Refurb ipad 3's are $379 from apple direct. They have siri and the higher res displays.

 

You could also get one locally for a cheaper price. If they want more than $380 point them to the apple site, they'll come down ;)

I've been considering that, but the high-res display is:

A: Unneeded- I have really good vision.

B: Use to much resources. The iPad 3 has the A5X, the same processor as the iPad 2, just optimized for the power hungry display. This leads to lag and inability to play power-demanding games.

 

Also, the 3rd generation iPad is about half a pound heavier then the second generation. Not that it matters, just saying.

LTE is useless for me, I would prefer tethering my phone (legally of course) when I need it.

So the iPad 2 is looking like my best bet. Add a keyboard case, and hopefully iOS 5.1.1, and I'll have a beast of a productivity machine!

All I want for Christmas is for people to slap themselves when they talk nonsense about buying into the fruit cult. I have saved two people this season some money and frustration so far.

 

Second then I want is the tower a few miles away with panels and RRUs to fire up so I can put the purple on the map!

Ive slapped myself a few times for buying an ipad 2 when they came out. I lust after the galaxy tab 2.0 every time i see it. Merry Christmas.

 

All I want for Christmas is a prosperous new year of employment. Too much talk at my job of downsizing.

I own a fruit computer, so you can't talk me out of buying more Apple products. :P

Without starting a flame war here, I am very happy with the performance of my third-gen LTE iPad. However I have no desire to purchase another Apple product in the near future. My used top of the line last gen 27" iMac was enough :)

 

Now if I'm wishing...a 35 cent increase in Sprint's stock price, an NV LTE site near where I'll be in FL over the holiday, or a Nexus 4 would all be cool :)

You enjoy Android, I enjoy Apple. Simple.

That's how I have to approach it. Half of my family are fans of Apple, while the other half, myself included, are Android/PC fans.

 

What I'd like for Christmas is confirmation of sites in progress in the Oregon/SW Washington market. Haven't seen anything at my local towers, so that will probably have to wait until after Christmas. Oh well... :fingers:

Just loaded Mini VMac on my tablet and am running System 7.5.5 on it and playing The Hobbit and Glider. Come at me, bro.

System 7.5.5? I miss that OS. Mac OS 8 was great too, but nothing compares to the stability of the UNIX infrastructure behind OS X. Now I want to go back to Pahrump and boot up my Quadra 840AV.

Glider?! :tu: I loved that game. Plus I loved a game called Castles: Siege and Conquest. I still play it to this day on my Orange Clamshell iBook.

IMHO, System 7 was the pinnacle of Mac OS. Apple apparently thought so too, for the longest time, as 8 and 9 were very much so just reskins of 7 with a few bugfixes.

 

And hell yeah Glider! Great game. It's only too bad that Mini VMac emulates the Mac II at best, and not something like the Quadra or Performa; there are a few things that won't start, and a few that run... funny.

 

I still have a Blueberry iMac running System 9, and I boot up things like Quake 3 on it. Classic rocked. Never was a fan of OS X...

Fan of freedom to do what I want with the device I paid for. I could care less what it is called or what it has a picture of on it.

I agree with that completely, but don't believe it's worth losing the simplicity and reliability of iOS.

That's what I want for Christmas- a simple and reliable mobile OS that allows you to do whatever you want. Oh and that iPad.

Oh, and a new flag out front.

 

I was wanting to buy an AKM (I'm cheap) but with the debates going on they're probably in short supply.

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
