Haven't had much of a chance to play with it. Pretty much stays in box till I get a case. Maybe next week. But from what little I tried, Fps works as advertised. Nicely substitutes for navigation bar. Camera is definitely better than Mate 9 in low light. Screen has better resolution than Mate 9 although it seems to be a little darker when comparing at brightest setting. I think some brightness boost kicks in when in sun that can make it brighter than Mate 9 but not sure about that. Phone is nicely responsive. I also bought the 360 camera! Will post pic once I get to play with it.

Dave999, did you decide to get an iphoneX. Some nice sales in US!

$300 off at tmobile!

A case? I have never really liked cases. It removes some of the characteristics of the device. Same with screen protector. I used it on my n900 and still regret that. Never again.

Cool looking forward to get some pictures when you are ready . :D

No,l iPhone X here. Maybe galaxy note 9 but I don’t want another candybar device.

Why did you regret using a screen protector on N900? Seemed to work fine on mine, stylus and all. The flap case I got has a little window so you can see time and temperature. I like it.
PS. I finally bought a guitar!

Becouse it doesn’t fit my style, walking around with screen protector. But it’s nothing I can do about it. I just have to live with it.

Man, you are on fire!
A phone, screen protector and a guitar. :D

Not so much being on fire than burning through cash!

This is the time of year I burn through cash too. Only not on myself.

And then give away Wednesday. Where you donate stuff you bought the they before during crazy Tuesday. (Or some stuff you replaced with new ones)

And then...
Then it's time for recycling Thursday!

Re: It's the final countdown!
 
Actually, yes. Huawei P10 Lite for my daughter. Looks very nice (4GB/32GB, 2.1GHz octa-core) for the price (£180 SIM-free). The only downside is the sheer size. The bloody thing is absolutely MASSIVE! She (and I) would prefer something at least half an inch smaller but what can you do in this day and age :(

I bought it on Tuesday though, not Friday. From a ye olde brick-and-mortar shoppe, not online. I like to see and have a chance to play with a new thing before I buy it. If I ever buy a second one I can do it online, however the price in places like Amazon or eBay is the same so why bother.

My own phone still remains the N900. Not found anything good enough to replace it with ;p

Does this count as an invasion?

I think we need an AIO at TMO before it is too late. Better to be safe than sorry!

Re: It's the final countdown!
 
Hmm, I was wondering more about what AIO in Dave's previous post could have meant.
Asynchronous Input/Output? TMO is already asynchronous!

The end is near...GDPR is coming :D

1. Is TMO ready in 6 month?
2. How will google get around this with specific commercials? How will facebook handle this?
https://www.blog.google/topics/googl...gulation-gdpr/

3. How is the data protection for journalists?

So many ridiculously interesting questions...

Maybe it’s time to laywer up :D

A snow bird! I thought they went exctinct. Or atleast went into extinction or how should I put it?. Either way the extinctness is obvious.

I think it is an artistic rendition a heron. Hasn't gone the way of the dodo. At least not yet!
