Simbion was similar. Those phones were incredible workhorses – dare I say nicer than anything we have today. When a Nokia e71 could get days of battery while actually using it, combined with a really

Hi, This is all down to personal preference. While Android devices don’t get as many software updates as iOS devices, the screen reader still receives updates independently of the software version, wh

Hi, To add to this, and to clarify my previous post, I wasn’t in any way shape or form implying that we should have this available to us outside of the US. That is simply a sad reality and shouldn’t b

Hi, <rant time> The difference between that i5 and a faster processor in 2019-2020 is minimal at best - we're talking literally 100 to 200 MHZ and absolutely 0 percent in real world performance - migh

Hi, Yes. This is most likely because EMMC storage is a slightly lower end solid state drive than is probably in your laptop and / or desktop. From what I am able to gather, that 128 gb Data drive is e

It will handle it, but you’ll have to be patient. iTunes is a notorious resource hog – and if you use it for your daily music needs, might I recommend something like Foobar 2000, which has a much smal
