Photo update/ a few things I've picked up lately.

So most of you who picked on which one you liked and which phone took said photo..... Were wrong. Most of you picked the OnePlus 6T's photo thinking it was the note 9. But let me tell you something about your choice. It was the one that was the furthest away from the true color of the actual subject. Sorry but it's true. When I look at the photos side by side I'm actually disappointed in the photo quality of the 6T. Now if I look only at the photo it has taken it looks fine. Because I have nothing to compare it to. Now I still love that phone and I take it with me everywhere I go (as I do my note 9 and s9). But folks, it's not the best camera out there, but it gets the job done well.

Now here's a few things I've picked up lately.

I just had to get this color s pen. I used Samsung rewards for the purchase so out of pocket was less than $3 USD. I wish we had the option for that color phone as well without having to fork out full price. Dang it anyway.

Now as I'm sure you all know the OnePlus 6T has no headphone jack. (Not a real fan of that, but I do have a few Bluetooth headset). So you need a dongle to hook up wired headsets, OnePlus sends one with the device thankfully. Now I know myself well enough to know I will miss place that damn thing sooner or later, so I ordered a two pack off of Amazon.

I thought it was a little steep, but as it's my first time needing them I went ahead and ordered them. I'm actually pleased with what I've gotten.
They are of better quality than what was shipped in the box and they are a little longer as well.

Now I have a new case coming for the 6T and I ordered a pair of USB type C cables as I have given my grandson my S8 and looks like I'm short a cable. I will update on those sometime next week as they won't arrive until Tuesday. So until then thanks for reading. And happy teching.

Photo test part 2

Okay yesterday I did a little test of three phone's cameras. Today I'm continuing that with the selfie cameras. Again I'll be using the Samsung S9, the note 9 and the OnePlus 6T. The photos won't be in this order (or will they). Please leave your guess which is which and which you prefer in the comments.

Let's see how we do on this test....

A three way camera test.

I'm posting three photos, I would like you my few readers to tell me which phone too which photo. For this test I used the Samsung Galaxy S9, the Samsung note 9 and the OnePlus 6T. I will add them in no particular order, but I will know which is which. Please leave you guess in the comments please.

Okay, to make this a little easier top photo is number one..(I'm sure you can figure out the other two numbers.)

Also which photo you liked the best would be a big help.

OnePlus 6T... Maybe coming, may be mirror black TMobile fail

Okay in less you live under a rock or don't follow phones (in that case why are you here and we can't be friends) you know the OnePlus 6T is here. TMobile is the first and only carrier to have this new device in the USA. They are offering it at a great deal. Trade in a qualifying device and get $300.00 off in the form of bill credits. That's over half off. Great deal right? So I ordered one. After all I have a couple phones laying around I can use. So I ordered it on day one, I mean the first day it was available which was 11/1. Now I've been a good customer with no late payments or anything. So I don't have to put money down, just pay the sales tax. Okay now TMobile doesn't take that money until the phone ships. That's the way it has always been in the 5+ years I've been with them. So I was happy to see the money taken it that very day. But then the next day came and went with no shipping notice. So I called and was sent to the Philippines as it was after normal hours. No big deal I knew that was going to happen. They had no idea why it didn't ship, but confirmed that they never take the money until it ships. So I asked what color it was as that question never was answered when I was ordering the phone. He informed me that in less I specify it will be the default color "midnight black" well that's cool because that's the color I wanted.

So here it is day 5, I'm watching YouTube videos on the device and I'm hearing that TMobile only has one color "mirror black" so since the phone hasn't shipped and I now have no clue what color I'm getting I decide to call once again. I'm on the phone for 30 minutes with a very kind lady who is doing her damnedest to get me answers. But for the 2 questions I had she got nothing. I actually felt bad for her as she was doing everything under her power to get me something. Finally she ran out of ideas and options. I thanked her and went on with my day.

Ten to twenty minutes later I get a notification that my phone has shipped 😦. So I decided to hit Twitter in my new account (I'll post my Twitter info at the end) so TMobile help replied to my post. Wanting to know more. So for the next hour or so we are twitting back and forth. After all that I am getting the phone tomorrow instead of today and I'm getting the color I didn't want. So this is a major fail on TMobile. Now would I have ordered the phone knowing it was only in mirror black?.. Probably. But I wouldn't it ordered it knowing it was going to be the wrong color and wasn' t going to ship the next day. I would if waited to see if another color option was coming out. And now I see there is a purple thunder color....
