I just got an serious update a few weeks ago... the new search is just ever so much more "pleasant" to have do my beck and call. Really, it is super de-duper. My only thing now, is my contract is up in a few weeks. I'm considering other options... iPhone? Perhaps. Windows Phone? not likely. Android Phones galore? Probably one of them. -- greg@gregfolkert.net "No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible." --Stanislaw Jerzy Lec

Post #391,432 by folkert 7/3/14 2:06:48 PM Reply	Nope. Does not give me any problem of the least. Low Res? 720 x 1280 pixels seems pretty damned good resolution to me. It is effectively Retina at "natural viewing distance" now anything at 10", sure resolution then matters. But at 20" or more, who gives a flying rip, you can't see the damned pixels anyway. I guess I'm like you with computers... I use it, it works, sure a few annoyances... but in general, no bid deal. -- greg@gregfolkert.net "No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible." --Stanislaw Jerzy Lec

Post #391,437 by folkert 7/3/14 2:18:30 PM Reply	Samsung Galaxy Nexus... Sorry. I always confuse the fact the Samsung Galaxy Nexus is considered "One" and not the Nexus One... sorry for the confusion. -- greg@gregfolkert.net "No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible." --Stanislaw Jerzy Lec

Post #391,435 by drook 7/3/14 2:13:07 PM Reply	My Galaxy S3 is the first smartphone I've owned The screen still looks as good as anyone else's phone I've held it up next to. No, I haven't compared it to a Retina. I know people have said this after every major advance in TV technology, but looking at my phone I really wonder how much better it could get. Other than it sucks in bright sunlight. -- Drew

Post #391,443 by pwhysall 7/3/14 3:11:48 PM Reply	My 1020 is the least worst in bright light.
Post #391,449 by static 7/3/14 5:12:24 PM Reply	Really? My Sony e-ink reader looks fabulous in bright sunlight. Not tried a Kindle Paperwhite. Colour e-ink has been "just around the corner" for years. I don't remember what they said the most recent hurdles where. Wade. Just Add Story http://justaddstory.wordpress.com/
Post #391,451 by drook 7/3/14 7:10:11 PM Reply	No, you're right Kindles were fine in bright light, but they were never as pretty to read as a real book or a color tablet (indoors). When they get color e-ink on a paperwhite, that will be spectacular. -- Drew
