An Idea Carriers Should Use An Idea Carriers Should Use An Idea Carriers Should Use: So recently this idea came to me, when I was having a bad weather alert in my area concerning tornadoes, Our phones weren't putting out near enough Cellular Broadcasts, and we use mostly Samsung Galaxy devices in my household, but our city has disabled Sirens completely and we rely on the broadcasts now. I remembered back, when I had the Moto X 1st Gen, it would give me cellular broadcasts left and right, and 99% of the time through bad weather, and was LOUD!  Older people really need devices like this.  I though about this.. What if carriers customers could purchase the older flagship phones, at a huge discount even if they're refurbished? This would help the carrier make money, and not scare so many customers out of a contract. I know that these carriers have so much money and so many customers that it probably will not even matter because they are giant, but at least be like ...

LG G5 AND FRIENDS, AKA Modules! The First Actual Modular Phone? The LG G5 This... This is the LG G5, and it has modules, Extra battery, Camera, and more. Basically the LG G5 is the first look at a modular phone, but nothing we expected as of before. Honestly it looks like a nice Nexus 6P or Nexus 5P but with LG Accessories, and skinned software. This leaves room for way better camera modules from your favorite brands like Nikon, Canon, and Sony. Allthough a Sony camera is nothing new to Android devices, they have carried just about the best camera thus far. This leaves tons of more room for custom roms, and software, but will need to include all of the drivers, framework or flashables for the extras. My Thoughts The only thing I worry about now, is does this leave room for LG to release the device with parts that are subpar, just to get the consumer to spend more money on the modules? I've seen somewhere the modules will cost more than $150 depending on the branding, a...

Nintendo Wii. Is it Still Worth The Money in 2015/2016? Wow I feel so old now. Remember that thing, the um... Nintendo Revolution? I mean the evil thing that would stay on standby and watch you and your family late at night as you watched movies... Oh, uh.. I mean the Nintendo Wii.. You found yours packed away in your closet under piles of clothes didn't you? And you're wondering if it's still a console that is worth setting up.. OR You found one at the flea market for $30-40 and you're wondering "Should I buy this?" The answer is up to you ultimately, but I will help you find your answer. The Games First off, the First party games were AMAZING, with these titles especially: New Super Mario Bros. Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword   Super Smash Bros. Brawl Donkey Kong Country Returns And then various third party games made it worth while too, ev...

"Pepsi "P1"" Pepsi reportedly branding a smartphone   Pepsi reportedly branding a smartphone The Soda pop company is working closely with a Chinese manufacturer to make this smartphone known as the "P1". The Smartphone reportedly is packed with a 5.5inch Display that is in 1080P (Full HD), with 16GB of onboard storage, and a 13Megapixel camera.  Boy do I wish I knew more.. Hopefully the phone in the picture is nothing like the real thing, because a 13MP camera would go to waste with no flash, or focus, but I literally think it's just a S6 with a Pepsi skin (Shopped probably). The phone should also be sold for around $200 USD, but will only be available in China, as Pepsi does not wish to pursue a fully fledged mobile market. I rather feel like the Pepsi P1 will be like the Huawei P8, in the way of design, and specs, if not just design. All in all, way to go Pepsi, let's watch this phone kick off!

Galaxy S3, 3 Years Later. Is it still worth it? The Galaxy S3, 3 Years Later, Is it still worth it? That is the question here in September of 2015, and the answer is quite simple... Yes! Of course it still worth it, Not just saying this out of the love I have for the device, I'm saying this because it's still better than getting a pay as you go type phone, with lower specs! This phone has been to heck and back with me, and many of you know how much I appreciate this device, and how long I tried to prolong the life on it. Here, I have the i747 model for AT&T, and it is running CM12.1 currently, with that being said I used this device all last week, and still today. It still does what I need it to do, with taking amazing photos, unlike the quality you get from Go-Phones. There are definitely Go-Phones that are worth it, but in my opinion, not over the Galaxy S3. This model runs 2GB of RAM, has a dual core 1700Mhz processor, and is still beast. The inter...
