They're upgrading the old hovel to hovel 1.1.
1.1 version means, no real changes, purely cosmetic.
So no better wiring. No cameras (I was told.)
I seriously wish they would trash my bed, but that's a different blog.
And what I got in my email today was a "Black Friday" deal for Pixel 10-something.
Yeah, OK, I'll look.
The one I liked was $1249.
It's got 1TB of ram (as opposed to 128 or 256) so I guess it has a 1TB SSD of a sort.
And what's wrong with my Pixel 7?
Nothing, really except for the fingerprint reader.
Nothing, really except for the fingerprint reader.
Every lightning-quick thought I have has to be typed, slowly, into a blog.
The much more reasonable Pixel 9A has the same fingerprint-reader that I have now.
Plus, according to Amazon critics, it gets way too hot.
Plus, it only has "6e" which I already have.
Black Friday (before it had a color) was the Friday after Thanksgiving.
Then vendors got nervous and changed it.
Now, the thursday before some random friday close to thanksgiving is Black.
Thanksgiving seems to be fading away as a holiday. Give thanks for what??
It's more marketing now, when overpriced stuff is slightly less overpriced.
Now I know yer prolly saying "Buy an apple, google sucks"
but the accessories, the software, all different, it's just too much.
No, I like my sim-card, my real-life sim card, inside of my phone with a nice case and a glass protector, that keeps working (I can always edit this)
I had more, but why? You already think I'm too bombastic, you said so.
If I traded in my phone like some worn-out slave I'd only get 75.
The weird terms T-Mobile has don't make much sense. Be tied to an account for 24 months, and they'll give you a credit each month for the LARGE amount I would need to pay, I may as well use Amazon.
So I did.
But I am not getting anywhere near 1TB, the cost-performance ratio is waaaay too high.
A cheap 1TB is $100, not 2-$300.00 more.
And me, so bad at math....think they really want $400 more (8+4=12)
For what, empty space for music??
So yeah...a caseless naked phone with zero protection.
Vs. a venerable phone with wifi 6e
But I can keep both!! The survivor and the newbie.
So 2x2 MIMO sounds lots better than just "MIMO" (you had me fooled) but it's the same, if the AI can be believed.
(I was only asking because...they say that the 10-pro-xl has "2x2 MIMO" and I can't pin down what the pixel 7 has beyond "Mimo" That's all it officially says)
Near as I can tell right this exact second, My new gizmo will be 2x2 WIFI and (o, I have more research to do) If "5G" (whutever) uses "MIMO" they aren't saying officially.
They DO say, for whatever reason I need to go look for, the cellular chip is a different model than in the 10 (not XL)
WiFi and Cellular are such way different technologies and people trying to equate the two make misstatements, and I'd rather look ignorant.
For example: ATT states forthrightly that the phone has a nanosim.
It could be that the data-entry person just got tired and this is her 10,000th entry, and she's thinking of her kids waiting for her at home,
OR
The video-review I saw was total horseshit, and they really do have a space for the sim, saving you a whopping $35 (Thirty five dollars)

| You have to squint-click to read. But OK a few guys who cannot spell, and GSMARENA really hate this phone and wish it was apple. This bodes well, the price will drop. Too late for me, but Save yourselves!!! I'll of course have more to write soon, and I am no shill. |
Being topical....
There's some gargantuan distracting going on.
Every damn time these stories come out, something much bigger gets stuffed in on the bottom.
Being a democrat these days is like being a catholic in King Henry's time.
They spam the headlines with accused criminals, and now this.
Was I the only one who thought of the movie
"Alice in wonderland" and the evil red queen?
