I know you're getting a grey S20. I've always liked grey and wished that AT&T had grey Lumias available. The ones you repaired looked really nice.

Yup the Gray 822 was a really pretty device!

That was my favourite colour Lumia.

In terms of black and white phones, I liked the panda Pixel.

Panda was my favorite Pixel as well. I didn't warm up to the 3 or 4 series as much. The Pixel 2XL in Panda color scheme was awesome.

So it's looking like Singapore Airlines or Qatar Airways. Gonna book flights tomorrow.

The Oh [Not] So Orange is my least favourite Pixel.

Early March
Then in April it's Costa Rica.

The Oh [Not] So Orange is my least favourite Pixel.

I was debating whether to get that color or not and then remembered that I didn't care much for the Orange Lumia 830 that I had.

I think the orange Lumia 830 looked better than the Pixel.

Maybe. I don't have the new Pixel to compare.
The green 830 was really nice as well. Actually the green iPhone 11 looks really good too.

You're right about the green 830 and the green iPhone 11. Both look very nice.

I've seen the orange Pixel, and it looks more peach coloured to me, almost pinkish.

I haven't spotted a Orange Pixel in the wild yet.

The main reason why I chose Samsung five months ago rather than LG was pricing. The V50 looked really nice, but I couldn't see paying as much for it as my S10+, especially since LG isn't great in terms of battery life.

I would have made the same choice had I needed to choose between Sony and Samsung. I'm also not thrilled that the new Sony high end device only comes in black and purple. I was also similarly disappointed that the V50 only comes in black. Since I've taken a liking to clear cases, I prefer phones with interesting colours. Even the grey S20 looks more interesting to me than a black device.

Actually the new Sony also comes in white. I know exciting... /s

Trying to find other colours than black will be difficult though and here they typically cost more because they're rare.

Black is still the most popular colour unfortunately.

I wanted to get something other than black but none of the bundles came with another colour.

With selling the headphones I got my phone to €750 new so I can't complain really. That to me is the real price of the X1 at launch and it would've done better had they did that with the bundle.

If it's true they're going +1000 for the new device, no one will really buy it. They need to stop trying to compete with Samsung.

All these 5G phones are in this price range which is ridiculous. I'm assuming that's the 'excuse' which is lame.

I still have the orange 830... looks awesome!! I remember buying a spare green colour back also ....
(the camera no longer works, it now connected to my JBLs at home, as my music player)

Meanwhile, the politics in Malaysia is beyond chaotic... The prime minister, at almost 95yrs old, outsmarts everyone, be it friend or foe...
The nation is dazed and bemused.

So one of the things I've noticed with the Xperia 1 is that it takes pictures as is. Even in auto. Some people may not like this but I see it as a good starting point.

I think all good pictures are edited.

So I live near the biggest park 'in Paris'. We decided to go for a walk on Sunday but it wasn't great weather. My wife likes taking sunny pictures I'm a bit more into moods.

So an example of the unedited and edited photo.

I was just playing around trying to get the photo as I wanted it. Not sure I got 100% but it's not bad.

Looks a bit autumn...

Ah, the OG panda. RIP webOS.

"You can have any color you want, as long as it's black."

This passive noise canceling is something else. Got some serious mixed feelings.
