The folding phone looks sick. Not worth the price though when I can buy a top of the line phone, plus a tablet and still be cheaper.

I do miss folding and slider phones. My favorite Android phones were my Motorola Droid 2 and Droid 4, with the slide out keyboard. They were so much nicer for surfing forums, emailing, and texting.

You could buy a top of the line phone, a tablet and a laptop for that price

I kind of want

That is super freaking cool and impressive. Could be really nice for those who travel a lot for business. You don’t have to carry separate things through the airport if you don’t want too.

Price is steeeep. But for basically a phone and tablet combo not surprising. If this was an apple product people would buy it without questioning the price honestly

Just got back my Pixel 3XL a little over an hour ago. Still setting it up, but so far I like it.

Am I the only one here who remembers when smartphones had plastic screens? $2000 for a phone where the screen is going to look all hazy and foggy in a few months seems like a really bad idea

I remember using the Palm Treo line of phones. Those were one of the original "smart" phones. Well.... Basically a pda/phone combo. Could sideload apps, music, and movies with the only restriction being that the loaded content needing to be in the correct format. On top of that, the battery would last a long time.

Apparently flip phone sales are on the rise because people don't want to spend $800+ on a smartphone and people are sick of having social media and other distractions at their finger tips.

I had the Treo 650 and loved that damn phone. Thought I was badass because I could access MySpace on it. Lol.

That and downloading and watching movies while everybody looks in awe. I had Nacho Libre on there and had to have watched it several times over on there. Lol. Sad part was, I wasn't a big fan of the movie.

Have any of you guys tried Metro by T-Mobile ?

 

[Marko]

Thinking about getting rid of Sprint. Phone calls keep breaking up. Text and internet work great though. What do you guys recommend? Verizon, AT&T, T-mobile, etc..?

 

[Mook]

Verizon will have the best coverage but youll likely pay the most and they tend to gimp their phones with their own apps and bullshit.

I have zero experience with them beyond what I read tho.

 

[Mook]

See second part

I use TMO and Sprint through Google FI.

 

[Chester Copperpot]

I've had AT&T for a long time now. Have honestly zero complaints but I'm also on an iPhone so... Unlike Androids, they don't have issues.

 

[Mook]

Google FI, their own network that uses TMO and Sprint towers.

We've mentioned it numerous times in various threads. Its cheap but you're stuck using TMO and Sprint...which really hasnt been an issue for me.

 

[Marko]

I cancelled my AT&T land line phone a week ago. Just to save money. Now my new iPhone XS with Sprint. Phone calls keep breaking up.

I have WiFi at home. I tried that too. And the calls are still breaking up. I have Comcast Xfinity. Maybe I’ll try to get another landline.

 

[Marko]

I also thought about just getting a second phone with another carrier. Should I try a prepaid plan? Or do those suck?

I posted in here because I’m thinking about getting an Android

 

[EmersonHart13]

I was ATT Prepaid after being ATT postpaid for a while. The service is exactly the same.

 

[Eagle]

S10 or Pixel 3? And go.

 

[Mook]

If you are used to Samsung, s10. Otherwise, Pixel will always get my vote.

 

[Marko]

I walked past these new phones earlier. They’re really nice. I’m bored with iPhones. That’s all I ever used.

 

[Eagle]

I'm definitely a Sumsung swinger. Although I hate Bixby - wish I could disable/remove it from my current S9.
