    Factory Unlocked and No Verizon Voicemail

    Hmm. Didn't work for me. I decided to have unanswered calls forwarded to my google voice number instead. That way I get all voice mails on my laptop, tablet, etc.

    The smaller note 10, who bought it and how do you life it?

    Better size for me. Miss the big screen a little, but much easier to hold and use in one hand. So far, battery seems to deplete at a rate consistent with my Note 9. On -screen fingerprint sensor is okay, but after a few hours I had to register my fingerprint, as it stopped recognizing the...

    My Note 10 wont turn off when I press the power button!

    Yah, that button is now dual purpose Bixby/power. You have to go to Settings to custom configure to be a power button.

    Received my Note 10 today (unlocked, ordered direct from Samsung)

    I definitely like the form factor. Much less bulky than my Note 9. Thinner, lighter, smaller. Camera hole is fine and I barely notice it. Not a fan of the pen gestures, since it is so hard to find the button on the s-pen without looking at the pen. I also received the new flip case...

    Which keyboard case?

    I have the Samsung bookcover keyboard, and it works great.

    My experience with an unlocked Note 9 on AT&T

    Agree re:GV. I love that I can access my messages and settings via the web.

    My experience with an unlocked Note 9 on AT&T

    Re: imei and number sync. That might be it. My Note 9 was confused about Call Forwarding (got a network error when trying to change the setting) since CF had been previously activated on my 8. So I called AT&T and they updated the IMEI to try to fix that. Didn't help that issue, but perhaps...

    I tried the Note9 for a bit at my local store - Here are my thoughts

    My Note 9 arrived today, currently have a Note 8. Came over from Apple last year. The incremental improvements in the Note 9 are meaningful to me (low light photos, battery life, pen with remote, more storage). My only concern is that I went with an unlocked version on AT&T,so I expect to...

    Thinking of making the plunge from iPhone

    First, does not work in horizontal mode (she mounts her phone in landscape when driving). Second, apparently it has to be straight on. So lifting up the phone to unlock is needed. Third, the phone apparently has to think for a few moments before unlocking, so there is a tendency to swipe up...

    how good is the fingerprint scanner?

    Better than my iPhone 7 Plus. On the 7, I was having to reset my print about once per week. I set it on my Note 8 and it has been fast and spot-on for six weeks.

    Thinking of making the plunge from iPhone

    My wife absolutely HATES her X. The notch, touch delays, goofy control center, lack of screen sharpness compared to my Note 8, and very picky Face ID. She is returning it and going back to her SE.

    Thinking of making the plunge from iPhone

    I made the jump from an iPhone 7 Plus to a Note 8 and from an iPad to Tab S3 a few weeks ago. Very happy with the change, but my needs and perspective are probably different from yours. My responses: 1) iOS users who use iMessage will not be able to send you messages. But for me, it was an...

    Bixby 2.0

    Disagree. I came from an iphone 7p and absolutely hated siri. Rarely gave proper responses to inquiries. About as frustrating as the fingerprint ID. Felt I was paying for a product in perpetual beta. Bixby is a little better so far for me. So, siri may wake up, but when she does she is...
