    you should jump back in its much better now .

    Anyway I love my original band but you can tell it wasn't meant to be a huge product for them , I think it sold well inspite of MS .
     
  4. Who's the guy making the Lumia presentation?
    He's awesome. I'm loving the Lumias already even though I have no intention to ever buy a non-x86 windows device, ever.

    EDIT: Meh, the fedora guy with the funny accent isn't half as good..

    I had a upgrade that was going away as of the first of oct so I ended up with a note 5 for $350 (64 gig) my note 3 was just getting bad.

    Also I doubt sprint will get these phones.

    But I could sell my note 5 for $500 or so and get one of these but i'm going to hold out for a rumored surface phone.

    continuum is looking pretty nice. the display dock is 3 usb , 1 hdmi and 1 display port

    pretty nice that u can use the phone as you use continuum

    Yeah, but I wanna see the stuff I missed, so I'll check in later when the full video is posted; hopefully. :)

    It was nifty and looked good. Very nice, clean lines. I liked it quite a bit. Of course, I'm on an iPhone so I wasn't going to buy anything other than an Apple Watch, but it was a nifty gadget. It's good MS is making these things and improving looks and functionality and stuff. Competition in the marketplace is good. I hope the new one sells a lot.

    How long does the band battery typically last? The short battery life is my one turn off with these wearables.

  15. I could swear I saw a multi-chip module in the CGI presentation, meaning this might really be a GT4e device.

  19. There it is, it's a MCM!

    Don't count on it. There's a lot more tech in it plus a very high-end Intel chipset.

    The 1TB + 16GB + GT3e model is probably well over $2000, probably over $2500.
