The Droid Turbo is out today. I stopped by my local Verizon store and they had it. Very kool! I’m currently a RAZR M owner and overdue for an upgrade. It’s very new so I’m holding off till they at least root the device and hopefully unlock the bootloader. But it has a massive 3900mah battery and the specs are obscene! Gives me a serious case of the wants.

Sony Xperia Z3 Compact has impressive specifications and features. Also has an Apple like design and is water resistant.
It looks like a pretty good alternative for iPhone.
Yeah – 20 megapixel camera vs. 20.7 megapixel. Got to have that extra 0.7 megapixel! 🙂
Marc, delete or respond as you see fit, but I don’t find anywhere on the dvorak.org website a list of available smilies and how to invoke them.
It does say that the Sony is coming to Verizon.
When it come to camera picture quality, the number of pixels is almost meaningless these days… Many other things figure far more in to the picture quality equation.
Why would you need a cell phone in the first place?
maps that talk you home?
Just to have when I hang with the guys. To pull out of my pocket and say “See what I got” so I can watch them drool, and make goo goo eyes at my phone.
Hardly!
When you pull your phone out in social situations and start fiddling with it, you’re really telling everyone in the group that you’re bored with them and would rather do something else than interact with them (and their boring ass conversation). It’s rude and disrespectful. Even more, it’s accepted as a social NORM! But that shouldn’t be any surprise in a nation full of arrogant pricks.
Nevertheless, I’ll still say “fuck you” when some asshole does it with me. Occasionally, I’ll even take it right out of their hands too. It’s a bit like watching a baby cry for his/her bottle.
So go ahead. Get that new TOY! It’s a great way to determine how mature you are. You might as well pull out your doll collection and building blocks too. You clueless dickhead!
… But do it in traffic and I’ll probably punch you in the face!
Naa. A good phone like described is like a fine wine, beautiful lady, nice car, diamond ring..you must show it off.
Anger management classes are available..
a really good phone is one with 600 volts on the usb for when the cops and feds stick their thingy into it.
I’m getting a boner.
You’re not going to wait for the Elon phone?
If Elon had a phone it would probably be a brain implant device.
Looks like you’ve got it then.
Looks cool but I covet that leather or wood back from the Moto X too…
I miss bakelite.
Having seen Star Wars, Droid Turbo is equivalent to Zombie.
Here are 15 things I don’t do with my iPhone:
1) I don’t take Selfies and I despise who do.
2) I don’t hold it with two hands.
3) I don’t watch movies or tv series with it.
4) I don’t post or browser Facebook. I don’t even have a facebook account.
5) I don’t buy it in gold or white color.
6) I don’t pickup calls from numbers that aren’t in my contact list.
7) I don’t make calls during a walk.
8) I don’t change models when there is a new release.
9) I don’t buy it with 16GB.
10) I don’t use a case.
11) I don’t put it in my back pocket.
12) I don’t play games on a line.
13) I don’t film any music concert.
14) I don’t read books on it.
15) I don’t have my earbuds everywhere I go.
Still waiting for root!
