    Had my first problem

    Backup is VERY important. Fortunately I have Google Fiber so almost everything important is auto synced between computer, phone & tablets.

    Had my first problem

    Actually was a small glitch. It had worked perfect from day one. Great battery life, relatively fast on the web, and excellent camera. I picked it up off the table & would not recognize finger print or pattern. I tried several times - nothing. I decided to just reboot as a first step. That...

    Verizon Cloud - what masochistic devil designed this?

    Agree 100% - The first time I got that messg, I deleted everything from Verizon cloud. I didn't know I even had Verizon cloud storage. All of my info is backed up by Google and/or other services. I think they just want you to "BUY" extra storage.

    will 600 level the playing field?

    It could be a really big deal; unfortunately the LG V30 is the only phone available now. There may be others later this year but probably will have to wait to next year.
