Making Calls is now Fifth Priority

Recommended Posts

Making calls is now the fifth most-used function on smartphones - after the web, Facebook, games and music

From MailOnLine

Mobile phones started life as machines built for talking - but actually making calls is now one of their least popular functions.

Smartphone owners now spend just 12 minutes talking on their phones a day - but spend two hours using the gizmos.

Texting - formerly one of the reasons people became addicted to phones - is now less popular, with users spending just 10 minutes sending messages.

I use my soon to be obsolete Blackberry for texting, emails, and calls... and pretty much in that order.

 

Blackberry apps are useless.

 

I think my next phone will be an iPhone.

      How do you know you are buying an original phone? 
       
      There are many places here in Cambodia and SEA that will try and sell you a fake / look-alike phone. Some businesses knowingly some unknowingly. 
       
      Here is some tips to help you buy an original phone.
       
      IPhone - This one is easy. 
       
      Go to the app store. 
      If it loads the Iphone app store it is real. 
      If it loads the Google Play Store it is fake.
      It is currently impossible to run a fake IOS all fake Iphones run Android with the skin changed to look like IOS.
       
      Android - This is a little more complicated but still easy enough.
       
      Download the Geekbench app onto the phone you are looking to buy. 
      Then run the Geekbench Benchmark test. It can take from 5-15 minutes to run the test.
      Take note of the resulting score.
      Check this score on the Geekbench website. 
      If the score is nearly the same the phone is real.
      If the score is way off the phone is fake.
       
      Example: 
      Real Samsung note 8 Score is 1800 single core 6000 multi core
      Fake Samsung note 8 score is 421 single core 1126 multi core 

      The fake / knockoff phones are made to look like the original not to perform like it. You can't go by look alone some of the fakes are just too good. Just watch some YouTube videos and you will see.
      If you want to buy a fake phone then the price generally seems to be 10% of the original phone's price. 

      Good luck when buying a phone.

      Sit-in ends, anger lingers Wed, 18 September 2013 Meas Sokchea and Abby Seiff
       

       
      A day that began with a monk attempting to set himself on fire and closed with a possessed woman predicting Prime Minister Hun Sen’s end suggested that the emotions of many were in little danger of ebbing, even as the three-day demonstration concluded.  
      As an exuberant crowd of thousands looked on, 35-year-old Venerable Sok Dyna climbed the stage and took the microphone, launching into a diatribe about land grabs, the destruction of natural resources and the K5 border defence plan that deployed hundreds of thousands of landmines in the 1980s.
       
      “The world is blind to seeing the death of Khmer people through cruel actions that Hun Sen’s partisans undertook – even in this age of Facebook,†he said.
