    Anyone planning on getting a Pixel 10?

    My P6 is still chugging along fine and especially with the updates has some of the newer features like the photo editing. I love the call screening and transcribing. I'm wondering if I would notice a OMG difference between it and a 10.

    Android 16

    I got 16 on my pixel 6 yesterday and there are some nice new features. Notably, it seems snappier and the live updates is nice. Undecided if I want to use the new security features. are there any cons to it?

    Pixel 9 - August Launch this year - three model lineup

    Still using my P6 and it's fine except the screen it getting nicked and scratched more and more. Hopefully 16 runs good on the P6 and I can squeeze another year out of it til the P10 is available. P9's should be cheap by then, too.

    Anyone bought a pixel 9a yet?

    Wondering if anyone has any real world experience with the 9a... lots of glowing reviews online but those are suspect in my opinion. It does seem like a good bang for the buck phone.

    The Best New Or Used Android Phone for ~$100?

    I'd look at some of the Pixel series on Swappa. They get all the latest android updates through at least 16 and they have decent battery life. Great cameras too.

    Question Outlook won't DL gmail anymore

    It's the updated outlook version of the old mail app I think. I have office 2013 which I still use for word but outlook 2013 simply doesn't open anymore. I tried rolling back to 2013 and MS wouldn't let me do it. So, I think my office is a hybrid of 2013 and something newer. I do have a...

    Question Outlook won't DL gmail anymore

    I can send and receive fine with my MS email just not my gmail. The new outlook has all the settings hidden. I can even find a place to put in the mail servers.

    Question Outlook won't DL gmail anymore

    This happened 3 days ago. I was getting my gmail in outlook like usual and then it just quit. I can access it fine in a browser but I am used to just using outlook. I tried deleting the account in outlook and re-adding it but still no luck. I assume it is adding it correctly but it is all...

    If you're thinking of getting a phone, how do you compare performance?

    A couple extra hundred dollars is a wise investment for a device you are going to keep and use for 5 yrs. I won't usually buy the top of the line, but I also won't skimp and end up with something that doesn't give me the experience I want. So, I'll spend a little extra to get a Pixel over a Moto...

    If you're thinking of getting a phone, how do you compare performance?

    Any modern phone will perform well. If you need a SD card slot or headphone jack, you are pretty limited. I'm still happy with my Pixel 6. I like pure android and constant updates direct from google. When I do get a new phone, it will be another Pixel- 7 yrs of updates and support makes it the...

    Maybe... would have been better if they brazed it. What kind of jag? I've had a 71 V12 E-type and an XJ12. Love hate relationship with those cars!

    Any Good Forecasters Here?

    T-mo is a bit better than Verizon or ATT in that the term you agree to is 2 yrs vs 3. She's been with them for about 5 yrs now and even has their 5g home internet which has a bundle discount. For over 55, I don't think anyone beats t-mo. But I did switch to visible when they had their 15/mo...

    My sister just got a pixel 9 for free at t-mo trading in her 7. Hard to beat free. And she's on one of their cheap over 55 plans.

    Any Good Forecasters Here?

    Not sure why you wouldn't want to get a new pixel if you want to keep stuff a long time. 7 yrs of OS updates, pixel drops, bare android with no junk added in, top rated camera, amazing screen, etc... Motorola by only supporting their phones a couple years is basically saying "we want you to...
