I pre-ordered a Pixel 3 XL a couple of days ago, which is supposedly going to be available on Nov 1st.  Anyone else considering getting one?

All my friends are more excited about the new OnePlus 6T.

I preordered an iPhone XR 128GB. I wanted a XS but couldn't justify the price.

My wife just got an XS. It’s pretty sweet.

I’m still hanging onto my 6S for now, but was thinking the XR would be the way to go when it’s time to replace it. But having that second (telephoto-ish) lens on the XS is tempting. My wife has gotten some pretty great photos with hers.

Isn't cost of an iPhone that more than you spend car ?  :stick:

So my S8+ has become frustrating...but I'm also cheap so I am thinking of picking up a used iPhone 7 Plus (seem to hit the sweet spot of depreciation curve).

Yes I know its a :censor: phone and I've got myself $120k of book value in extremely fast depreciating cars.

I know it might be a rhetorical question but is there any Blackberry user still around here (other than me of course)?
