Been waiting for a while for this, I played ingress for a while but i'm a massive pokemon fan so this is as close to having pokemon as i can get. Although i'm not too ecstatic that you cant battle other people, this is at least a start.

At work i have picked up a bulbasaur and a caterpie right in the shop. I think its going to be very interesting to see how it goes.

Anyone else going to have a go?]]> 4517 Mon, 02 Mar 2020 07:21:24 +0000 https://forums.overclockers.com.au/threads/mobile-phone-recommendations-ask-for-advice-here.549669/ https://forums.overclockers.com.au/threads/mobile-phone-recommendations-ask-for-advice-here.549669/ invalid@example.com (Matt P) Matt P

I noticed they have non branded Samsung 10+ and apples at similarly ridiculously low prices. The Huawei one at least has the brand name in the description.

Is this BS? What's the catch?

Seems too much...

The first mobile device to be called an “iPhone” was made by Cisco, not Apple.
It allowed the user to use the voice functions of Skype without a computer.

Apple announced its own product just 22 days later, and Cisco sued for trademark infringement.

The lawsuit was ultimately settled out of court and both companies were allowed to keep using the name.

So there !

I figured this would be fine to post in this forum, I did a search but couldn't find anything.

They seem to say it booster data signal but the reviews say it...

Little is known, with news to come on the 10th anniversary on the 17th of May.

Warning!! - the following announcement trailer contains industrial strength cringe.

Did you know, USB-C cables come in many flavours?

5 gigabit per sec
10 gigabit per sec
20 gigabit per sec
40 gigabit per sec

And Then...dependent on several different factors they also can convey electricity in certain wattages...in each of the different speed ratings above

Cheap and nasty can convey 15W - it won't charge anything except a phone.
