Ditto - not to mention, it was WAY easier to get music, photos, etc. on and off the device - use it just like a USB device, drag and drop - and the telephone functionality itself was vastly superior in terms to iPhoneof sound quality and connectivity.

Ok , you need to go deep for this .

I’m set for the day! Thank you.

You’re in luck, as we covered that very topic last November:

Run this with an article about why dialogue is mixed too quiet and all other things are mixed too loud and I’m set for the day.

You completely failed the premise of the headline. You told us that kids in nice clothes are being banned... But not WHY!
