WC 1M Post Challenge - You Ready?!

Is it just me, or the Note 20 should have been called Note 20 Lite or something.

As Flossy would often say, the price is too damn high!

Since this is the Off-Topic Lounge I will ask an answer-less question. How the bleep does my carrier-branded 2017 Note 8 get its July 2020 Update before my factory-unlocked Note 10+? Not just a carrier-branded phone, an unlocked Sprint model whose original release company no longer exists!! I better stop before Laura or 99 relegates me to MoNa purgatory.

if you were first in line, wouldn't you rather get service first?

Getting excited with all the Duo leaks

Let us know if you get it. I don't know if I should buy it, or save some more for the S20, since I found a really good deal on it.

Nice! The S20 is also a good phone. I'm on the fence since the date it is available is the 30th of August.

By that time, we are coming up on the Apple announcement. I want to hear if the small model is real and how much. If it was available earlier, I might have been a bit more sure.

Just wait it out. It's not like Google is going to stop selling the 4a anytime soon.

Went to a local nursery today to get some flowering plants and some lettuce plants. They have a really nice tank with water lilies.

Those are beautiful flowers! I love the purple one especially.

Same here. I've always loved these ever since I was a kid.

Great shots. Those ponds are photogenic, good photo op.
Reminds me of the buds and seed pods I saw in Ho Chi Min City last year.
Those fresh seeds are really quite tasty.

So who here pre ordered the Pixel 4a?

 

[raycpl]

Waiting to see final price here in Malaysia. Looks like a good replacement for my missus' old Vivo V5...

I have not. Waiting it out. Also my brother in law has had his Pixel 3a replaced 3 times, and he's so done that he wants to go to an iPhone. I'm hoping it (the 4a) will have less issues.

So who else is looking under their sofa cushions for $1400 to get the Duo? I can't help it, I'm intrigued knowing it won't be a Ma Bell exclusive. My only concerns are the stated battery figures and the lack of NFC.

$1400 is a bit too much. I think I will pass. Also the battery life doesn't look that impressive but let's see the reviews. I might be tempted to get a used one down the line. For now the iPad Pro works fine for work stuff for me.

counting the pennies in my penny jar price is too high for in reality is a mid range double screen phone that does not have nfc or wireless charging..

It would be an excellent candidate for a Digits line. I've owned 3-1/2" wide devices before (Passport and LG Intuition) so that doesn't scare me as far as using one for extended periods of time. Weekends would be a drag though.

The Moto RAZR has lower specs, a puny battery and a higher price., The OG Galaxy Flip Z has the same CPU, smaller battery but a much better camera (assuming the Duo isn't an 11MP version of the Pixel's shooter). Neither offer expandable storage so the price really isn't out of line all things considered. Throw in 3 year update support and it blows the RAZR out of the water.
