    So Guess WHAT!

    I am an iOS beta tester for iPhone. The new 16.5 beta is pretty good. I can tell you about it if you want. And keep your shirts on. I also have a Pixel 7! I'd deathly afraid of getting a crappy beta so I'll be waiting on later betas when they are introduced, to try them.

    Folks: I would like to catch folks up on my personal life. As many of you know, I've here like what 11 or 12 years more or less? I have two grown children. In 2017 my wife of 38 years less one month (exactly) passed away from cancer. It was a terrible, terrible time. It was a rare (quick)...

    Rooting Question

    So, the last phone I was able to root and rom was the Galaxy Nexus that many folks from here bought for me, because of the Gnex thread. I loved the fun of trying lousy ROMs which messed up all my data, only to be able to wipe and restore a completely stable one. Such fun. Such power. So...

    Help 5G Question

    I have a question for folks who have this phone. Have you even used 5G? Do you see or notice a difference in connection? My concern, perhaps justified, is why should I spend all this money on a phone this expensive, that has a 5G that no one can actually use? Or can they? I would love to...

    Smart Telescopes Discussion

    I was thinking about looking at the stars as a hobby. I am a total novice and the more I look at the hobby, the more daunting it looks. Nowadays, they have telescopes that do computerized image process for astrophotography and sky gazing. They are Stellina, Vespera and Evscope. They do...

    Mint Question

    What mobile system does this use? That would mean a lot to me to determine reliability. I live in a rural/suburban area on the East Coast, and right now, Verizon is the only service that covers my area well. Believe me, if I could save money by switching to a reliable carrier in my area, I...

    So, who's gonna buy this monster?

    Frankly, I looked up the price. Two thousand dollars. TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR A PHONE? At those prices it better do a lot more than what a phone does. Make me breakfast in the morning, maybe? Is anyone gonna flash their card and put it down for this baby? Not i.

    This looks like a powerful phone. I am wondering if anyone has their sights on it. I've always liked One + products. They are simple and elegant. This one seems to me to be a monster. So, who is getting this? I want to know so I can envy you!
