Anyone with a Nexus 7 or 10 going to give the new developer Ubuntu a shot?

Nope, not available, unless I import from the States. Have to make do with the cheap and often nasty.

You never stop learning.

It's actually just a group of us who meet at a school every Thursday night and split the cost of a model. We call it "class".

Weekend

 

[shelliewnj]

Weekend? It's still Friday here. Although with kids weekdays when they are in school and i am working are more relaxed than weekends lol

Hoping that Google announces a Nexus 10 at this year's I/O conference that is mobile data capable, so I can take advantage of TMo's $30 unlimited 3G / 5GB HSPA+. Probably a pipe dream, but fingers are crossed.

 

[shelliewnj]

That sounds too good to be true

 

[Liamo_210]

Well its Friday but I've finished work so weekend Really hope there is a data nexus 10 too

 

[D-U-R-X]

Soooo glad it's the weekend... it's been a long week!!

You can say that again. Now we van just relax and have a full English breakfast tomorrow or Sunday.

I've just had an email from Orange telling me I'm due an upgrade. Not sure if I should upgrade with them or stick it for a couple of months, save some cash up and buy a phone outright...

 

[Liamo_210]

What I usually do is upgrade to get the phone for free except for the nexus 4 that was an exception. Plus my wife gives me her free upgrade so I get 2 per year

 

[D-U-R-X]

I know... getting a free phone on upgrade is cheaper... the contract would be so much more though... if I bought a phone outright, I would be able to get a MUCH cheaper contract.

I was thinking of (maybe) getting the Nexus 4 (depending on what is out at the time I have the cash), as I could get unlimited texts/calls/interwebz for

 

[Liamo_210]

Well the nexus 4 will probably be the best unlocked phone for its price until the nexus 5 or possibly moto x phone. So you could have to wait a while but that plan does look tempting. All I can say is I would highly reccomend the nexus 4.

 

[D-U-R-X]

Yeah... probably gonna go for the Nexus 4.

Thinking of putting a bit o money aside for a 3-4 months and buying one. My contract is actually up in 1-2 months... then it's a SIM only deal that I'd go for... works out cheaper in the long run AND I get a Nexus, which is something I've been wanting for a while!

By that time, there should be a couple new phones out. You might be fortunate enough to see them drop the price on the N4.

 

[D-U-R-X]

I know... my plan is to see what's out at the time that my current contract runs out and make the decision then!

 

[Liamo_210]

At least with the nexuses you are guaranteed updates

 

[Unforgiven]

At least with the nexuses not on Verizon Wireless you are guaranteed updates

ftfy

 

[D-U-R-X]

I know... just a little worried that I'd be a little late getting that model. I know that new phones come out quite often and that you will always face the issue but am just not sure if I've left it a little too long to get that model...
