    S20 FE... still worth it?

    I purchased my S20 FE (Verizon) some five months ago. I am totally satisfied with the phone. And I refuse to join the line of those who are always chasing the better mousetrap and spending lots of money to do so. What can the S21 or S22 do that the S20 FE cannot? A few more pixels on...

    Anyone RSVP to pre-order the S21?

    I thought about it, laughed about it - - and forgot about it. When does it stop? When do cellular consumers stop chasing the holy grail? Gonna make a sizable money expenditure to realize a fraction-of-a-second increase? Not I.

    Miss my 10+

    I have come to find the Note 10+ overly bulky. One-hand operation can be a chore. I have, in fact, dropped the device a couple of times. I purchased a Galaxy S10+ for my wife a earler this year. Being an Apple devotee, she opted to return to her I-phone. I have put the S10+ on my line and could...

    Note 10 Plus Phone Volume Booster

    Purchased my Verizon Note 10 Plus two days ago. My sole beef, thus far, is the volume during phone calls is to low for my tastes; noticeably lower than my Galaxy S9+. Has anybody found an app/fix that can raise the phone volume? Thank you in advance for your assistance.

    S8 - Verizon - Charging and Power Drain

    If this has been posed before, please pardon the redundancy. I am on an S8+ Verizon. I have owed it for four months without any problems. Ever since the recent Oreo upgrade, the device takes significantly longer to charge; albeit through a wireless charger or via traditional wall-plug...

    Is anyone leaving the S8s for any S9?

    No. I am done chasing the Holy Grail - - especially over minor improvements that amount to a handful of air when analyzed objectively. "Keeping Up with the Jones's" gets ridiculously expensive after a while. My S8+ meets my needs.

    S8 Borders sensitivity: HARRRRRR!!!

    I confess, I, too, miss bezels. It annoys me to no extent when the bloody thing launches a program I have no need of at the moment. A case has been of some help. But given the cost of this device - - why???

    Are you switching to the S9/S9+?

    I'm done chasing the Holy Grail. Enough already! Until and unless the "upgrade" is overwhelmingly significant - - my S8+ is just peachy.

    pixel 2 XL day 13 of the 14 day return window

    I bailed. I had returned my Galaxy S8+ because the Pixel 2 XL caught my eye. However, for my semi-arthritic hand it was just too much real estate to hold comfortably - - back to the Galaxy S8+. A good phone - - just not good for me.

    Do you still recommend the Pixel 2?

    Perhaps I am Phone-Fickle. Over the past two months (thanks to my status with Verizon), I have used a Samsung Galaxy S8+, Samsung Note 8 and, presently a Google Pixel 2 XL. My thirst for the Note 8 (I was a Note 7 guy before they began exploding) was unquenchable. However, I found the Note 8...
