Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
On the phone side of things:
- I was going to do the LG G6 for my aunt's son but adding it up the tax and shipping cancels out the deal I would have had, so a Nokia 6.1 it is. Thankfully, it comes with a screen protector and case so I'm done with that.
- Seeing the Product Red Xr makes me want the red iPhone 8, even with the black front. It sounds nice but I don't know if I'll actually do it though.

My wife still has her Product Red 8+ and let me tell you, if you put a case on it you'd never know it's red. It's a gorgeous bar of soap without one though.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
I believe it lol! I would surely get a clear case. I'm following some listings in hopes that I can get one cheaper than the current option I have (to get an 8) without the pretty red.( I have a Apple gift card from trading in the SE.)
If not a 8, I could just get my battery replaced in the 7 before the end of the year but that's less fun.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
I watched the video. Here are my observations:
1. Audio is better on Pixel 2 in video mode.
2. Details in shadows are better on Pixel 3.
3. Colors are more natural on Pixel 3.
4. Pixel 3 seems to let more light in - closer to iPhone than Samsung though.
5. Wide angle selfie camera adds a bit of value.
Overall there's a bit of improvement to the Pixel 3 cameras over Pixel 2. Not enough to justify an upgrade if you are happy with the Pixel 2.
Of course, if you are a chronic phone switcher like me....

I was looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this. Thank you for sharing. This video kind of made me want to consider getting a Pixel 2 again sometime down the line.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
I don't know if it's because I just had a birthday or if it's because of something I heard or both even, but I'm wondering if I'm really having second thoughts about various things or if it's something else that has me feeling this way.

Birthdays always bring about reflection. Especially when hitting 30.
My 30s were good. Lots of changes in life, really unexpected ones.
40s had more changes but getting older sucks sometimes.
Life is an interesting journey.
Did you mention your birthday or did I miss it? Our did I forget already?

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
It's okay, I think I forgot to because the week before was a lot going on for me in various areas of life.
I believe you on the reflection bit and about life being a journey. It didn't feel like one when I turned 28 but this time, it does.

Some updates might be longer than others. As a few devices have already been spoken for

Agreed!
Edit: Aw. Well, we'll take what you can give.

I have always maintained that the biggest reason why I use the Pixel is the camera.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
Found a potentially sneaky good pair of wireless headphones I'll try in the next few weeks. If they are good as they appear, then phones like the Mate 10 Pro and XZ2 will leapfrog the V35.
I'm still getting a V35 regardless. But, if I get decent audio on the Pixel 2, I'll be deciding if I want better audio, micro SD card and Qi (XZ2) vs bigger battery battery life and more versatile camera (Mate 10 Pro). Why would I bench the Pixel 2 for either of those phones? For sacrificing good camera, more pocket friendly dimensions and better software updates to gain those features. If Pixel 3 was cheaper, I'd get that and be OK.
