Don't remind me, that was such a huge disappointment to not see it sink.

Today I ordered a new cell phone, my S4 Active is 2 years old. Mostly replacing due to the fact the charging flappy waterproof cover is worn out and I'm scared to take it in the water now. I could send it off to Samsung to get repaired, but I do want a new phone with Android L and a better camera. Battery life is also horrid even with a new OEM battery. Two hours of screen on time will murder the battery. I ordered the Sony Z3 Compact from the Sony Store factory unlocked. It has magnetic charging so the flappy cover will never get worn out. No carrier bloatware crap on this baby! Also, with normal not insane use it will last 2-3 days per charge! WHAT!!!!

se la vie:
When the flappy cover gets worn out, you must get a newer model.

I go three days on a charge now, although it takes 8 hours to charge. And I'm on my phone nonstop.

Yup, this new device will do that..without a huge battery and it's waterproof to 5ft. Gotta love technology.

The battery I linked to is 7500maH, that phone is 2600maH. Not even close.

Newer more efficient technology. Your S4 is the same as my S4 Active just not waterproof. They eat battery like a fat kid loves cake. Just like comparing an old car with a big V8 that gets 12mpg and has 200hp from 30 years ago to a modern inline 6 that gets 300hp and 30mpg. Instead of throwing a bigger gas tank at the new phone, they make them get better MPG with more horsepower. Both the S4 and the Z3c have the same battery size, just the S4 is 2 years old tech. One gets 12-15hrs per charge, the other gets 60+ hours per charge. Imagine in 2 more years what we'll have.

My flappy cover is worn out, but I'm afraid getting a new one will cost me 1/2 of my income.

Went out drinking with the original crazy one, the one that was/is engaged. None on the ski though, I don't like riding passengers they slow you down. My tweaks worked though, I'm up 2 mph to 66 mph on the GPS. Got a few things I can to on the stock motor and should get it close to 68 by the weekend.

ric - we drive lifted truck because fat chicks can't jump.. same applies to boats. buddy has a 22 donzi name "whales slow me down" if you are not in a bikini or small you are not allowed to ride.. too many fish in the sea to mess around with a chunky monkey slowing us down..

The female life jacket I bought for the ski is size small. If you can't fit, you can't ride.
