I'm still using a 3 year old HTC, no point upgrading for incremental improvements when it does everything I need. I'm waiting for real leaps forward like holographic projection, teleportation or some sort of replicator that can conjure a gourmet dinner or screwdriver out of thin air.

You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

Had we not swapped then it would have been me switching to a sim only contract instead of her. The phone was a HTC HD2 which I rooted and upgraded to Android. The community on XDA Devs for that phone is amazing in what they produce and I would have happily stuck with that phone for a few more years.Coffee's for closersComment

It's about a year since it was released, I believe, but the specs just about still hold up compared to newer phones.
Wrt, the Asus PhonePad, that looks like a decent bit of kit but when I was in the market for a tablet earlier in the year, I was considering an Asus Transformer but heard a few horror stories regarding their reliability so decided against it.
BTW, hello all.Originally posted by SimonMac View PostI have the Sensation XE and I rate it very highly
Down to £247 now if anyone else is interested.Comment

Originally posted by SimonMac View PostDidn't Motorola experiment with the Atrix so it was a phone and a tablet/netbook and it was a disaster?!
I have the external keyboard and mouse and it will work as a very slow webtop PC when plugged into a monitor or big tv, which essentially turns my big stupid TV into a smart TV.
I'm, considering buying the car dock for it, as the sat nav is quite good but useless without something to mount the phone in the windscreen. I know you can buy holders but the one I tried pushes too hard on the volume switch and turns the volume off. If you turn it round then you can't charge it. Sat nav batters its battery so charging is a must! The car dock automatically starts the san nav function also.
I never bothered with the laptop dock, mainly because I have a fast laptop. But I wouldn't say its a disaster. It gets a much better reception than the Iphone 4 my wife has and I use my Atrix for a hell of a lot more than she uses her Iphone for. The laptop dock is supposed to work with the new Atrix also, meaning that it should perform better as a laptop since the HW on the phone is better.
At the time when I bought it, the S2 was being released. Both phones are dual core and very similar in spec. The S2 has a better screen but I didn't like its size and it looked too thin. This thing is smaller and more sturdy looking. I'm pretty glad with the choice I made. There are times when it does things that annoy me, but generally its a reliable bit of kit. Battery life is pants though, but I tend to keep it on the charger at work and it's docked at night (charging)Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
