From the Dark Side
by Tiny Ruisch
I’m so sad. There are a lot of reasons I could be sad. The coronavirus is keeping me from attending computer club and SubVet meetings. I could be sad about how the elections were resolved. I could be sad because Alex Trebek passed away. Those things do make me downcast and blue, but that is not why I’m sad.
I’m sad because my cell phone now looks like my grandson’s. There is a large spider‑web crack on the screen. I’ve got to say that I’m not really surprised. It was only a matter of time. I have the habit of carrying my phone in my shirt pocket. When I bend over, I occasionally forget it is there and it drops out. My Moto G6 Play was a tough phone. I’ve probably dropped it a couple of hundred times. Actually, it still is a tough phone. Even with a bad crack, it is still usable although the screen is hard to read.
I’m on the search for a new phone. I’m fairly sure that it will be another one in the Motorola line. They aren’t the fastest with updating, but I like the fact that there isn’t very much bloatware installed. That is why I don’t buy my phones through the cell phone carrier.
One thing for sure is that I don’t plan to spend a lot of money for a high end device. I don’t need the latest technology. The only thing I really miss and want to make sure I get is NFC capability. The search goes on. I’ll be doing another review in the future.
Thanks for reading.
