- So my weird ideas are the following:
-Sell the Pixel and use the SE instead
-Get a iPhone 7 in good condition for a nice price
-Get a RED one
-Get a battery case for said iPhone 7
If I did the iPhone 7 thing, I can't keep that and the Pixel. Weird for me generally but probably not too weird.
I learned that with the Pixel, the connectivity matters (especially at work) so I'll rather get a phone with similar connections(?) to it.04-27-2017 10:51 PMLike 0 -

- Well, the long time regulars around here know I used to like Sony a lot more...at one point I had the tablet + phone + Smartband + watch made by Sony. I just got tired of their iterative approach and they never got the camera to a level I liked. It's kinda like HTC...I know if I buy HTC right now, it has to be the 10 because of the headphone jack and the DAC built-in. Nothing else would grab me. And Moto lost me from the time Lenovo bought them.
The plus is in the market there are lots of good options. the hard part is deciding what is the best for you. It's why I'm glad with the XL and the Mi Note 2 - they fit what I want.- Share

You are right about choices for sure. You made good ones for sure. Meeting the middle ground without totally sacrificing something important for me to have in a phone is hard.
I just wish that there were more smaller choices that were easier for me to try out. Like the Samsung A3 2017 seems like it would be nice to try out but finding one is difficult, mainly one that has bands that are supported here. Not really a Samsung person but it seems solid.04-28-2017 12:15 AMLike 0 - Wow, sounds like you were a major Sony fan! I agree about the cameras in my small experience with the compacts (z5 and X) and Z3. I get the HTC thing, it makes sense to me.

That information is very helpful though, thank you. I'll think hard on the iPhone 7 idea before doing anything. Well, that's what I say now lol. Going to try though.Last edited by libra89; 04-28-2017 at 08:12 AM.

- I found an iPhone 7 with a battery case and such in nice condition from someone with excellent ratings so this is happening. I would have went for another color but it's alright.
I'm so glad that this is my only vice and that I don't really buy things otherwise or else it will suck for me.- Share

- It's a very windy blustery day outside. Allergy season is in full swing, the super bloom isn't helping things either.

- I can't stand iOS because there are a very few simple things I would like to do that Apple just flat out refuses to let me do ergo I steer clear of their idevices.

- I agree. Lack of a file manager is the biggest deal breaker for me. I also don't want to buy dongles I know I'd lose in order to use headphones.

If my workplace was better, it would be fine but it's not. It's kind of like tasting raw honey but then going back to the honey with added sugars. Not terrible but a noticeable difference in taste.- Share

- That's understandable. Yeah the dongle thing is going to be interesting. I never really use headphones anyway though. I considered the 6s but the connectivity is not as good as the Pixel is and that is the true reason why it's hard for me to go back to the SE after using a Pixel.

- Well that's partially true. I do have an iPhone 7, iPad 2, iPad Air 2 and maybe getting the new iPad or another iPad Air 2. Those devices are used by other family members who are willing to put up with iOS idiosyncrasies.

Notifications are handled poorly.
Can't get the layout of the pages to my satisfaction.
Siri doesn't understand me 90% of the time.
Lastly, other phones now have better cameras!- Share
