    So, is the Z Flip3 as interesting as you expected? ?

    Getting one just for fun. Still have the Note10 Plus in pristine condition, the Note20 Ultra and an S20 Ultra if any real work needs to be done. If there'd have been a Note21 SuoerMegaUltra I'd have zeroed-in on that. Someday, maybe a Z Fold 5 will be brought into the 'fold'.

    Fold 2 feels expensive

    There's a scene where the two youngsters are playing with night vision equipment and the park's attorney is the one who says something like, "If it's heavy, it's expensive."

    Fold 2 feels expensive

    Rule of Thumb: If it's heavy, it's expensive. I had that notion reinforced when I first saw Jurassic Park (1993).

    Verizon turned on 5G nationwide.

    I hadn't had anything like that downloaded. I downloaded two apps and saw 37MBS and 1.5MBS. The only time I've ever run a speed test was in association with the setup of Ring.

    Verizon turned on 5G nationwide.

    It doesn't surprise me though given everything I've read. Unlike the TV commercial which compares 5G being like a 12-lane highway to 4G being a two lane dirt road. This is the nascent stage that we are in.

    Verizon turned on 5G nationwide.

    I was surprised. I'm in southeastern Pennsylvania and 4G has been solid here for several years. I turned off the WiFi on my Note20 Ultra with Xfinity Mobile just to see if I would notice any difference in performance but there's no real impression that it's demonstrably 'better. Maybe it's time...

    Verizon turned on 5G nationwide.

    The 5G icon appeared on my two phones so I took a screenshot to commemorate the big moment. Reminds me of how it felt when 4G started spreading out on Verizon in 2011.

    T-Mobile users make sure you're using a 5G SIM card.

    It may be some time before it becomes a factor for me, Mike. Possibly when travel becomes more like the routine it was I'll get to those cities where 5G is gaining traction.

    The roll-out of 4G wasn't this entertaining.

    Careful when you trade in a phone with Gazelle to upgrade to the Note 20

    It's inexcusable for them to have put you through the wringer like that. Thank you for giving a heads-up to everyone.

    Lens fogging?

    Yeah, well, my stepson was setting up a Roomba and a Bissell robot vacuum cleaner. He also moved the coffee island that was up against one wall in the kitchen. He just placed the trashcan there without considering the A/C vent. The trash was cold. When I poured the hot coffee grounds into the...

    Lens fogging?

    Well, I don't like to brag.

    Lens fogging?

    My stepson placed the trashcan just off the kitchen directly over an A/C vent on the floor. We had figured out a way to refrigerate our trash!. When I threw the still-hot coffee grounds into the trashcan we had a sudden, but drastically scaled-down, thunderstorm. I'm dramatizing what actually...
