    Looking for phone recommendations

    I thought I'd update that I picked up a Pixel 4a 5g used from a very nice woman on FB. I don't know if I could be happier. It's almost identical in size to my Nokia. It works flawlessly and WAY better. Signal strength is fantastic. The battery is at 25% after 42 hours. Android 12 is taking some...

    Looking for phone recommendations

    Anyone have opinions on older Pixels, the 3 and 3a? They seem like perfectly good phones.

    Looking for phone recommendations

    The more I look, the more I like the Pixels. 4a, 4a 5G, 5, all fine for me. I'm not a demanding user at all. Although the lack of headphone jack on the 5 is tough for me. I don't think I want an XL due to the size.

    Looking for phone recommendations

    Thank you for the advice. Keep it coming!! I hadn't thought of 4g being a problem. I see a fair amount of 4G phones still being sold by AT&T. I'll put the 4a 5G and 5a 5G on my list. I was also looking at some smaller Motorolas but it's so confusing to compare them. I want to stay away from...

    Looking for phone recommendations

    I'm on AT&T and apparently my Nokia 7.1 isn't acceptable anymore so I need to find an "approved" phone. The specs and size are similar to the Pixel 4a, which I'm considering. I'm looking for more phone suggestions along those lines. I like smaller phones as I have short fat fingers, and I like...

    No Android 11?

    Here's my view of it, I paid a measly $210 for a brand new 7.1 recently. It already had 10 on it and it runs fantastic. It will continue to run great for a long time. Apple offers many yearly OS upgrades, but once you're a few upgrades out of date, plenty of apps are no longer available and stop...

    My Nokia 7.1 review

    One thing that has really driven me crazy about this phone is that it is slick like an ice cube. You can't leave it sitting on anything that isn't perfectly flat and level.

    My Nokia 7.1 review

    I never made it down the page far enough to see Nokia. Thanks!! I'd have asked my Nokia questions here had I known.

    My Nokia 7.1 review

    As you may have seen, I had a HORRIBLE S7. With some advice here and my own research I decided on a Nokia 7.1. I leaned towards Nokia because I loved my Win Phones, they use Stock Android, and the screen and body size were close to what I wanted. It has been great! I restored a backup which got...

    Setup as new phone or restore from backup?

    I'm about as done as I can be. The restore got the most important thing, my text messages. The rest is kind of sporadic. Most apps came in just fine. Some were greyed out as they were Samsung and not coming to the Nokia Party. Some apps were already signed in, some not. Outlook seemed to know...

    Setup as new phone or restore from backup?

    Not worried about malware, it was just full of Samsung S### and didn't know what would transfer. I suppose if I don't like the restore I can wipe it again?

    Setup as new phone or restore from backup?

    Hi all, In previous posts I whined about how horrible my S7 is and contemplated a new phone, possibly a Nokia. I just this morning received a new Nokia 7.1. I have google backing up my S7. Should I restore one of those to this new phone, or set it up as new? I need to keep my text messages.

    Advice on a new Nokia phone (or other)

    I think this may be the one but if anyone has any last suggestions I'd like to hear them. Funny story, I had been messing with my beloved old Windows phone and it was in the car with me. My S7 kept dropping calls and I got angry and whipped the SIM out of it and put it in the Win phone. Worked...

    Advice on a new Nokia phone (or other)

    My Amazon Bargain S7 sucks. I used to love my Nokia Windows phones and their newest phones seem to be a great value. Also they seem to have Stock Android. I'm looking to stay near the size of my 145mm tall S7. I'm seeing 5.1, 6.1, 6.1 Plus, 7.1, not sure if anyone has advice that could help.
