    S26U Case wobble

    I got an Otterbox case that cancels out the wobble. It's a formidable case. https://www.otterbox.com/en-us/heavy-galaxy-s26-ultra-case/27-58401-W0011.html

    The annual trade-in race

    The annual trade-in race

    I dropped the trade-in package off at UPS yesterday after work. I've been checking the tracking number and the package is now on the way to Ft. Worth, TX and delivery is expected manana in the afternoon. Guy at work saw me charging the old phone before I boxed it up and he said, "hey, you got a...

    A couple of questions about getting things up and running

    Getting my phone up and running with T-Mobile did not require me to put the sim card from my old S24 Ultra into the S26 Ultra. It was all accomplished via E-Sim. Just for good measure, after I was done transferring all my data and setting things up on my new phone, I went on T-Mobile's website...

    Anyone able to load Samsung Messages?

    Thanks to everyone who's posted about Samsung messages. All my texts transferred over during the smart switch, but I noticed right away it was Google messages on the new phone. I guess I'll get used to it. I've disabled some of the more annoying features. : )

    The annual trade-in race

    I got my phone yesterday and my trade it has to be back by 3/22. Today, I removed the sim card off the old phone. Logged out of all my accounts. Uninstalled everything that could be uninstalled and then factory reset it. I removed the case and the screen protector. Polished it up. And tomorrow...

    So honest opinion with privacy screen OFF

    After my first full day of using the S26 Ultra inside and outside, the screen seem better to me than the S24 Ultra. It's bright. It's crisp. Colors look amazing. I am really liking it. I haven't tried the privacy filter feature. I think I'll save that for the next time I'm on an airplane.

    S26 Plus Protectors

    I've bought LK screen protectors for my S22 Ultra and S24 Ultra. This time around, LK didn't seem to have any new product. I went with a brand that seemed very similar, LETOSAN, and, let me tell you, I was very impressed. Most flawless application ever! Three screen protectors, and two sets of...

    So when we start receiving shipments??

    I was very surprised at how fast the transfer went. I spent more time tweaking settings and I did have to install a couple of apps and delete some of the bloatware. All in all, it went very smoothly. I like the feel of the phone and the screen is quite nice.

    So when we start receiving shipments??

    I bought unlocked also. It was a breeze getting up and running on T-Mobile. I was surprised how easy it was. When I got my S24 Ultra, I wound up having to go into a T-Mobile store to finish setting it up.

    The phone was delivered this afternoon! I got the S26 Ultra 256GB in cobalt violet. Also got my accessories: an Otterbox Defender case; a 65 watt charger and tempered glass screen protectors! The phone looks and feels very nice and sleek. Love the color!

    S26 U Cases and Accessories

    I've had the LK tempered glass screen protectors on my last two phones. I was bummed that they don't seem to have any new products for the S26 series. So I went with this brand: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GFDTB1F6?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 Looks very similar to what I used to order...
