Demographics are what they are. People have been moving South since the invention of air conditioning made the South comfortable in August. NWA's passenger base was moving away from their network ... nothing against NWA, but people simply moved away.



With Global Warming and juniority, we may move North. It is 73 in Atlanta right now. I can remember being excited to play football one Thanksgiving because the temperature made it up to 50. Our temperatures are like Miami's when I was a kid. We are also starting to see different threats from more aggressive types of Termites and other pests, which have not made it into the State in years past.

Guess I should plant some bougainvillea.

Feeling a bit more fringe today, Bar? :rolleyes: Yikes.... This is up there with some of your more paranoid and out there posts!


(see, NERD, it's possible to disagree with someone on the internet without turning yourself inside out and blowing a fuse)

A friend of my wife has one and hates it. Says it repeatedly does not understand her voice commands to the point that that feature is completely useless. Apparently the apps crash or bog down too much as well. She may just have a lemon, but it's hard to prove and she doesn't have much of an alternative other than paying out the wazoo for a different phone. YMMV

The problem is Samsung's voice system. When the phone first came out, it still had Android 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich). Samsung put their own voice response system on the phone since ICS didn't have Google's voice system (Google Now). Now that the phone has Android 4.1.x (Jelly Bean), the voice recognition should be MUCH improved. Google Now is extremely responsive and understands speech wonderfully. I haven't had any problems with apps crashing, but I'm also running pure Android and not Samsung's version of Android.

Microsoft Outlook = ... not sure ... GMail integration is perfect across multiple platforms to keep everything linked and snyc'd. With Android you are probably going to want to port over to Google's product, it is just so much better ....
Commuting Apps = Great! Faster, easier
Voice Command = Sort of Broken :( ... was great ... now Siri like

The GIII is a data hungry animal (as is the new iPhone 5). Suggest a solid, fast, network like AT&T or Verizon. Our family have been Sprint Customers forever and Sprint hosed their network up, then began chasing the iPhone crowd which clogged their EVDO speeds down. I think we get a 23% discount on AT&T. Been thinking about trying them.

Now GO GET YOUR PHONE !!!!!

If we shrink another 4-5% in the next 4 years that should cover those losses.
