Oh goodness, that made me feel a little nostalgic! xD Looks like a combination of a RAZR and a Blackberry Pearl Flip. I still have my suuuuper old RAZR phone, still in working condition, haven't bothered recycling it.

Oh, and these phones are ridiculously expensive for the novelty factor.

At least there's nothing stopping you from using a smartphone as a phone, but wouldn't it be a waste of money if it's not a low-end phone?

Yep, a wast of money. Which is quite frankly why I'm excited for my new phone. Paycheck still hasn't come in for me to buy it yet, but when it does...

I'm pretty happy with my phone right now with CM11 and 4.4.2. It's running quite smoothly and KitKat runs so well omg.

Aeroblast December 15th, 2013 11:26 AM

Meanwhile I'm still waiting for 4.3 on AT&T Galaxy note 2.

Tsutarja December 15th, 2013 2:19 PM

There are some things I will miss about 4.3 on my Nexus 7.. a few of my apps stopped working properly after the KitKat upgrade, and they still have yet to update :(

I'm sure CM has one unofficially for that if they have an official one for the Verizon Note II. Nothing official yet but they have 4.3 in nightly format -- http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=t0lteatt

Yeah, it was just started a month ago. It's so smooth though.

Tsutarja December 15th, 2013 6:04 PM

There are so many non-stock Android ROMs out there I'm not sure what I should try out when I do lose the warranty on my tablet.

Cordelia December 15th, 2013 6:10 PM

I'm running Omni on my N7 2013 - http://www.omnirom.org - it's new but soon it'll be sexy.

Legendary Silke December 15th, 2013 9:38 PM

I'm always wary about custom firmware as I prefer everything in a device working as it should and consistently (unless the stock firmware is bonkers).

Mark Kamill December 15th, 2013 11:24 PM

Eh, the farthest I'd go with decking out android would be with a launcher, and that's it. Custom firmware's is something I'd do only when I know the ins and outs of android.

Legendary Silke December 16th, 2013 12:19 AM

I just got the replacement battery for my laptop. Looks like I'll be charging it overnight...

Although it may not seem like it, there are actually some benefits with rooting on Android, and that's mainly customization. If I were to root my tablet, I could enable the tablet UI on my Nexus 7, which is something Google doesn't patch in the Nexus 7, but rather only the phablet UI.

SS01 December 16th, 2013 2:47 PM

Zach, if I were you I'd just do what you want with the tablet. In the very unlikely event that you some how **** it up, flashing stock and restoring the bootloader lock will eliminate any evidence you were ever rooted.

Cordelia December 16th, 2013 2:53 PM

He did it before and his mom went bananas. Also, Zach, tablet ui has been completely eliminated in 4.4's code. Anyway, Zach, don't tell your mom. Restoring it is so easy that it'd take you ten minutes. Nexus devices are made to be toyed with.

Mark Kamill December 16th, 2013 3:30 PM

Wait, what's the difference between tablet and phablet? Is it the position of the main keys from the center to the left?

Fairy Tale~ December 16th, 2013 3:44 PM

Hmmm i`ll give this a try who has built a desktop? my brother builds em a lot im building

A phablet is a phone/tablet hybrid, like the Samsung Galaxy Note I, II, and III. Phablet mode is when you have the nav bar on the bottom at the status bar on the top. This has become standard in all Google tablets. Tablet mode is when the nav bar and status bar are unified and has been discontinued.

I have -- just be sure everything is compatible and be sure when you're seating the CPU on the motherboard to use a good amount of thermal paste on the CPU. You don't want to misapply that. I applied mine years ago and it's still solid.

Phablet is essentially the phone UI on a tablet.. except that you have the tablet notification bars instead of the single phone UI bar, but the notification bar is small and at the top like a phone.

yes i do know that

Mark Kamill December 16th, 2013 4:10 PM

Okay gotcha. And yeah, assembling a PC is super easy. You just need to know how to get what into where, and your golden.

Fairy Tale~ December 16th, 2013 4:34 PM

quiz
the best brand?
best motherboard
best cpu?

Mark Kamill December 16th, 2013 4:39 PM

It all depends on what you want. Mid range you'd go for an i5, high end an i5. After that, the GPU, motherboard, casing, cooling system, ram, and case are dependent on what you need the PC for.

Tsutarja December 16th, 2013 5:02 PM

Building a PC is all about how you want your computer to run, and not just something that someone tells you to build.. what are you trying to build? Are you building a PC for gaming? Perhaps excessive video production? You're gonna need different pieces of hardware for whatever your custom PC's purpose is.

Fairy Tale~ December 16th, 2013 5:14 PM

No no no no no i KNOW what i want i was testing him too see his skill at building!
