Need a new phone

My S4 just crapped out yesterday...8.5 years! Jumped up to an S20 and it's awesome.

No equivalence. Just facts.

You're drawing moral equivalence between the marketing efforts of a US-based corporation and the espionage efforts of the US's primary geopolitical adversary - a communist political party that is hostile to religion, individualism, the greater Western enlightenment project in general, and who regularly uses their surveillance tools to oppress their own people for wrongthink. The data collected by the CCP is used to infiltrate western networks and identify vulnerable (and valuable) individuals for targeted surveillance, including conversion to CCP spies.

You may think that they're just getting your cat meme browsing history, but your contact list is many times more valuable than that.

On the other hand, Apple draws the ire of privacy-disinterested politicians for their excellent user security and privacy systems.

Actually I just made a snarky comment on the internet and it appears you're trying to big-word it into something greater. Feel free to continue...
:popcorn:
 
I want a new phone. I'm just can't justify the payments. I'm running a Pixel 2 XL. Screen's busted to hell and I don't feel it works as well as my old Note 5. I want the Note 10.

I got all excited today because I went on Verizon's website and they had buy one, get one free... yeah bullshit. You have to add a new line in order to get the deal. Guess I'll be waiting a little longer.

Cancel a number and add a new number. That’s what I did and saved a shit load of money plus cleaned out the amount of people with my new number. Way to many people had my old number and should have done this years ago.

Eh, I considered it but I've had this number for forever and you can forget asking my wife to. I don't get too many unwanted calls from folks. I screen them most times anyhow.

I'll throw in my traditional bitch about being a long time customer in good standing and not getting any incentives to continue to stick around. That goes for any place really. It's always about the new ones and the fabulous deal they get.

Good way to shed yourself of @Loganwayne and @Jody Treadway . I had my number for over 20 years when I changed and don’t regret doing it to save $800.
 
My new Motorola G Power showed up today, $150 to my door. This thing is a screamer, camera could be a little faster, but other than that I am happy, looking forward to the promised 3 day battery life, I am not much of a heavy phone user.
