    Thinking of making the plunge from iPhone

    I went from the 7+ to the Note 8. Had it 2 weeks and went back to the iPhone X. The X is the better phone I have ever had. I wasn't getting text messages on time. 99% of the people I know have iPhone and I was the odd ball out. My significant other had iPhone and I liked Apple watch better than...

    Note 8 on Verizon

    buy from Samsung direct and trade in a device for the $300 credit. it's new so you have warranty and no upgrade fee. boom. or if you want to pay over time with no interest but it on a CC and pay if off before the due date (typically 40-60 days)

    Considering remvoing my screen protector

    I'm a using a skinomi one from amazon for like $8. it's wet apply and not the best but I just can't go naked. a tempered glass protector has saved my iPhone 7+ twice but I haven't seen anything worth while for the note so a wet apply is my current solution

    Note 8: DILEMMA

    Welp! I made the choice to try again. I didn't buy used this time as I didn't want to chance it being blacklisted again. I bought an $80 lg g4 online that I will use for the $300 Samsung trade in promotion. I also had a BB gift card and used it to pick up an open box gear S3 frontier for $245...

    Note 8: DILEMMA

    I will chime in as I am in the EXACT same boat. I am HEAVILY invest in I message and Find My Friends. I also use FaceTime literally every single day. I don't have a PC as I ditched my Mac for a ipad Pro 10.5. It simply works for me in terms of web, video, and simple photo editing. About 2...

    Be careful when buying used - Note 8 story

    Well over the last 5 years I have bought and sold maybe 5 devices total and saved hundreds by doing so. I learned my lesson this time. Btw I never knew I would be the 4th owner or the fact that he was "selling it for his brother". These would of been red flags.

    Chase said if PayPal doesn't refund me that they will take care of it. Just to document everything which I have. They are sending a dispute packet. If it is not resolved I need to send in the packet

    Be careful when buying used - Note 8 story

    UPDATE: I first want to say I'm not sure the seller scammed me on purpose. It's a very "unique" story and I don't really know what to believe. I did receive communication from PayPal to ship the device back for a refund. I shipped it back today with tracking and it should arrive back to the...

    Be careful when buying used - Note 8 story

    Yes. I used PayPal and a Chase CC via PayPal. Chase is great. I'm a Sapphire Reserve card holder so I expect great results if need be. While we wait for PayPal to respond Chase went ahead and sent out the dispute packet to start the ball rolling (if they need to intervene). Fingers crossed...

    Next time I will bite the bullet and buy new from Samsung, BestBuy, VZW, etc. I might get another Note 8 new. Just hate to be out of all the promotions that happened.

    Be careful when buying used - Note 8 story

    So I have been an android user in the past. My first droid was the Droid X back in the day. I loved that Phone. I also use to own a Note 5 and really enjoyed it. I got suckered into the IPhone 6 and was a user of the 6, 6s, and now 7 Plus. Once Apple launched the new phones a couple weeks back I...
