I just don't get it. Try cramming all that in your pants pocket. Those big handsets were available here 5 or 10 years ago. They're kind of a gag gift. I nearly bought one for my daughter, but the audio quality was too poor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah let's get the smallest picture and worst audio possible to watch a movie. Mostly because the over 50 crowd prefer their home theater for movies, but phones are for KIDS mostly, they need to assert their independence (but not from the phone bill).

The Dude Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Just got the Samsung S20+, just another phone to me,@CECAA850 the water proof at 1.5 meters for 30 minutes may be worth it to you. My son upgraded his IPhone Se to the Xr today, except no one can remember the icloud password. Now his account is locked until we find out when and if it can be reset. I don't like having to have a ln Apple account to have a phone, it's a little annoying. I can reset my Google password easier than this. This may be the last Apple product I ever consider buying.

Coytee Posted July 12, 2020 Author Share Posted July 12, 2020 I went into town this morning. Bought a Motorola 5g I don't even know (nor really care) the model number. He said it had two antenna in it. It's currently sitting on my desk charging and updating about 30 programs in there. I've been trying to figure out how to delete some of the apps that I'll never use (Candy crush for example)... just a waste of my time. Now, if I can get a card playing app.....Euchre specifically....then it will have my attention. Can't yet figure out how to access my exede email account (need to load the POP Server stuff I think which means I'll do it after the updates) Now, it DOES have 16 contacts on the back side of it. I asked about it. He said there are accessories you can get for it that will cradle it (and now make contact with those) and you can use it (the attachment) as a projector. I didn't get into what other things it might do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WMcD Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I'm glad to hear that people like Motorola. The Galvins have done a lot for IIT, one of my schools. I had lost faith in Moto a bit. My niece has a Moto on a discount carrier and probably poor signal strength and it might have have be drowned a few times. The system is a muffled mumble machine. For good or bad I'm her telephone caretaker and have to work with it from afar. But so now I know it is not inherent in the phone. Thanks again to the Galvins and excellent Moto products and support of IIT here in Chicago. By way of background: I enjoyed the HP200LX pocket DOS computer very much decades ago. Half a CGA screeen in LCD and a fabulous QUERTY keyboard. It folds like a laptop. I'd love a cell like that. So I've got my eye on the LG dual screen. It is marketed for multitasking and gaming. It seems to have a setting for QUERTY keyboard on one sceen which is good for a fat fingered guy like me and the high rez OLED screens. One reviewer mentioned they're viewable in sunlight when goosed up. I dunno. Funny story there. One time I was at the shadeless lakefront promenade when an important call came in. I had to make excuses for delay, take off my backpack, and put my jacket over my head backwards to see the cell phone screen. I got the assignment but looked like an idiot to onlookers. Anyway, the LG looks like a winner and less expensive than similar units on the market. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdOKV4AhiW0 WMcD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
