The typing is the crappie part. I don't think I've ever been this bad at typing plus the narrowness of the s8 to begin with.
It's overrated but it looks pretty.

Re: V40 Unlocked only $750 at B&H (Includes 256GB micro SD card promo from LG)
Well I'm not concerned about OS updates so long as it's stable. But security updates I think are important to at least get quarterly.
So I have the Pixel 2, not the XL so I'm dealing with the small screen too. But it has everything else like the 2XL and arguably a better even though smaller screen. I have noticed the audio on videos kind of sucks but I'm not a content creator, just recording my kids and family stuff. I read through the Tom's guide review of the V40 and also their comparison of it against the Note 9. They weren't very kind in the review or the comparison particularly for the camera. Will GCAM be able to use all three lenses and clean up the detail?
I definitely do miss themes. There's a part of me that wishes I'd of kept my G6 longer and not gotten this Pixel 2 but this camera is far better so that was the trade off. Storage isn't an issue, I've been fine with 64GB and I'm pretty much locked into wireless headphones though for music I would like better quality. Tough decision for sure.

As for LG, the V series is meant for media, pics, high quality audio and video. If you want something a little lower in price that offers most of what the Vseries has the G7 could be a good option. Has most of the same specs just doesn't have the OLED screen nor the triple cameras but the rest of it is the same, processor, etc.
If you want a low budget hero I've heard great things about the LG Stylo 4, they are under $300 with decent specs and a stylus. Doesn't have the functionality of an SPEN in a Note but for the price it has some uses. The camera is on the low end to though.
Hope that helps.
Honestly of you don't mind the smaller screen and big bezels the Pixel 2 is a great phone for pictures, that's the main reason I got it is for pics of kids and family stuff and it's still great for that which is why I'm struggling to leave it. The Pixel 2 XL is also an option if you want a bigger screen but they do have display issues.

Well I took the plunge and went into my Tmo store to take advantage of the trade-in offers they are offering now. Unfortunately they would not take my iPhone 6+ because of a small scratch on the case (not the screen). Tmo has become very picky on trade-ins. So, I traded my V20.
Got the $250.00 trade-in offer, 0 down, plus Tmo gave me another 35.00 for the phone since it was paid-off. Out the door, it was $80.00. EIP is 25.00 @ month for 24 months.
Still getting the phone setup but so far I'm impressed. The phone operation is silky smooth compared to my V20 and the screen is awesome. Due to differences in screen resolution between my V20 and the V40, I'm having to tweak some items to get them to look right. I believe this is a worthy update.

Re: V40 Unlocked only $750 at B&H (Includes 256GB micro SD card promo from LG)
Thanks for the reply. My wife is going to want a larger screen than the Pixel 2 has so the Pixel 2 XL was on the radar. I had been reading about the screen issue on the XL's but it seems like that issue has been pretty much fixed plus you get the 2 year warranty on it. Is it worth paying a little more for the V40 with its 64GB of internal memory vs the 30S with it's 128? It sounds like the camera may be better on the V40 so that might be the deciding factor. It's just so confusing.

The V40 only has 64GB internal memory, but LG is giving a free 264GB SD card with when you buy the device. That's more than enough space for all the pics you can take.

True enough. I'm leaning towards pulling the trigger on the V40 soon so I can get the SD card and the 2 year warranty included. It would give us a chance to put it through its paces and if my wife likes it pick one up for her down the road in a few weeks, especially if the price drops more. She really does like the moroccan blue color on the V30S though....

Just pulled the trigger on the V40 from B&H. Should be here by the middle of next week. Can't wait!! Now i guess I need to figure out a decent case for it.

I'm not sure what kind if case you are looking for. I prefer a thin non-intrusive case. Also, because I got the Moroccan Blue I got a clear case.
Here's what I got. They do sell similar ones that are colored. And you can't beat the price.

I ended up getting the Aurora Black unlocked model and went with this case. I spend too much time out at ball fields not to have a little extra protection.
