derrickdj1 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I have the Galaxy S8 which is a bada*& phone and heading to the store tomorrow for the S9. IMHO, these are the leading phones even though I can't get the wife from keeping the iphone and the Galaxy S8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USNRET Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I have the S7 Edge, my second personal cell phone. My first was a Motorola bag phone. I am trapped with an iPhone by work, hate it. Does my phone ring? Yes = keeper When making / receiving a call can both parties hear the conversation? Yes = keeper Can I see the screen? Yes = keeper Does the battery last thru my normal day? Yes = keeper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I currently have the egde7.what are the benefits of the S9 and Note9 over the Edge, besides adding $33 to my monthly bill? TY Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 The 9 has stereo speakers, a dynamic camera that can change the apeture size. Point it at your dinner and it will give you a calorie count, lol. Not a must have but, if you are in the market for a new phone, Samsung is at the top of the list of over iPhone and Google Pixel.

Administrators Chad Posted March 8, 2018 Administrators Share Posted March 8, 2018 I'm a big fan of my Pixel 2, for what it's worth. It's got a really nice camera on it. Wish I could talk my wife into moving away from the iPhone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 4 years old and I still have the original battery that will still go all day on a charge. if it were to go out it would cost about 13 dollars and about 30 seconds to replace. I also just added more memory to it by purchasing a mini SD card for next to nothing. As long as it still works, I'll keep using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarheel Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I do not have a mobile phone. I hear they're fun. I see folks staring at them all the time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillyBob Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I don't have one, either. If I am away from the house, I don't want to be bothered by a phone, especially people trying to sell me an extended warranty on my car. I find myself going the other way. Afraid to say, I have met a lot of very nice folk on the internet ... but, I prolly wouldn't have it, if the wife dinna NEED it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cell phones are probably hard to use with a walker anyways so you're better off without one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus it's hands free allowing me to keep both hands on the walker. Where is Mike with a video of everyone sitting at the table all staring at their phone? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
