I'm not ashamed to say that I still watch cartoons.

Always have watched them, always will.

I turned my kids on to Pinky and the Brain and my grandkids on to Jimmy Neutron.

Most of the prime time adult shows are just bad cartoons with self-absorbed losers hamming up melodrama anyway.

Melodrama? Make mine with a genuine Acme anvil please.

Angry Beavers
Spongebob
Pinky and the Brain
South Park (not of course for kids)
Looney Toons

All good. Though I luv South Park, not a good fit for the others in the list. Crude & rude. Funny though IMO.

As far as the G3: Got News? Not really.

I remember wacky race in boomerang and I'm not old.

I just Googled and the answer came up. Pinky and the brain!!!!. Don't mess with Google.

If pinky said it, he stole if from Glum. On Gullivers travels, banana splits.

Awesome memories.

Yes one of the first to introduce it.

T-Mobile Launches LTE-Advanced VoLTE in Seattle

I hope T-mobile doesn't get the exclusive on the 805 model then. I'm stuck with Verizon.

Interesting article on why the G3 doesn't have wireless charging in the US:

TLDR: Its our carriers to blame. :mad:

And Starbucks is rolling out wireless charging counters. Euro first by the way.

Lg had the best 2013 smartphone, imHo. If they come out with the 805, I believe they will have the best phone in 2014 and their reputation will soar, at least with the root community.*

*Side bar: A young lady, who works in my gym, just got the G2, so the LG IS making out to the unschooled world.

My daughter in law bought a G2 last fall when they first came out; I was disappointed to find out she doesn't know half the things this phone can do... I think the only reason she even chose it was because she had some bad experience with her very old Samsung...

As expected: Accessories. Pure sweet margin for carriers. Which also ties into my paranoia about 2/16 models with some carriers: 2/16 = more sales and more sales = more accessory sales. Mo' money and mo' margin. Let us hope both models are offered by carriers. Narf!

There were no 805 issues and the MDM 9635 is new.

Modems | Qualcomm

I know that you and a lot of people want replacing those components to be as simple as as changing colored Legos but it's just not.

Radio frequency motherboards are not trivial. Up the frequencies, up the data transfer rates and it requires a whole new board design so that your device doesn't fail due to parasitic effects creating sneak circuits thanks to the magic of alternating current creating rotating magnetic fields that in turn translate into other alternating currents on other wires where they don't belong.

While I love the idea of having an 805, does anyone know which design went through the FCC? A new design would certainly require a new blessing by the Friendly Candy Company.

Back to trying to catch up with posts in this thread.

Plan A: As soon as it is available, I turn in my EDGE Plan G2 and get a G3.

If a G3 Prime becomes available in a month or two, see Plan A.

I might be damaged. "Need" has been replaced in my programming by "Want"

but see, I am not a gamer, don't care much about LTE-A..there must be something to convince me spend a few extra hundred dollars..

..do you think the girls will be nicer to me if I show them my G3 Prime instead of my "value" G3?
