G-Phone

Looks like it is going to give i-phone a run for the money. I would be interested. But I think they are only going to run on T-moblie, so that means I will not get one.

I will see TF on Monday evening. I will her sign in and post a testament to my uncanny ability to locate and exploit this wondrous resource.

So. The new Google phone is the Pixel.

I was teetering on the verge of upgrading my Note 4 to the 7, when that blew up in Samsung's face.

The Pixel XL seems to be the biggest benefactor of Samsungs bad luck. There are a couple draw backs, like the Verizon exclusivity.... But then I was considering switching carriers to either blue or red anyway. Pink is fine near home, but I've had no service far too much to stay. I had yellow before pink, and had similar issues, just in different places. The thing that made me switch was the lack of signal on my front porch.

So, red is fine. I forget what the other negative thing was. It's not very pretty maybe.

And back ordered until 11/18... But 8 can wait.

What do you think of this phone, nerds?

Oh. No removable memory card. That kind of sucks. So pick 32 or 128 gb. That's some apple bullshit. It's gonna be a pain moving all my shit from the old phone.

Pixel is unlocked and can operate on all networks. verizon is the only wireless carrier selling it, and If you need a BLUE PHONE, you have to buy it from verizon. But regardless of where you buy it, best buy, Google store, eBay, whatever, the phone's ready to work on all the networks.

I'm on a wait list for the128 gb version.

I think I'll await your review then. Are you going XL by chance?

I like the blue. I would choose that, everything being equal... But if I can just buy one cash and not deal with the provider change until after the current maelstrom of changes subsides, I think I don't really care so much about what color the fucking thing is. I typically buy 11teen cases of varying hue and ruggedness shortly after getting a new phone, anyways.

I say phone. That's not at all what these things are anymore. What else do you own that gets more time in front of your eyes? Phones go in your ear. These devices are our window to the world at this point.

An all day battery and a fast reliable OS is like having 20/20 vision. I'm adding 'phones' to my list of things that you should not spare expense on. The list:

1. Your Bed
2. Shoes
3. Cell phone
4. Helmets
5 ...
