interrupt we've 85 viewers I just saw a counter at the top of the screen and that's pretty cool and now it's 87 can't believe people are still watching yeah we can probably reiterated this is like it is only the second time we've done at official pocket that sanctioned hangout and also this is absolutely my first time doing a hangout of any sort so I can't figure out a lot of the stuff but I did just figure out the group chat so that's fun so if you're not actually talking right now and you want to talk in the group chat I'm like there and if anyone has any pointers for how to figure this out Benjamin are you a a veteran of hangouts or are you also a novice like us oh I've been trying to make hangouts more of a regular thing because we're doing it for my work too we use Google on or trying to use it further you know work work type and also using it for personal thing that's so nice so seamless and so easy you could just upload things yeah I was gonna say well because we don't know what we're doing we've got some malfunctions going on here why not what kind of phone yet veteran um why got a nexus 4 nice nice don't they got there are some bars there's my nexus 4 right there the nexus 7 to go along with it ah and then you gotta have the nexus 10 going with it right oh hey here and then I'm talking to you on a Chromebook whoa you you see cotton and looking at the google shirt too you found your match Joe I've got a similar arrangement going on here except I've got the the HP TouchPad in addition to the to the to the pre three and and an HP beer as well so I feel you I have the family together as well you just keep those in your pockets at all times or did you bring them into the chamber just for the sake of it I have I had pouches uh built into my thigh just Michael's like here's every product that has ever on webos oh it's such a mess in here um so how are you do you like the Nexus 10 or the nexus 7 better um you know it's that's really hard the resolution on the 10 is just you can't beat it's amazing crazy high it's so good that is beautiful and it's light it's really nice to hold the thing about the Nexus 7 is just being a little bit smaller it seems to be a little bit faster because I am getting a little bit of the the lag and reboots on the Nexus 10 that some people are getting too so hopefully this new update of four point two point two when never comes out I'll hopefully fix some of that at lag eNOS and reboots with the nexus 10 so there are hoping for I didn't I didn't know about those did I Joe are you having the same issues I've been running cyanogenmod 10.1 on both the seven and and the 10 I don't have any reboot problems but I have heard of that problems that people are having with the stock roms and I feel for you that's that's not cool yeah that is a bummer I don't know if it did that yeah I I normally have run room and you've got money rooted stuff that I used to run like in her neck internet there we go yeah oh you know we're back awesome okay I was just mentioning that I have run rooted since I ran a evo 4g back in the day so I always used to run custom roms and all that stuff but a lot of this I've gradually gone towards a a stock experience because it seems like Android and Google have moved towards including some of those features in the stock like like notification bars like lock screen features like so a lot of that stuff I've really I used to run crazy crazy roms with inserts and all the theming and all that stuff but it seems like it's made a point to where I don't even run anything but stock now except stock rooted just to deal with like setcpu and use defender you know things like that there are so many things that that started off in like cyanogenmod community like lock screen widgets or even just third party you know which with widget locker and quick toggles in the notification shade and I wonder if if Google looks at this stuff from the third party community and does it or if they were going to do it anyway right my screenshots just being able to take a screenshot by power down or I'm down in power I know that's longer to say that yeah before I mean you had to have root you had to have special side-loaded apks you had to have all these crazy crap going on to just you know make it work so it's pretty nice ever I really like the direction they're going and obviously you can see I'm a fan and sure are um well let's uh let's talk to some other people to get other people chances good talk I don't like to kindly as guys I've i'm not sure i'm a noob at this but i've read that there's a maximum number of 10 people who can be parked at the same time so I'd like those who talk to us to exit this chat so other people can join and we can talk to more you'll see ourselves in the recording and thank you very much for joining so far Ahmed and Benjamin well thank you guys I appreciate all your your work and keep up the good work and I enjoy watching all your videos and updates thanks a lot for hanging with us better hopefully we'll see you later oh yeah hopefully we'll see you next week yeah and we still continue from left to right I have next up Henry lavender that's a great name well hi I let mr. lavender hello Oh minimum do you um I'm sure you've gotten this before but do you like the scent of lavender it is it is a nice yes we've got a I'm detecting a an accent on your dialect there were you calling us from today I'm calling you from South Wales uh-oh hope so his British which means he's from Europe and maybe I could talk to him with that fake British accent you're making your American accent tony is probably the best way how can I say Jennifer you gotta bust out your text with accent at some point you're a little Texas very pressed you think nothing but the best thing that can happen to you honey honey makes Americans not dumb real Oh what some barbecue what's uh mr. anything either one thing is always sweet back to my Russian English if you wait good keep that layer going so I want to ask you this time as Brandon I like your question but i want i want to ask it once this this episode what uh what device are you carrying there Henry i'm at the moment i'm using a what x-class nice very nice did you have the 1x ya know if I'd thought I've always liked HTC I'm probably one of the few who like sense I love sense that's nice yeah what do you think about the sense five weeks um I don't like them hmm i don't know if it's a jealousy thing or just now I think next month would be like em7 is gonna come out I'm like I should wait it or whatever though is that way isn't it though yeah I also on the on the desk I've i found a Galaxy Note guys the original cool dwelling running some sort of rom I'm not sure which one oh that's fun are you um as far as the One X goes like I mean are you uh fairly satisfied with the experience overall I mean how does it how is it as far as responsiveness goes and all that kind of stuff free as responsiveness goes I was a bit worried because the whole Tegra 3 thing but this this is beating perfect this hasn't slowed down or crashed what once the xbox is the way the X should have been yes definitely yeah I think well I've only gotten hands-on time with him once Brent it was the same time he was you and I in New York City right was it the AT&T thing yeah and I was like you got so you guys aren't doing this in the white polycarbonate they're like no this is just black and like awesome oh I don't want it everything wasn't the guts you know I loved the 1x that I wanted it in white and it was out my god wanted it cyan hmm I never got that wish why won't you ever learn to what's inside that counts it's I refuse topic color allowing from that that New Age thinking know what are you equipped with the tablet besides the note here I do have a nexus 7 let's not with me at the moment it's on charge I i rooted it I'm and a flashed a new rom on it today I know just one second the other side up or tayyab katakana please mute your microphone because the always looking to you and when we talk to you you can unmute it okay uh okay thank you very much and back to you Henry I flashed a new rom on the nexus 7 but two days ago I was fed up with the stock failed it was unusable totally i would say i was that's why i brought it up because i am not a guy who flashed his roms and very often i tend to run stock but damn it this update on the Nexus 7 has just made it it just lags like it's a bit that's unusable ah yes it's very close down using yes so I've managed to find some room and I flash one with the old tablet UI thing so with the notification and the three buttons on the bus every time yeah better anyway because you want to be reaching all the way up to the top of the screen for notifications anyway yeah I don't want to be using a phone UI I want to ask you something else you're a nexus 7 user what do you think of the leaks for the samsung galaxy note 8.0 um i like it because i had the original note before and i like the whole a spin thing it does add a lot of value to divisive no it's just a stylist basically and what about the outer aspect um from what I've seen of it I don't like the physical button on it I mean that's you're not alone in that totally Whitman that's how a tablet should have especially if it's going to be one of that size just on screen I think I why does it have a any ear piece you supposed to use that as a phone oh my my prayers have been answered I hope you can use it but I promised on the podcast I'll make a demonstration this is the ipad mini and this is how it looks in my hands see I mean I can stretch my hand this far now the the galaxy note 5 10 is actually 11 millimeters even wider than the ipad mini so that means that it will be probably another another finger wide and and you cannot hold the Galaxy Note 8.1 hand even if you have huge hands then how will you hold it to your ear like this with you then I do something for me pretend like you're not on a call and and set the tablet is somewhere in your room and pretend you pick it up to use it as a phone and pretend like you're not even on it just outta see what it would look like yes hold that to your head can we can we do that ya later you're just just the switch domain camera to me oh look on me I'll click on you okay it should be frozen on you yeah somebody's going oh I mean yeah it's brandon hello on the handout right now i'm on my love the big ones the ipad mini you don't want me to switch i can switch hold on me switch to my mat hello oh my god oh this is this is too big so probably probably seven incher would be good for me as a daily driver which would support calls but eight inches no and yeah you guys laugh but I gladly talk on this one you know the way that looks I feel like a nexus 7 would almost look right like yeah this is that seven and hmm yeah maybe that if the nexus 7 hat no bezel then maybe mmm-hmm I mean it's probably the the notes eight-point always probably this much even wider so this is the nexus 7 this is the ipad mini and imagine the note 8.0 even wider and that's too much for me so uh I while we're talking about big devices I just I got something in the mail today from from one brand and minimum uh lucky it's right lucky that's right here and um I have a feeling I'm gonna be just just so so blown away by the quality and an awesomeness of this device is anybody recognize that oh my gosh what's a beer monstrosity oh my god EOG intuition if you're on verizon wireless the only one who liked that phone what that was I the only one who liked that phone you actually you did like this you've never said that publicly before really no take it back yeah hey my god I included the stylus I thought I lost it but like the stylist is a joke the worst stylists in the world did in the box it's a box abuzz oh my god yeah it's what they expect you to carry that thing around with you it doesn't go into the phone you gotta put it in your little shirt with a pocket protector if you you know well i was gonna say there's no like there's no silo I mean you just got to carry this around like this pen from Samsung that brilliant product guys I'm gonna shamelessly step in and I'm gonna ask Henry if there's anything he wants to tell us if not then we had lots of other people and we are expecting you next week no I can't think of anything awesome thank you very much for jalandhar yeah you thank you well yeah I'm the bastard i'm kicking people out i'm just trying to keep this in motion no it's a good flow i think it's good we've got 120 viewers which is awesome we should probably tell even more people let's i utilize our social networks you do that and next on my oh here's an here's a guy i know is much yes I know him from the comments from twitter i know from youtube so welcome who but yes but make sure to unmute your microphone because i cannot hear anything you're saying it should be about a nun on the button button on the top right that's it hey hey now I'm show everyone how is angry goo goo goo it's only a hobby here where are you from the I am mean 10 fighters in some of 34 degrees Celsius oh I

more audio mess and white noise and stuff like that thank you we're gonna call Tony the stuff the mute master someone's got to do it I I think it wasn't Matthias pointed out that we can we can mute

you're welcome hey thank you hey ya lost last time I saw your show kind of go envy is like oh I should have been there like it was a really cool show we will die you liked our first hangout that was a disaster it was like this is a disaster to know like a captain I kept laughing tore the whole thing like when that would what was the guy's name Marco he could like keep putting those light him in his camera it looked like a funny I enjoyed it yeah that's the idea that shouldn't be comedy I think what do you mean it I think what he means to say is that we have funny faces that you know especially no no I'm not I did I don't mean that I'm just saying was like a entertaining let's not call it funny hats call it entertaining no I I also was watching it because I couldn't join in i guess i didn't know it was happening until it was happening and so i was watching it and I was like alternately cursing because I couldn't participate and then cracking up because it was something it was great yeah it was quite entertaining and quite good topics also like because i like it because it mentioned hd2 and 82 is my like the gateway to all know effective in I didn't know what homes or anything was until I what random elements video how are you pretty android on hd2 that's how I like started like suddenly like phones and everything I would continue my HT to videos except my hd2 has long been stuck in a reboot cycle it just doesn't can i send it to you unser nova yeah we could he can use it as a paperweight or what just kind of sit you know what am I gonna play babe no the hd2 I had it had like the sunscreen issue I had stopped like touch just stopped so I had to replace it i don't even have it right now so i feel like you know I've never had one but I feel like you like like losing an hd2 is like one of those events in a phone owners life that you remember right whether it dies or whether you lose it or what I would like no it's like the most awesome phone and we're like you can do anything with it I nothing will have to do it why can't we make more phones like that I mean that was the perfect tone well what woody nothing that is so amazing I don't know it's made so easy to do everything right I mean I just so one video that like Brad minimus to video and I was able to put like all the radio I could you change the radio and everything and I could put the next reform on it and that was like no even the ted i am a lawyer so i have no background have nothing I mean I'm lawyer I could do it you got every care what would you say if your lawyer your mouth shut well yeah but I'm saying back there I was like in the law school so I had no idea of how r anyways and what I just feel what anything is I could do it that alone is an amazing track for meeting I was about to ask you something can you tell us a little bit about the mobile landscape in your country do you have the latest bones what the prices are how how is the market looking yeah or we have the latest phones from Samsung Samsung religious hair like everything was a little even there too yeah and we have nokia but nokia is kinda like the low-end nokia is very popular like the people use it for every day but not Lumias no one likes Lumias here symbian phones Asha phones down thumbs no no don't know even the DeMars like the feature phones don't like they're gonna fight for 1,100 sir okay like you can we have like we know prepaid packages so people carry on like two sims or 3 sims and they use like those mini fellows for and they have like battery for three days so that's what but how do you run applications on those phones hey they don't need application they just call it text and fix is just a phone he know a pier view yeah yeah so and only used to put phones here but now sony has stopped sending phone so that's like a bummer but we still get phones from like people who get import those phones from Dubai and put it we have companies who put their own warranty and this Alec here so you haven't FLT no LTE we have 3g but that's only limited to certain areas but we have a very big broadband network stay along like the most time on edge or 3g that is good well thank you very much for joining us hope to talk to you again next week we'll be here hope you'll be here definitely definitely out here and I'm not sure who's next in line but I've seen this face for quite some time so Mike Letterman hi yes I've seen this face in quotes because I see some glasses some diving classes where are you from Michael little Letterman do you hear me I think it's microphones manatees talking I see if you're talking Michael maybe you might check your microphone for for a mute settings in the upper right corner no one is talking yeah no one it's just okay until until Michael gets back let's talk to I see somebody here Michael Thompson oh yeah every night and we can hear you hi welcome half like some icon hello Brandon pleasing take it away Oh where you from Michael I'm from Denmark nice nice what kind of phone do you use uh actually my normal phone is the galaxy s2 that is an old one one of the best friends I did you get the end jelly bean update no I'm not yet um I don't know when it's going it's in Spain now yeah it is so your honor yeah yeah I'm still wrongs targa actually haven't rooted it the thing about it but I don't know the whole thing would void guarantee a warranty and ensure that i don't i started with the optimus 2x from LG and that was the biggest mistake of problem ate my whole what the world's first dual core smartphone yeah the Tegra 3 disappointed you I noticed a check for 20 yeah was it yeah I did hecka to the Terra too yeah the whole Caroline's yeah yeah but the but at the moment actually i'm using this phone the padfone 2 oh nice job DUS celestone to us i just woke up um I got this from Mesa so it it's not actually mine i'm testing at foreign fall so you're in the business too um not really it's a it's a come aboard it was a thing that they're doing in the Nordic countries where they give up a couple of them to test it next time when when you hear something like that I'm real close and I can move to the north countries so yeah I'd see some let's see some padfone 2 it shows they had chosed everything well yeah I'd love to see how the the dock connector on the on the phone there how it plugs into the back Brandon your cameraman switch is switched to Michael please you Michael Thompson um yeah I don't know what how well you can see this um it has it has this 13f can connect the dock connector here and two holes uh-huh besides is and these well slice down to it right here way to have be exactly the same on the sides they have these rubber there's nothing so it doesn't scratch up the handset but they have some Robinson uh not so it doesn't scratch it they do that by having an elevated a bit decided I guess but the amount of things holds it in place Wow Michael from from the Nordic countries I have a question this does the fat phone to also come with that crazy stylus and the headset included just like the batphone London no so how do you talk on phone if it rings when it's inside your tablet um they have some different they have this oh this is quite hot um they made a widget that has different settings hold on your camera was falling apart for a second ya gonna do this oh they're a good idea yeah and it has the cha-ching settings where you can it can do some intelligence we're kind of equals them off so they both have battery or you can do so just charges the phone yeah I got that but my question maybe maybe let me rephrase entering it's down here you have some incoming calls also but you would have to have a other bluetooth headset or you can do it with the speakers then there was my question because with the batphone one you had a stylus which was like a pen and that had a big it up and yeah and he were basically talking at that diabeetus doesn't really hit while you were doing a pig I'm picturing who are from Star Trek yes hello hello one of those as well I'm separated anything as a phone Michael Thompson do you have also another dedicated tablet or is this kind of your your thing for now this is my thing for now my I gave my girl from the Nexus 7 that's very nice against it yeah um so we have that the house it's also we debate all the time on the podcast whether the PadFone concept makes sense and I always think that it wouldn't work for me because I want to have two separate devices so that if I like the phones in one room and then the tablet dumb terminal is in another room it's like you know kind of misses the point what are your thoughts on that do you like having the singular device or would you rather too um well I've been pondering about that too and it is a hard question but I actually like to have it like this as I like the PadFone idea just because you also have the what kept data on it so if you're playing a game which end you have the lives clear that's again not not all apps can sink sink that so so that's I don't have to play the same levels in angry birds over and over that's interesting because a lot of things sink gmail contacts and calendar and even web favorites and everything but something's don't game states and home-screen placement like how you have your widget set up yeah so I I'm just another voice little lending some credence to that because I play rise of glory on every Windows Phone device that I have every Windows Phone device that I review but I always have to start from level one whenever I get a new review unit so I've never gotten a something like the sixth level he drives me nuts so that must be nice Michael Thompson is there anything else you want to tell us um no I don't think so Betty don't Tony I I want to say can we uh get wheat Michael please can we come can you come back on the air again at one point cuz we were not done looking at that padfone 2 yet and you're fun yeah sure I just wait a minute thank you very much for joining and hoped you see you again next time with the bad phone yeah sure you're right and you guys want to pick somebody oh no Michael Letterman do you have your audio this time and we still cannot hear you well let's get goodness i miss huh she's working it out did you mute him or on youtube i unmuted him there's a button in the upper right corner it controls your mute button you probably have something to tell us but you can write in the chat if you have any oh you're my go-to Michael Thompson is uh is very helpfully showing us what we're that mute but thank you yeah yeah wow what magic okay Michael Letterman until you figured it out let's talk to Pedro Costa and you need to UM you too right there in here me know yes we can okay hey I know a manger hey Petra that's that's kind of a goal like a garment rig you got going there can you hear through here okay through the hood uh yeah Michael you want to do some singing together is actually my first time in the podcast know the potty I diposkan a podcast or what no it is not we're not sure what it is yeah yeah it's not thought it is what it is need to hang out we're just hanging out good chillin we're just chillin I just choose where you coming from bedroom uh Portugal cool ice not so nice why not why not so nice because of the Akuma economical crisis and all that you know that's affecting the entire EU region so you're no we're not we're above the level of Greece but not so bad I believe me I'm in Romania and i'm at the same level so i feel you okay and in the u.s. we have a fiscal cliff awesome that's awesome I want to sell some bungee cords to two people so as we approach that fiscal cliff I can capitalize on it why are you working with their paper hey drew it's actually a pretty bad cell phone but it has custom roms so it's kind of a little bit how bad how about me talking what are you working with arm v6 it's not bad it's a smartphone but you know what's the mount of like it what's the model number name it's a GTA blade ZTE yeah did we see that at CES time no we saw is actually the first flight so it's like a model from 2009 it's really old oh sweet i remember rock´n´roll style I think there's a desire HD competitor right I'm just making that up no I guess I think it was re i guess it's a desire s desire s competitor sire is a custom rom on like a like a four or five year old phone at this point I how's that working out for him curious like I think you're this is a first for the for the Hangout certainly oh it's running pretty good running on jellybean 4.1 uh custom roms for the win I was gonna say Joe you got a reason to say about this that absolutely woman that that's the whole reason why custom roms and unlocking your boot loaders is so much it makes so much sense you've got an older phone which the carrier doesn't want to support the the manufacturer doesn't want to support and now all of a sudden look at the open source community comes in says this phone still works it's still a nice phone let's just update it yeah and we can it's the way it should be so I don't know what I was going to say so just keep on the show thank you very much and I have an announcement everybody who managed to talk to us please I'm not kicking you out but please be so kind and leave so others can join the hangout until we figure it out or Google figures it out how we can talk more people at the same time and yeah and 40s by everybody for the bucket now guys we're getting close to one hour are we extending going above one hour uh we got about 12 minutes left yeah I was gonna say I'm here for about another 15 minutes and then if you guys want to keep going I can join back in the chat but no no voice and video let's make the best of it mr. mr. Poole snorky Armstrong that sounds like a u.s. name oh yeah we have another instance of mutant microphone Oh welcome i'm gonna start australia yeah good eye why why do they say Down Under I mean I know but what what say what what sign that's a good question so you don't know either not how this droid how we st. weather reports from all around the world how's the weather like in Australia ah crazy a climate um miss baby boys there's been rained is all sort of things going on at the moment good that's good it's good that it's not snowing tell us what devices do you have I had a nexus s in the Nexus 7 good good combination I was just thinking about the nexus s because I've got this the samsung at Eve Odyssey which is like a samsung focus and a nexus s had a baby but I i missed the curve you know I like the Nexus S is big antenna bulge on the bottom and the curved designed you still do you find that it still works well for you yay it makes really good actually good yeah that was it that was such a good still is a good phone with the curve i think the Galaxy Nexus on occur it curves good i mean your face is cut my face is curved it looks like your face no no i don't think they should keep me I mean I've got this often as G here which is like um it just you know it's like it doesn't it doesn't uh someone take it take it away your happen it's already tired of the optimus G yes guy season about the optimus G real quick please I I lied to myself about the optimus G yeah you know you know I said you know how they said the nexus 4 has touch screen issues and the nexus tree is better but it's not fixed it's this in a Cell touch it's that same slight mountainous lag that you get on the ipad mini on the iphone 5 on the nexus 4 and the LG optimus treat they need to do the technologies it's it's odd it that i will never get a phone or device again with in-cell touch that's probably not true but i'm gonna say no okay so here's what thought here's here's the fix for that we got to get phones that start recognizing when your finger is closed and then we won't notice the lag as much we'll have more proximity-based stuff that would be an improvement which sony phone did that where you could bet they basically interact with the phone and you shouldn't touch you weren't supposed to touch the screen there was a sony phone which did that i can't remember now yeah it was one of those mid-range ones but i'll be like you know the note 2 and the note do it with the S Pen like you've got hover ability there and then you got the Lumia 920 if you get close to that screen you can manipulate it because the sensitivity is so crank up so their phones that do it hey Tony my wife says um that we should put the video on that on the on the pocket now Paige at the top because it's confusing because she's definitely right and I will make sure for next week to do that okay hi wife hey Brandon's wife anyway um so who is up next let us see if anybody wants to pick let's talk to Daniel yeah hey Daniel make sure you knew it's Daniel right yeah yeah how are you and where are you from um I'm from Malaysia we have such an international audience we are well that is fun so how how is it in Malaysia summer days took painting occasionally yeah you think in note to note too very nice your home screen let's try to get it closer look at that read all your data this case oh yeah you're holding up click on your oh yeah there we go chunky it's hard to are you running a custom theme or like a third body launcher know is the default one oh it's TouchWiz yep you know the funny thing is i bought the phone they come with this cover casing yeah the flood cover yeah well now that that's not the fifth gotta flip cover something way different is that like a seidio case or something something like that we didn't did it come in the box no it's not in a box it's like ah from the seller kind of thing oh yeah yeah it's a gift yeah you know the funny thing is like it's like Deanna approve cover so when I just one day I was trying to use the S Pen so the S Pen kind of effect I'd a magnet so when I draw it's kind of like uh huh so that thing is magnetic yeah oh it snaps into place and interferes with the S Pen that is annoying I've never heard about that that's uh somebody somebody didn't think that through my tires after some time oh man and I just updated the 4.1 point2 and I I think it's quite good do you use the a multi window feature yeah but that's the one thing you know this um the back space where you can have you on this one right the back button mm-hmm I can't edit this oh wait there's not there's an edit button down below there yeah but you know you you can't bring your own apps yeah there's only certain apps that are supported for from all T screen yeah it's a pain at least there's more than there were on the on the kyocera echo de do we have a special set of okay I'm gonna make it hmm all the echo he's found these YouTube sounds are great but inevitably you click them like five seconds too late and you know me making it pretty funny is all about timing and it's like oh sorry I was coming thank you invent that was funny five seconds ago precisely uh okay Daniel is there anything else you want to tell us um nothing much but just want to say that Brendan actually helped me helped me a lot in my first phone actually bought the HTC incredible s true your review and like you know that's awesome man that's why that's why we do it so I to hear that we help you out but I get rid of that light not too long ago and then I got this phone it's quite a good who slow they have the Ice Cream Sandwich install it was right over laggy Daniel thank you very much for joining us come back next week and I think we'll get back to Europe this time with the with Reese luck would please unmute your microphone welcome good evening to you thank you you have an awesome name if that it makes me it makes me want to have a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup although it spelled differently yeah but but they are great now amazing let me ask you something when you eat a Reese's do you start with the outside and then eat the inside or you just buy track I just full-on Tran you're gonna want to do what you guys are talking about you you just go right for you don't don't mess around yeah don't beat around the bush straighten this hang out have a clean tag Tony or what i'm not sure but if it's added we just lost it Reese what kind of device you're working with their i am using a open for AA an iOS user joins the joins the fray this is cool I got nothing nothing wrong with that no not love love oh I don't come I love my iphone this just funny gets gets me through the day um it's a great advice I was about to say when i was in london for the samsung galaxy s free event that i was commuting like three hours from the hotel to the convention center everybody in the tube had iphones so I phone is huge in the UK yeah yeah i agree i noticed that there seems to be a lot more iOS users here than there's an android however since the release of android 4.0 specially the pickup is becoming more and more especially with the Samsung galaxies there is tickling the one to break which are very popular devices here as well and also windows film gains a lot of Mark market share in UK yeah yeah I'm actually thinking of upgrading to Windows Phone in three months probably at nine twenty so here's a good tough question for you were you're switching from iOS to Windows Phone why not to Android i actually used android and before now i'm not a huge fan of it not not say there's anything wrong with android it's just not my thing not sure why maybe the interface i mean i know a lot changed especially with the release of ice cream sandwich and sleeting revamped it and it is a lot nice advice but I'm certainly just not interested in androids especially with the with Windows Phone 8 it just looks fluid it's nice to use its attractive and just great pieces really you're describing it's it's funny you say that I think of the upgrade tendencies people are used use iPhone go to Windows Phone because it's like this sort of this this smooth you know controlled always fast always fluid always beautiful experience whereas Android it's there but it's got this the stigma where where you know people try to Android a year to a poor jelly bean and they they found it to be slow but yeah I think windows I think you're going to accept you probably have purchased a handful of apps and you're kind of in the apple ecosystem so you'll have to I guess is that a consideration or you really just stick to free apps um mainly free apps do have a paid app particularly angry birds so the lavanya votes and I do have my am my iPad Mini which I do intend on carry on using my main tasks on my web browsing documents on the go and things so it could be interesting managing between a Windows Phone device and then I've had you know with the totally different interfaces because they're not even alike in any way yeah totally different did they're both locked ecosystems yes yeah that is one thing i do like with android how open is you've got the ability to do noon of anything you want with our android which is quite tip which I can see why a lot of people are going over that especially coming from the iPhone because you know the iphone is got your background and that's really all you can customize on their own frustrating isn't it it's just so I want to change you did work for me but why can't you yes it's funny it like Android is the modern-day windows mobile it really is because and windows mobile you could change anything back in what 2006 and before yeah yeah although what means I've actually held up for grading to win this phone is 53 10 I'm quite interested with the look of blackberry 10 I didn't tell me I have an old blackberry bold here that I used before I got my iphone and then I grew angry it's a bold the bull yeah the prettiest back there ever was if you asked me because of his banner yeah um it's a light blackberry bit there's nothing much you can do with it it's email text and it's awful for web browsing particular these black r is for the keyboard and the non-touch screen so you got the touch pad you can move that aro around it's great time yeah I love it nice need whatever yeah sometimes those I miss him I I'd like to have like a roller ball or a touchpad where I could just precision point that pointer sad when that went away from the the nexus one and the HTC g2 yeah yeah quite like the newer flat freeze weather is the touch pad rather than the ball because the problem I had with this was a little piece of dust would get into the ball and that yet you did need to find new ball it would just ruin it in seconds you gotta get in there like you pop the ball out like that and that those outfits in the mall and stuff they'd have like blackberry repair stands where they could pop off the faceplate and get in there with a q-tip or something and I clean the rollers on the ball and it's like what is this 1994 what's going on and I charge you ridiculously for that yeah they were special q-tips though you know they're not just regular q-tips I am premium price per q-tip Reese thing yeah go on go on I was just gonna say i actually have a samsung galaxy i'm not sure the model here i did use for a few months that has android on i believe it was 3.2 i believe the first that they updated it to I mean it was good it was a good little interim phone before I got my iphone but it was laggy poor poor fact I mean I couldn't even run angry birds on it I think if there's if there's one truth to the world that's if you can't run Angry Birds what's the point right yeah reason i was about to thank you very much for joining us and hope to see you next week and I was about to ask the guys do we have time for one more color or should we wrap it up I can stick around for one more I can do one more yup let's do one more ok this time Brandon you pick one thank you very much Reese and please mute your microphone thank you Casper is that your name oh this is a Michaels best Michael's friend from the podcast yeah hey Casper I like the eye like the eye are you in front of a fireplace you have a nice orangey maybe a really good tan a well-lit Casper yeah good good to see you on a hangout I didn't it took me a second to find you nice to nice to see your face well nice to see you too thank you guys where were you from I'm from Poland wait wait a pole and then then it's Casper void in yak yeah really close now screaming now it's got better bleeping up so no it was close yeah buddy close actually the closest anyone has said I get most people's i would say gospel any good night I've been traveling a lot to Poland and Bolin is one of many countries in Europe yeah with my job before pocket now and I want to ask you something about mobile landscape I know that era was a huge I mean when I was in Poland through 2005 and nine between these years era was the greatest largest carrier in Poland what's the situation well now it's uh kind of difficult to say now there's a new player mix play and it's and it's gaining a lot of market is the message gone domestic courier or some joint venture some other companies getting in the Polish market I think it's uh it came abroad but I'm not really sure what it is a tie is gone so it's similar now and the situation is changing i would say oranges is the largest one marriage yeah right in the and + now might get some attention it's the first carrier that's the offers LTE so oh you got a nice nice yeah yes so Casper what's your what's your next phone gonna be um I thought it would be nexus 4 but it's difficult to get one yeah yeah it's still there still at they're still backordered right yeah and it's not available here in Poland so yeah it sorry look you're either and you need to or are you thinking of taking advantage of that of your newfound LTE or is that not I was concerned actually the only phone that we have here that supports LTE is Lumia 920 and a 20 so um you know LT in Europe is not popular frequency do you use because all phones should support LTE um I've nothing to frequencies I don't really know but from what I've heard we don't have any any phones that support healthy I've been thinking about buying notes too but I don't know it's too big or not it's a it's a big risk to buy one do you have retail stores where you can you know debut sample them and take them you know you have a demo unit is yes but you know it's very different to hold it for five minutes and have it for some time absolutely when I was playing with it in a shop I thought yeah it would be nice but I'm not sure whether it would be good single long-term you know I'm a little surprised that nobody has branded me a samsung fanboy yet because I'm seem to always be pushing their products but I found with my time with a note too that it felt more manageable the more time went on like it was huge when I check it out of the box I was like this is ridiculous but then I you know I five days I was like all right and then I went back to my was carrying galaxy s3 at the time I went back to it and I was like well this is just too small to get anything done yeah notes do this great and now i'm rocking hd2 so yes very nice nothing just somebody kill that thing no you can't kill it that's the thing it will never die except Brandis I wanted to switch and i bought the galaxy s2 but after using it for six hours i pricked it and you went back to the apt yeah I had no choice the gs2 is dead you know in three years from now people r gonna come on and say I'm the galaxy s7 and of course the hdq it's doing well so we gotta have like an hd2 day like a celebration where we just like I don't know we gotta do something that you get a reduction a bucket now HD to meet up yeah that's a cool idea I yeah when google allows you to do more than 10 deep on a hangout although i'm sure they limited for a reason well I'll just get around and sing songs about Larry and Tony you said you've been to Poland couple of times what's your water favorite city well I of course marshal eyes is awesome but I like also watch professional roof how do you say that I don't know the last song what is it our I'm gonna spell it for you in the cheddar I like polandball is a nice country and the people are good nice and they're friendly and most of the people i've talked to you are young people who speak english which is not the same in every european country thank you I for the earlier we were going to say crack oh I was I was I was basically in all major cities in Poland like 20 20-something cities i had to go on business trips and then I got to see lots of places in Poland info Vita including khatta meetha I like yeah I am i I'm actually half polish so I like Poland really yeah my am my great-grandparents were born there the other half are born in Russia and have you ever been yeah no no I was home yeah it's on the bucket list somewhere uh well guys we should we should wait before we go before we go I'm gonna polish tie-in nice so of all the people that I have met that I didn't already know through pocket now uh I actually got to meet up with a fan he and his family came to the US on vacation went up to Yellowstone National Park and all around and while they were here they drove right past my house knew that I was here so they said hey let's go out to lunch we had a nice meet up a sit-down and he was from Poland so there's my tie in is pretty cool yeah we cool I would like to meet with you may be here in Poland Sunday me going to pull and then the guys I was gonna get you ready fuh in Berlin Tony one day I think we're at the end of the show we had like two days left in the country is like you know we can we can go to Poland and I'm like good I can't cause the best Tony
