Maybe I should take care to get a warrantied one from a EU dealer... You can get magnetic connection plugs (that also do data just fine), and this reduces the wear of the usb-port substantially. Have been using that on all my phones since galaxy 6, and BB priv. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I know – I've been using them on all kinds of devices for quite some time now, starting with the Pro1, but at least the type I used didn't prevent the Pro1 socket from breaking... 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe it also was a thing between the specific connectors I've been using (and am still using on a lot of other devices) and the Pro1/Pro1X. Other than most other devices, like, for example, the Titan Slim phone, the connector used to have some play when inserted into the socket. With my next phone (ordered the Magic V2 from the manufacturer's shop yesterday when I saw they have a 300 € discount right now) or when I get one of the Fxtec phones back to use, I'll try to make sure to use a connector that fits tightly...

jakfish 121 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 (edited) @Rob. S. An honest write-up of the Slim and its pros and cons. I've been daily driving my Pocket since September and it has not failed me once, phone-wise. Callers can actually hear me--who knew! That said, the square screen can make some internet sites difficult and I'm actually drifting to the idea of a Slim because I stink at typing regardless of the kb and the Slim's rectangular display would probably be an easier thing when browsing. I imagine we will all end up with foldable phones. I've yet to trust the current hardware, but it's bound to become standard. As usual, the more things change, the more they stay the same. I still have this machine and it used mobile data, and the Sony Tablet P almost worked as an actual phone: https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/sony-tablet-s-and-tablet-p-take-aim-at-the-ipad/ Edited March 3 by jakfish 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
