Please list the good and the bad. I'm a big emulator fan on ps1, N64, sega genisis and snes games and this would be my first smart phone so would you recommend it?

I'm only interested in peoples opinions if they OWN this phone and have used it for a while.

If you do not own this phone then please keep your opinions on the device to yourself.

is there a way to hook my desktop up to my flat screen, led tv without a vga port?

Chris D

So I have a desktop computer not even a month old its a hp pavilion 500 series and it has no hdmi port. My tv has no vga port. Are there any hdmi to vga or hdmi to usb converters so I can use my tv as a computer screen? If so where would I find one? Best buy has nothing like it so i'm kind of not very hopeful....

Answer
You certainly can get a VGA to HDMI active converter (a passive adapter only changes pin arrangements, not signal types) since VGA is usually analog and HDMI is always digital. Something like this would work (note that VGA - Video Graphics Array - is video only, so audio is a separate consideration)(also, there are many others - this is one example):

http://www.amazon.com/Nexhi-HDMI-VGACONVERTER-Audio-HDMI-Converter/dp/B0015YWV1G

But every conversion degrades the signal - if you can avoid converters you'll have better image quality. Which brings up an alternative - since it's a desktop you can find a new video card fairly cheaply (unless you intend to do intensive gaming, which implies a better computer to start with - yours is designed for "everyday" use). This does involve opening the case but this is not difficult. Here's a video showing how it can be done in just a few minutes:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YRlO-55njI and an article:
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/indepth/computers/tips-solutions/how-connect-pc-hdmi-tv

What you want to do if you decide to replace the card is be sure to get one with HDMI Out. Here's is an example:

http://www.walmart.com/ip/EVGA-GeForce-210-512MB-DDR3-PCI-Express-Graphics-Card/15739049?action=product_interest&action_type=image&placement_id=irs_middle&strategy=PWVUB&visitor_id=47157453608&category=0%3A3944%3A3951%3A1073804%3A1043744&client_guid=868360aa-c37b-4bdb-b36a-ce67733be6ec&config_id=0&parent_item_id=15172289&guid=0eb904f2-7ca6-4552-be12-d9523ba054a3&bucket_id=000&findingMethod=p13n

There are many. many others - sometimes on sale for $10 - just be sure your PSU (power supply unit) is beefy enough to handle what you get (probably need 500 watts or so). These things are highly variable and I can't be specific without knowing more than the Series # - how is it configured? Hope this helps - Good luck!
