You know your internet sucks when you can't even load the speedtest site.

Had that happen a while back when ours was acting up.

Just ordered a asus transformer prime + keyboard dock for the lady, anyone own or have used one? Looks like a pretty sweet setup.

I have the Infinity (TFT700). No dock though. Works pretty good and Asus keeps them updated. Does get laggy sometimes but overall pretty quick.

Nice it has tegra 3 quad core so I would imagine it should be rather peppy for a tablet. Plus I <3 nvidia

Not as peppy as I expected but it did get better with Jelly Bean. The OS kinda lags sometimes, and some apps have as well but I assume they are not well written. I don't play too many games, but the ones I have played have had no issues.

Ok nice, I assume any android can upgrade to jelly bean right? I think it comes with icecream sandwich.

Been on iOS since original droid so I'm behind

You can't just upgrade to Jelly Bean unless it's been released to that device, or you are rooted and load a custom rom.

If yours is a recent manufacture, it should come with Jelly Bean on it. If not, you'll get prompted to upgrade. You may get several upgrades to go through to get to Jelly Bean. Each incremental upgrade has to be done before the next one. Eventually you'll get there!

Just looking for opinions, moving back to the states this summer and I will probably go with AT&T for my cell since I can get a SIM for my iPad, trying to decide if I get an iPhone 5 or maybe an Android device. Love my iPhone, but the new Galaxy S4 seems pretty cool too.

My boss just got a galaxy s4 and I have to admit, it is very cool. I have iPhone. But as far as service I love AT&T , I get service most anywhere

Thanks. Hear the service is pretty good on Oahu. Seems like it would be a waste to not be able to use the iPad.

I'm not sure how AT&T's cell reception is in HI, but it's pretty good here in MN, and I drop calls and can't send texts every once in a while. I used to have T-mobile and never had a problem but that was a few years ago. I've heard mixed things about Verizon and Sprint.

The S4 is just a bunch of gimmicky crap you'll use twice to show your friends, go with the iPhone 5. As far as service goes, I have verizon and it's great in NC, 4g just about anywhere.

I thinking about getting a new phone. Either iPhone5 or Galaxy S4.

The iPhone is solid as hell and can't be beat in terms of relaibility IMO. However I find it girly in comparison to the S4 and I hate being forced to use itunes. *sigh

I would get the Samsung. They are pretty bulletproof. I used to manage stores that sold cell phones. Samsung had very few warranty issues. If I didn't have to stick to iPhone to keep my unlimited data plan, I'd buy an s4 instead of the iPhone 5 I have now.
