No problem man. Let me know which one you choose!
So, both phones arrived but I don't have access to them until I return home. My brother told me he liked the G3's design better (I don't know if he is angling to get the Z2 though). So I will have to wait. He took some pictures with both. The Z2 definitely was an improved to the Z1 (although both had the same camera resolution). So it seems this problem was ironed out.

I also want to buy a Samsung Note 3. Do I, or should I wait for Note 4? The Note 3 is cheap where I am at so I can get that but the Note 4 has been announced.

Well, the Note 4's specs got announced recently and it seems a lot stronger than the 3, so if you want to wait, you'd get a better package. But if the Note 3 is cheap enough, it wouldn't be bad to have. Again, if you don't care for specs (Forgive me for using the specs as a deal maker, after the 3GS let me down this got ingrained into my skull), I'd just nab the Note 3 since it's cheaper.

is the note 4 going to be another inch wider or...? /shot

As much as I'm drooling over it, I'm personally not much of an Android fan anymore as I was before. Maybe my mind is going coo-koo for Apple now. But the other day when I was texting Shining Armour about Windows phone, I wouldn't mind giving it a try. Windows Phone is the only set of phones that I've yet to dabble on, and I haven't done so because I'm not impressed with the amount of apps. But I've heard good reviews on the latest Lumia, and Cortana...so that's something to think about at least.

Windows Phone would be very excellent if app developers woke up and started developing for it. Lack of apps is pretty much the only thing that's preventing Windows Phone from lifting off the ground like iOS and Android if you ask me.

Speaking of Windows Phones, I wonder how amazing the M8 with Windows is going to be. And Mathew, no there is no announcement, but all the specs are mostly confirmed, various shots of the phone have come out, and its 3 gigs, not 4. The Z2 has only 2.

This says the Z2 has 3 GB RAM though. Are they mistaken?

Anyone heard about the Huawei phones? I think they are Chinese, and the Honor 6 looks quite amazing in terms of specs and general look. They are going to be released world wide soon.

I made the mistake on the specs, so yeah its basically the same. Sucks that Sony is trying to jip the loyalists, cause that's the only way to justify this move. The Z3 compact on the other hand now that's an upgrade. 4.5 screen from the Z1Cs 4.3 and an extra gig of ram. As for Huawei, I personally love the brand. Bit underpowered for their asking prices, but the phone design is excellent, and the emotion UI is phenonemal. Having an iOS style interface on android is a dream.

Maybe I've been looking at the wrong EmotionUI, but its more Android than iOS. I could see what your pointing at when you say iOS though, Miui 6 still takes the cake.

Speaking of new and rumoured phone releases, why is no one talking about Motorola? Moto X+1, Moto G2, Moto S, Moto X-Play, Droid Turbo, then the 360 and the headset. So glad I get to experience the event first hand.

Honestly since buying the Moto X specs hardly make a dent to me anymore, its the software that attracts me now. Well specs matter if their absolute crap, but I don't care for the 3/4 gigs RAM Quad HD 5Million QHZ.

Well, if you see no one talking about Motorola, then why not start a thread about Motorola then? :P

Closed-source Android? I've never heard of that at all..

I haven't tried Miui yet. I probably should one of these days.

On an unrelated topic, Zach, I was kinda bored so I was thinking of writing up a small guide to ricing/customizing iOS, Windows and Android for our tech board. What say you?

Its the lack of an app drawer which is why I said iOS, but yeah its still mostly android. Otherwise, the X+1 is looking cool, that dual LED setup around the camera instead of a separate(and honstely ugly) led hole is a pretty cool innovate. The phone is literally built for style, and I approve it greatly:
Tell me that honestly doesn't look better then the normal camera setup.

I kinda of agree that the camera design is little cool, though a LED hole dosen't have to be ugly. Take the OG Moto X, now that one was built by a designer. The X+1 seems like Motorola knew people didn't like the choice they went with, so are instead going for a little bit more specs/typical design, like how there is now a lot of stuff on front, and that weird dimple.

Huh? The moto X has a standard led on the back, just under instead of to the left. But yeah the X+1 is a definite improvement, especially the dual speakers. Its one thing I thank HTC for everyday.

I know it does, have it right next to me. I just find that the X looked better, the big ring is kinda off-putting, not that bad though. Dual-speakers is good, Motorola has been pretty good with speakers even if just Mono, usually beats out the competition. Well except the HTC One M7/One M8

Okay, but still I don't see how its something a designer made, when its the standard. And yeah, even with Mono the X is excellent. One thing that definitely sucks with Sony is that outside of a couple of efforts their loudspeakers just aren't the same with what we got way back when Walkman was still a thing. The E1 has some great ones, but the budget specs and budget build is just so off putting.
I freaking want that. I can't wait for them to come to Canada if they do! It'd be cheaper and better than an alcatel, although the alcatel OneTouch Idol X has a better camera. I'm actually torn now :/
Why wouldn't you go for the X+, which is the same price??

Because it's not available in Canada.
That sucks. The Idol X does have a better build, but the X+ at least has some more power to it.

You need to contact Nintendo Customer Care to do that for you. Select "forgot Parental Control PIN" when prompted to enter the PIN, and write down the inquiry number. You will need it when you contact Customer Care.

Dude, good college wi-fi is like hit or miss. One of my friends has godlike wi-fi at his dorms at ASU, but then one of my friends who goes to I think one of the community colleges does nothing but complain about the net. It sounds like one of those things where you just go wired if you can and call it a day.

Yeah. It's annoying. The wifi in my building is bad, but when I go to my friends dorm building (which is literally right next door) it works great. Bleh :/

The wifi at my school just depends on how far away one is from the access point. :P
