Post #415,522 by Another Scott 11/16/16 8:21:33 PM 11/16/16 8:21:33 PM Reply	It arrived today. I'm letting it warm up to room temperature now. I'll begin charging it in an hour or so. I've decided to get a SIM cutter rather than trying to do it myself. And I've got to make sure everything is backed up and that I know how to restore stuff on the Nexus 4 to the new box (this is only my 2nd Android phone). So, I'm not going to mess with it until late Friday. Anticipation!! Cheers, Scott.

Post #415,550 by Another Scott 11/17/16 8:42:08 PM 11/17/16 8:42:08 PM Reply	Good to know. I haven't had the greatest luck with trying new SIMs (e.g. a couple I got for Europe trips), and I don't want to mess up my plan. Just another day or so! Cheers, Scott.

I want my e911 chip free flip phone back. -NT - (mmoffitt) - (1) - Oct. 4, 2016, 02:23:49 PM EDT

EVLeaks on Twitter mumbled something about flip phones coming back next year. - (Another Scott) - Oct. 4, 2016, 02:42:37 PM EDT

Nice colors - (drook) - (2) - Oct. 4, 2016, 02:49:42 PM EDT

Looks like these, too - (drook) - Oct. 5, 2016, 11:34:18 AM EDT

So, it's not a loss leader. :) - (a6l6e6x) - Oct. 4, 2016, 04:48:11 PM EDT

They're offering a new ecosystem with very fast hardware. - (Another Scott) - (11) - Oct. 5, 2016, 06:52:24 AM EDT

Eh? No they're not - (pwhysall) - (10) - Oct. 5, 2016, 11:47:31 AM EDT

It does sound appealing. I use very little data most months. - (Another Scott) - (2) - Oct. 5, 2016, 01:26:47 PM EDT

Yeah, you pay for all your data - (drook) - (1) - Oct. 5, 2016, 02:42:14 PM EDT

The unthrottled foreign data sounds great... - (Another Scott) - Oct. 18, 2016, 11:23:25 PM EDT

He's an outlier on this one - (pwhysall) - Oct. 6, 2016, 03:06:59 AM EDT

If you want a Pixel, avoid Verizon - (pwhysall) - (19) - Oct. 7, 2016, 03:19:39 AM EDT

Verizon's always been evil. - (Another Scott) - (18) - Oct. 7, 2016, 08:36:33 AM EDT

You just did "ooh look a monkey" - (pwhysall) - (4) - Oct. 7, 2016, 06:05:54 PM EDT

All I'm saying is one is no better or worse than the other. The reasons may vary, but both are evil. -NT - (mmoffitt) - (3) - Oct. 9, 2016, 11:02:25 AM EDT

So what? - (pwhysall) - (2) - Oct. 9, 2016, 11:54:13 PM EDT

Exactly. - (mmoffitt) - (1) - Oct. 10, 2016, 08:13:39 AM EDT

Eh? I don't like Verizon. - (Another Scott) - (6) - Oct. 7, 2016, 03:34:43 PM EDT

Google doesn't need to sell phones, though. - (pwhysall) - (5) - Oct. 7, 2016, 06:05:20 PM EDT

But... - (Another Scott) - (1) - Oct. 7, 2016, 06:15:23 PM EDT

Might be worth double-checking that - (pwhysall) - (1) - Oct. 8, 2016, 02:25:31 AM EDT

No, it's not locked to Telstra. - (static) - Oct. 8, 2016, 03:21:24 AM EDT
