For me it's the LG G2. It was the fastest Android phone at the time (in-store comparisons on my part) and the stacked battery lasted forever. They also added the the volume and power buttons on the back of the phone. I still like that design.

I traded in my V20 for an iPhone 7 Plus yesterday. It is a really great phone so far. For all of the reviewers that give waterproof phones a pass for having crappy sounding speakers...well the 7 Plus is really loud and sounds great. It is louder than the V20's really loud speaker (which I...

I thought about waiting to see if the Pixel 2 comes to T-mobile. Feel like I don't want to wait and find out. They decided to play the exclusive game or else I would've had one last fall.

Good points. My V20 won't see Android O for at least a year. iOS 11 could be a game changer for Apple if they don't play it safe. If I get the 7 Plus I will be using iOS 11 in about four months. Apple question: can you use Siri as a voice activated shutter on the stock camera app?

My T-mobile V20 got the May security patch today.

I was going to pick up a 7 Plus after work today, but this morning my V20 got the May security patch. Maybe Google IS spying on me. LOL I already ordered the case and screen protectors. Now I have a decision to make. Realistically the May patch is just a temporary fix and the V20 probably...

If you use a 3rd party keyboard in iOS does it automatically switch back to stock for secure inputs like passwords? Or is it up to the app developer to provide full compatibility to 3rd party keyboards and if they don't it automatically goes back to stock? Hopefully you're wrong because I...

To make it work. Sounds like the floor model I was using wasn't a good representation then. Good to know. Yeah, suppose it's not much different than buying USB C cables when I got my V20. But at least I can use those in a lot more situations. Good to hear. That will probably be my reaction...

Yeah, Apple's file system is a huge complaint from almost everyone. Not sure if it's a security thing or just outdated software. Maybe they can improve things with iOS11. But since Apple = Nintendo maybe they'll just add a dark theme in iOS11 and call it a day and ignore other customer...

Like what? On a positive note relating to Samsung security: since Samsung botched the entire release of Bixby there should be a few updates in the future to add functionality. Might as well throw in some security patches with the Bixby updates. So S8 owners may get a few bonus security...

You obviously only read the title of this thread. :D I can't speak for everyone, but I'd rather not spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars on fragile abandonware with a distorted curved screen such as the S8, especially when my V20 is a better phone.

That's good to know. It may take Intel years to catch up to Qualcomm. Kind of seems like the Intel modem was an experiment to move to all Intel in the iPhone 8. With one more year of experience maybe the newer modems from Intel will be better. It definitely is a huge concern though. Only...

Haha...yep. That turns a lot of people off. I've thought about going with the 6s Plus for the headphone jack and to save a $100. But the screen and camera and RAM and battery is better in the 7 Plus. The stupid modem thing is messing with my mind though. Not entirely sure and of course...

The question is will T-Mobile block the monthly security updates if it doesn't sell well or will Blackberry handle the security updates? If it is the later I will be getting this phone (if sold at T-Mobile).

True. May have to join AARP to get one. I think the only thing holding me back from making the switch to an iPhone 7 Plus is the fact that iOS 11 and new iPhones come out this fall. A lot of crazy rumors are swirling about both. I feel like Apple is the U.S. version of Nintendo so all of...
