It's been so long since I've used the website here...literally a few years now. I see it's the same as ever - which drove me to the mobile apps. I forgot people's titles as you don't see that in the Mobile Nations apps.

Had to update my profile and was cracking up at the options. No Pixel 3XL yet the V50 was listed? I should have it at the 9 Pureview and 950XL as they aren't going anywhere any time soon...

They take forever to update the phones in the system. I can't even remember if they listed the S10e or if I typed it in myself.

I can't wait to get a case on this thing. It feels really good in hand and I'd like to start using it. On the plus side, got the Pixel skinned.

I had typed in my tablet back in the days. If I get lazy enough, I'll switch things again in a few years.

The fact that there is a lack of uniformity in reopening the U. S. Economy scares the out of me...
The problem is that the types of businesses that people most want open are the ones that require the closest physical contact: barbershops and salons, especially.

Some people are still being unrealistic about what getting back to "normal" means.

What's really scary is big corporations trying to get immunity from litigation if the economy is reopened too soon and there's a spike. I'm sure Lord Cheetoh is appalled at the request.

Are we surprised? Especially given the contraction of jobs in the economy? They're always going to find a way: 1) pay less wages, 2) pay less taxes, 3) get money from the government.

I agree. While I'll love to get my hair done, I don't wish to put myself at risk for doing so. Forget that.

This probably isn't surprising to hear. Even though I had a post going back and forth about the iPhone SE 2020, I was part of the group that ordered as soon as I can. I feel the need to try. I see that some reviews have dropped (of course from those who have early product access). I plan to watch the ones that make sense to me.

Recently, I had the thought of having possible regret of ordering it. I'm hoping the reviews can help me be more assured or less assured. The options will be the same of course when it comes to keeping it and dealing with getting rid of the S10e or returning it. These times are different but the things I need to know aren't going to change. The idea of having to leave my home to return it (in these times, I have stayed close to my home. I have been in a 3 mile or less range, unless necessary) is a bummer but not enough to sway my final decision.

Unfortunately here I think people are starting to break. There's very little sense of anyone caring.

The nice weather isn't helping.

I'm expecting a spike again.

Rene Ritchie's hits the most things. It helped in the sense of the cameras and general experience. Not totally swayed though, but it helped move the needle a little bit. I can't be bothered to watch anyone else's. I did see MKBHD's but he glossed over a lot.

Have you held an iPhone 8 before? Have you held an iPhone 7 even?

If the answer is yes, then you know dimensions wise what you're getting into. The SE2 is an upgraded iPhone 8.

I have. That's true about the dimensions. That should be fine, as it's slightly smaller than the S10e.

My concern is the cameras and the battery life. I learned that apparently the zoom isn't there for the camera. I don't want to downgrade there. With no night mode, I have to see how that looks. I knew but didn't realize the impact on photos. Low light is more important than night mode for me. Battery life is to be determined, but that's secondary. I care about battery life, but if it's worse, I'm not interested.
