Q. I have a samsung captivate (galaxy s), I have heard that all phone numbers on the phone can be saved into your gmail account. So that in case you loose your phone, you can retrieve them. Is that true? If so, than how can I do that?
A. My contacts are sync'd between my phone (Google Nexus S) and my gmail account automatically just by connecting my phone to my google account and selecting 'contacts' as a sync option.
To verify that this is set-up do the following:
1. Go to 'settings'
2. Select 'Accounts & Sync'
3. Select your account
4. Make sure 'Sync Contacts' is checked.
What should I get / what's better, the new black berry bold or the samsung galaxy nexus?
Q. Getting a new phone for christmas and I'm not too sure what to get, any ideas which are the best out of the two?
A. Definitely go with the Galaxy Nexus. Android is hugely popular now, while Blackberry just shows signs that's outdated. You will have a better browsing experience, 4G LTE data speeds and a ton more apps to choose from. I normally tell people out all devices theyre interested in before buying, but in this case the Galaxy Nexus is easily the clear winner... go with it.
What is the best tablet in your opinion?
Q. for me, i think it's Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 because i can play, watch movies, design pictures and even use it in education!
A. O.S:
Android. If you want Windows 8 stick away from them for a while this video will explain everything very well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_wrAzhVKPw . or just avoid the surface RT tablets due to software compatability issues and wait for the tablets with x86 processors to become available. Don't go with Apple unless you understand other options and better value (my opinion).
Most powerful:
Asus transformer. Great design, powerful hardware and most up to date Android OS. Can do everything the Galaxy note can bet better and faster. 10-11 inches. hefty price tag though. can be used in conjunction with a keyboard for word prossecing and other educational uses.
Portable:
this would go to the Nexus 7. Excellent size and powerful hardware as well as feeling great during use. Dimesions are proportioate and a variety of cases are available. Asus made and google marketed and funded to make quality control at utmost importance. cheap and high quality ($250 AUD). beware that it is in its first genereation and educational uses may be impractacul.
Tips:
Avoid any unknown O.S.' (Operating Systems). The most well known and the best are Android, iOS and Symbian with the most progressing and future proof being Android. Unknown O.S' (e.g. some HP tablets include an unheard of O.S") have limited app support so hardly anything is developed for them due to limited market.
Shop around. Spending time researching your purchase is always a good idea. Get the best deal and don't forget about added costs of accesories, warranties and software. Check that the product your looking for has the desired accessories available and at least has as little proprietary ports as possible, but that is not a nesscity.
Avoid gimmics. Don't by a tablet because you can do a task that has limited capability. i for example chose the 3-d option on my laptop but find myself hardly using it. if you are comparing 2 or more tablets and one has more practical functionality than go for it.
Storage and compatability tips:
if you must decide on 2 similar tablets, i would choose the one with external storage capability. This means you could but a micro sd card into the machine and expand your storage.beware of the Andorid market as each different model or brand will likely feature different chargers or device connecters.
Other tips:
- Buy within your budget. Don't splurge to get the bleeding edge, get what you require. most tablets will fit your requirements of video, picture editing and educative uses.
- Avoid first generations. They can sometimes be buggy or low on features when compared to other tablets.
if you're looking for mobile internet connectivity, possibly get your tablet on a plan.
cheers and hope this helped and sorry for the miss spellings, i was in a rush :P
