Wired, Engadget and Anandtech had high praise for it. The Verge was harsher but gave it 7/10. Giz ranked it one of the worst tech devices I have ever seen them review. This review seems like an outlier.

Its easy to see that you are missing the point of this device. It is not about specs or performance or price for that matter. For more than double the price you will be able to put your phone in your pocket and get data on your giant nonphone phone. But really itt is about intangible things. How does it feel in…

The "on the go" comparison is tough, since you're adding an additional $130 to the price, on top of the existing $130 differential. So for more than double the price, the ipad mini wins. Just get a bigger tablet; the universe of people looking for LTE in a giant non-phone phone has to be all of a dozen people.

That is a very roundabout way of saying "not well."

I can't wait to get my hands on one, elevate it above my head to a cheering throng, and announce to the world that I am the champion of buying two nearly identical consumer products twice in the same year. I am the champion of giving you my money! Adore me!

I see your concern trolling and I'm impressed you can publish it in article form.

I've been using blackberries since circa 1999/2000 when it looked like this. It is really hard to do work without a keyboard, but the blackberry is functionally useless for reviewing documents. It is an outstanding email device with terrific battery life but single use devices are impractical.

Obviously based on the comments to this article people can. Not well, but the effort is adorable.

Pro will have the i5 though. Wouldn't you expect it to cost more than an i3 laptop?

Grand Seiko's mechanical and spring-drive movements are pretty impressive and more accurate than a lot of the Swiss movements, although I don't think they sell them in the US since it is hard to get traction on a $5k+ Japanese watch. I have an old King Seiko day-date hi-beat chronometer from the 70s that keeps…

It reminds me of the WWII era Elgin A-11 military watches with a slightly sharper font.

What's the point of streaming music to a TV? Do people use the speakers in a TV to listen to things?

Harry Ellis was one of the great characters in cinema history.

I think their USB ports in the mi424wr gigE router actually work and the router shows up on my network as being a storage device with nothing stored on it (I think storage is done with USB). That said, I haven't used them since my printer is wireless and stored in a cupboard far from the router and I'm already…

ou have to rent the Fios modem/router or buy the same thing at a super high premium and it is generally a piece of junk. Their speeds are amazing, I have 150/65 and their gigabit router but they don't have 5ghz in their equipment so I have to use a second router to avoid conflicts with my baby monitor so I am renting…

People don't seem to like this. This looks useful to me. I don't like having to tap out channel buttons and don't have them memorized, so looking down and choosing ESPN or AMC would be nice for TV. That being said, the DVR buttons on the top are a terrible idea and they are not bunched with a skip button, so I…

The reference to a front wheel drive partnership concerns me. The G will still be a rear wheel drive, right? I know nobody on Jalopnik likes the G series much, but its a fun car to drive. If they took away rear wheel there would really be no point to it.

So you're telling me a robber would have in depth information regarding the layout of my 2 bedroom apartment? It could save them over almost 4 seconds if they ever decided to break in and rob me.

I like my first gen version enough, I even use it to play SACDs, but the technology is way out of date and load times are way to slow so I mostly game with a computer now.
