[dba-Tech] Why I just destroyed my cell phone

[Gustav Brock]

Hi Jim

Yes, it is good. Rock stable and with the super clean Metro/Modern interface optimized for touch use. No tracking by Google of all my behaviours, no virus - and the hit: wireless charging.
It's a time saver too, because most of the stupid apps you may feel tempted to check out are not available, while all the serious apps I need are easily found. Add to this a very competitive price level that sets the competition back.

Also, don't forget that the current models run a true OS, Windows 10, which makes room for rethinking computing, for example the amazing HP Elite X3:

Arthur, nevertheless they do come in useful when away from your land line.
Load Avast Mobile Security and you can block calling numbers in seconds.
