Reason: fixed the spacing
Reason: my laptop is very heavy and my back hurts carrying it to class and lab. With this tablet I won't have to carry my laptop to class. I can also use the HDMI out to give presentations. My laptop is old and cannot handle larger slides and hence this will help me with that as well.
I will also use it to download and read papers, and won't have to take as many prints anymore. (Remember paper is also very heavy and carrying a stack causes strain in my back)
Need a moto razr for mom, she refuses to use any other phone... this will be her 4th razr. ( belive me cant fight mom she is stubborn when it comes to her phones ... hahaha)
Why? I lost my fascination with RAZR's after my last one, the D&G Gold RAZR V3i and want to re-kindle my interest in them.
My love for the RAZR really started out with the StarTAC, which I think is the predecessor to the RAZR. I moved onto a Digital StarTAC and got the RAZR V3 upon release. I went through a couple of V3's until the Gold V3i came out.
Story: I've always upgraded phones to the newest devices, but my current V3 at the time was in excellent condition. I modded everything from the firmware to the phone physically. I didn't see a compelling reason to buy the Gold V3i since my current V3 was awesome. I 'accidentally' physically broke my V3 while trying to mod it physically which rendered the phone useless.
To this day one of my friends still maintains that I broke my phone on purpose just so that I'd have a reason to buy the Gold V3i. I, on the other hand, maintain it was a mistake...honest...
Why would I do such a thing? Am I that crazy? No way.
What's so great about the new RAZR? It has a KEVLAR FIBER back! I ain't gonna be breaking that! I also don't think I'll be modding it physically. LOL.
If it's not a RAZR it would be the Samsung Galaxy LTE...
The original RAZR was an amazing phone, and this phone definitely lives up to the original's reputation. Plus it's so tough, sexy, and got Android!

Samsung Galaxy Tab and the reason i would want it is because its one of the best tablets on the market,also i do not have a tablet and carrying my laptop around with me just to use the internet and email seems like a pain a tablet can fix.
I would take the iPhone 4S because I have Android Tablet and phone, Blackberry Tablet and phone, and iPad tablet, but no Apple iPhone. This would make me a tech junkie without even knowing it.

Anything I say is my own opinion based on speculation. It does not represent the views of my employer.
Gave my laptop to my parents, my desktop is old a crappy, would really like a tablet.
Thanks

Everyone is one of them, You make the difference.
THIS PHONE I REFER TO AS "INNOVATION LIKE NO OTHER< DUAL ATTENNA'S AND SWITCHING TO DIFFERENT MODE WHEN NEEDED" IT HAS TONS ON NEW INNOVATIVE WAYS OF DOING ALOT OF THINGS SMOOTHER AND SIMPLER.
I'd love to have a device to use on the go that's bigger than my phone, but not as big and bulky as my laptop. Also I can show the hordes of people that iPads suck.
Phone History
Nokia 6160 -> Nokia 8260 -> Siemens M46 -> Motorola V300 -> HP iPAQ 6955 -> HTC Touch -> iPhone 3G 16GB Black -> HTC Google Nexus One -> Samsung Galaxy S Captivate -> Samsung Galaxy Tab -> Dell Streak -> Samsung Galaxy S Infuse 4G -> HTC Sensation 4G -> Galaxy Nexus
Why? The Bold 9900 is the apotheosis of the Blackberry experience. It's the cadillac of keyboards with a nice screen in a well crafted handset and all in that most iconic of form factors.
Rogers and Blackberry have been a partnership that said so much about Canadian innovation and commitment to excellence at a significant time in its history. The Bold 9900 expresses this and while it looks to the future it encapsulates something truly special about the past.
