    Best S21 cases. Which one(s) are you getting?

    Has anyone had personal experience with a Carved wood case? (https://www.carved.com/) They look intriguing, but I've never had (or even seen) a wood case, and I'm not familiar wit this brand.

    S21 Ultra Custom Colors revisited

    I talk to three different reps last Friday and Saturday. none could give me any information about when the Phantom Navy I'd ordered would ship. I went into Target on Sunday to see if they had the Ultra in stock just to look at. No, but there was an AT&T rep there who made me an offer I couldn't...

    S21 Ultra Custom Colors revisited

    Well, mine went the wrong way. I know have the status of "delayed", and the reps cannot give me any information about when it will be shipped. I'm wishing I'd ordered the Phantom Black... which now seems to be backordered everywhere.

    I still haven't got any update. Had your status changed before it actually was shipped?

    S21 Ultra Custom Colors revisited

    I ordered an unlocked Phantom Navy 256Gb s21 Ultra on Jan 17. At that point, I was given an expected delivery data of Feb 16, and that date hasn't changed since. No shipping information, and my credit card hasn't been charged. I chatted with a very helpful Samsung representative today, but the...

    S21 Preorder Samsung Online

    I pre-ordered the Phantom Navy Ultra / 256K. The Phantom Navy seemed so aesthetically pleasing. Yes, I will use a case, but I still will know what it looks like. Ship date has been February 16 since I ordered it (first weekend). I wasn't worried about waiting an extra month, but as I've read the...

    is the S21+ an upgrade?

    Based on the leaked specs, I couldn't see much improvement over the D20+, and the current deal Samsung is offering on the D20+ is mighty tempting. Any thoughts?

    s20 vs. s20 FE: If the price is the same...?

    Yes, I had wondered whether battery life and durability (plastic back) might not actually put the FE above the plain s20.

    s20 vs. s20 FE: If the price is the same...?

    I see that I can get an s20 through Google Fi for $699 right now, which coincidentally is the same as the s20 FE currently is going for. Given they're the same price, which one do folks think would be better (specifically for a teenager)?

    How to update OS without mobile data plan?

    Thank you... I suppose that if I take the SIM out of my primary phone and temporarily put in the OnePlus 6T, I'll be able to get the latest OS update from T-mobile, right? And I don't think there's any problem with temporarily moving my SIM , then moving it back, is there?

    How to update OS without mobile data plan?

    Hello everyone, I just bought a 6T as a backup / secondary device. I'll be using it only on WiFi, and I'm wondering how I will get OS updates since I won't be getting them from any carrier. Is there a straightforward way for me to download them from OnePlus directly? Thank you.

    Anybody use Gear S2 and Gear Fit 2 "at the same time"?

    I have the Gear S2 Classic, and I really like it. However, I don't wear this when I work out. I was thinking of getting a Gear Fit 2 to wear when I do workouts. Are there any problems in pairing both of these to my phone (a Note 8)? The way I'd like it to work is that whichever one I'm wearing...
