Hardly used. May forget to ring once every 6 months ! 2. Technology fully embraced (wot me ?) and need super duper upgrade There is a third of course Brexit rubbish causes the world to end |

3G Very Good Service 4G Good Service (which one would I have ?) Buy a 4G phone and it'll use 4G whenever it can, dropping to 3G when it can't (and then down to 2.5G). |

Too late to decide. Ordered the LG Slinger pointed me at Looks good. It 3 and 4G. This is what happens when someone who knows what they are doing tells me what to do ! Been thinking about this little toy. There are probably a lot of things I can do very usefully with it. Assume I can make text and voice notes for myself. Rather than think and forget Could have taken a poor picture or two of what was probably a buzzard yesterday. Couple of other things I have forgotten as I didn't have a phone to make notes |

You can bury treasure and GPS coordinate mark it.
You can use I as a compass in the wilderness. Or to tell you which way to mount solar panels:)
You can use it as a torch.
You can make video notes / audio record yourself and conversations
You can control Spotify, Volumio, Router admin.
It's a scientific calculator.
All the usual social media..
You can check the tension of your tennis racquet with it (app)..
Plus many more..

You can look at frequency spectrums of your system
You can measure levels
You can measure sesmic vibrations
You can see all aircraft in the airspace above you
You can point it at the sky and see all the constellations
You can look at satellite imagery of where you live or anywhere else
The apps are endless, some wonderful and some utter crap.

This sounds good We need a thread for music and hifi Apps ! which I have started Seems like this 'phone' could be more of a multi purpose Tech. Swiss Army Knife The phone bit is negligible for me |

You just need to learn to cook meth, sell it to the Czech Republic ala Breaking Bad, and then you'll have lots of money and treasure to bury and GPS mark.

Defeat from the jaws of victory.
One reason to get this phone is to placate the management when I go out on a bike ride.
Job done - I thought.
Fraid not.
I should have asked management first and they would have found me at least one spare Apple iPhone.
It will enable me to message or text on the same platform or some such.
So they can ignore me on that too

Management can now track you and snoop on you with an app or two..
