My Samsung plus Note 9 is dieing, sadly he is currently on what they call phone hospice. He is barely operating. It was a great run and he was put through some hell but my note 9 is leaving us.

He survived a drop off a 2 story building, fell into a pool and was once locked all alone in my office overnight.  It never complained. Sadly he fell into a toilet and it cracked his brain. We will pull the plug on Tuesday or the Sim card.

Samsung makes a great phone but...

 

T-Mobile has a great deal on the flip phone Razor23 plus for only $500.00. The screen is 6.9 inches and the reviews have been pretty solid. 

I can't remember not owning a Samsung phone. The phone wil be here Tuesday. Anyone have a Motorola?

Sorry for your loss, but I wound not recommend any flip smart phone. My mom had one, a Samsung Galaxy flip, actually had 3 of them in a span of 2 years because the screens just can't take the bendy toll. She finally went to back to a normal smartphone after the 3rd time that the replacement they sent her failed after only 7 months. The tech is just not there yet, imho.

Yeah, I don't see those bending screens holding up well over time. I worked for Motorola for several years right when they were getting him the smartphone game. Left shortly after they sold to Google knowing Google had no long-term plans on hardware. They wanted Motorola for the patent trove. Motorola is owned by Lenovo (China) now.

Personally, I've been using Google Pixel phones flashed with Graphene for years to get away from as much of the spyware as possible.

Well the flip phone didn't last long. I enjoyed it for 2 minutes. During the initial launch it overheated and shutdown numerous times. We had to hard reset it but it would only stay on for 30 seconds. I'm sending it back and now they're out of stock. So no new phone for me.

 

In lieu of flowers the family (me) is asking for cold hard cash.

I think Samsung makes the best of the folding phones, but for me, the screen just wasn't it.

I have no problem with the slab of phone now a days.  I don't see a great benefit to me of a folding device.  Cool, but the tech just isn't there.

May the Gods of Mobile Data give you good coverage in your future 😃

      Worst Panthers Preseason Yet

      By Shotgun · Posted

      The panthers are such a trash organization at this point that all the huddle can do is argue about which panthers team is historically the worst…good times.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Well, hope they're not worried about a torn Labrum or Rotator Cuff, as someone who went through that myself, I know those don't have anything show up on X-Rays but from the MRI, so this is kinda a nothing update, hope it's not a tear or his season is already over if they decide to do surgery now. Which is basically what would be needed to get him to 100% for the start of next season's training camp if it's a labrum.  If he plays the season with it and then does surgery, he's not going to be ready for camp and probably not the start of the season either.

      Preseason over..2025 predictions

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I always try to not pay much attention to a team’s preseason win/loss record. The 1982 Washington and 2021 LA Rams both lost every game in the preseason and went on to win the Super Bowl, whereas the 2008 Detroit Lions and 2017 Cleveland Browns both won every game in reason and went on to lose every regular season game. There’s many examples of teams that lose in preseason that go on to have good seasons, but equally there are teams that lose in preseason and that continues in the regular season. Which will we be?  I think our floor is a handful of wins, while our ceiling will probably be around the 9-10 win mark. The latter will require significant improvement from the whole team and coaching staff, and will also need Bryce to play like the QB we drafted him to be. I want to be optimistic and predict a winning season, but it’s really difficult as a Panthers fan!
