah...but it's either that or just not have a data plan. With needing 4 phones I really don't want to spend much more than $100 per phone or the cost of entry is just not something I'm willing to expend.

I love calling directv. One of those love hate deals, but they always make things right with me. I will ask to make sure our conversation is recorded and provide me with the case number so when I call back they can refer to it.

Finally figured out this ass sucking sync system. It was a bad idea to use a pac loc because the sync will roll most all low freq off and never make to the speaker. I have been talking to a couple people who have figured this out and they are pushing us toward this http://www.audiocontrol.com/17612/748663/OEM-Integration/LC7i----Six-Channel-Line-Output-Converter-with-AccuBASS.html

 

They system sounds good, but I can tell it is missing something and not reaching it's full potential.

Don't forget to add in the $10 fee a month for genie. It ain't free.

I assume two are for kids/teens? If you don't have wifi at home 2 gigs per phone won't be enough. My sister averages 3 gigs on Facebook alone. And don't plan on streaming music like pandora on 2 gigs. My phone is grandfathered in for unlimited data and I average 50-60 gigs. This is maybe an hr a day web, 3 hrs a day streaming music, and one movie every 3 days or so.

[Quentin Jarrell 671]

Just got an email saying she's used 75% of her 2 gigs. And the month doesn't revolve until the 26th.

WTF do you do on your phone? I don't use 50gb of internet at home, no way no how.

We have wifi, so that'll be 75% of the usage. I won't use shit nor will my wife, and my son is only 10 so I don't think he'll use much either. So really most of the 10gb plan will be available for my 15yr old daughter to use

[Quentin Jarrell 671]

You need to stay at home more.

And I still have 19 days left to this period.

I don't lie.

After 64 long years, it looks like a machine has finally passed the Turing test for artificial intelligence. A supercomputer in a chat-based challenge fooled 33 percent of judges into thinking that it was Eugene Goostman, a fictional 13 year old boy; that's just above the test's 30 percent threshold. Developers Vladimir Veselov and Eugene Demchenko say that the key ingredients were both a plausible personality (a teen who thinks he knows more than he does) and a dialog system adept at handling more than direct questions.
