haha I remember being so proud of myself using a 32MB stick memory when my class mates were still using floppies. Little did they know that it came free with my dad's Inspiron 8200.

I recently switched from smartphones to feature phone. For me, it's better. I have Nexus 7 and iPad mini, which is bigger than most smartphones. lol. I use one feature phone to tether it with wifi. I switched from HTC EVO WiMAX to a certain feature phone.

Well im a convert from android to windows phone 8 even this cheapy Nokia lumia 521 works better & the ui looks a lot cleaner than any android phone i have had.

I suppose it could be the T mobile service vs my previous virgin mobile as well but the phone is just swift compared... & i'm paying less $129 for the phone and $30 a month for 100 mins (more than enough for my needs) and unlimited text & data with 5gb worth 4g speed (more than enough again)

My plan is cheap although it can use 42Mbps connection on Softbank. I think it can do up till 3GB or 5GB without restriction.

I get about 65Mbs down and 20Mbs up with my cable internet.

I haven't tested the phone speed yet but doesn't seem bad at all.

I got about 12.14Mbps down connection in a nearby park. Not bad for a rahter small city in Kanagawa.
Up was like 1.23Mbps.

I will measure my 42Mbps phone to tether it in a city in Tokyo today. Hope I get a higher throughput there. I will post the results later.
