Will get my Samsung Galaxy Note 9 today

I can't wait. My Amazon account says my new phone has been delivered and is waiting in my complex's office for me. My iPhone 6's battery just does not hold its charge, and I've never really liked the iPhone like I like Samsung. I had a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 before, which was a great phone for its time, but it konked out on me. I moved over to the iPhone 6 as a hand-me-down, so I'm glad I had something to use as a stop-gap, even though it's not my thing. I was really surprised that iPhone has no built-in ability to play ogg files. I have a collection of thousands of oggs that play via my flash card app, Anki. I could have converted them all to mp3s on my computer, but I still would have had to have re-associated them all in Anki. Would have been a massive job. It's easier just to go back to Android. I also like the Note's bigger screen and the fact that it has a built-in stylus. The Note series is a terrific line of phones (except for the 7, which had a very serious problem). You guys gave me Android advice in another thread. Thanks for that. There were actually many possible good choices. I was originally considering the Note 8, but I found a 9 affordably as a refurb, and it's a big improvement over the 8. It's also only one version back.

So I'll be glad to be back to Android. It's nothing against iPhone. They do have some good phones, but Android gives you more bang for your buck and can do things that iPhones can't. I'll still hang onto that iPhone because I need to be familiar with iPhone for my work.

Good choice. The Note 9 is an amazing phone. You'll immediately notice the gap between that iPhone 6 and the Note 9. Enjoy your phone and don't look back.

I was looking at the Samsung 10+ since they are marked down with a trade in. Though the 20 has a bigger markdown, but a bit more expensive. Getting aggravated with the crappy camera glitch on my current Pixel 3.

Decisions decisions!

Yeah, it's a tough decision. I watched a bunch of Youtube videos before I pulled the trigger. I also settled for a blue one when I wanted black because I got it at such a lower price. I can live with blue.

Approximately that shade, but a little darker. I also always saw the old pants as grey with maybe a teeny bit of blue.

All right -- an update. I spent the weekend setting up my Samsung Galaxy Note 9. It's extraordinary. It's probably a more powerful phone than I need, but better to be too powerful than not powerful enough.
