Happy to be back with a reliable Nexus 6

[NJ Fred]

After est-driving a Blackberry Priv and an LG V10, I opted for the ill-fated Samsung Galaxy Note 7 (Verizon). Now that the replacement Note 7's have been declared as possible unsafe - - enough is enough.

Verizon will accept my Note 7 for refund. This morning I was happy when they reactivated my Nexus 6.

Even happier since the Android 7.0 update was installed just one hour ago.

Moral of the story - if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Chasing the allegedly better mousetrap can be a fool's errand every so often.

Wouldn't want to be the CEO at Samsung right about now!

Good to be home!

Glad that worked out! Bumpy ride - how well did you like that BlackBerry?

 

[NJ Fred]

Not a bit, being candid. I used a Blackberry (various models) for almost a decade at work. The Android-based Priv proved disappointing. Its physical keyboard is literally microscopic in size. And, the device is bulky and somewhat awkward.

The 6" screen of the N6 was my original attraction to the device. Once I rooted thus enabling the notification LED (via Light Flow) I found myself pleased with the handset.

I am eager to handle the upcoming Pixel once Verizon has floor models to fiddle with. Again, my hesitancy will be the downsizing of the display screen.

That's changing of quiet a few phones. I would also love the now 7 if not for the battery problems. But how about the V10? How was your experience with it? Seems to have a good camera.

The camera is, in fact, quite good. It simply didn't meet my personal needs.

Now that my Note 7 is back with Verizon and I have an upgrade available, I intend to peruse the LG V20 when it hits the shelves.

I checked one out Sunday at an ATT store. I was really impressed.

P.S. Corp store for live model.
