Ugh that ridiculous assistant button that's placed way too low is still there. Always gets crushed in my car mount. They couldn't put that on the other side under the power button for symmetry? Yes I know it can be turned off (and it is) but that's not the point. Disappointing.

I got a huge mailer about the G8.  Nothing about it made me anxious to buy it.

I'm going to keep an eye on out for the V50, but I anticipate it will be too expensive.  We'll see what the G8 costs on Black Friday; I may or may not upgrade then.

(Is the rear power button gone for good?)

Given Samsung's quality control issues, it will be very important to see if LG does any better.  Typically takes about a month for any issues to show up. 

Design-wise there is no doubt that X55 modem devices slated for late 2019/2020 are better long term bets.  If the merger is called off, then the V50 becomes more viable since 600MHz 5NR won't matter as much.  Otherwise I want my local tower tribanded to reduce my merger transition uncertainty about my local service and reduce my risk..

Picked up one of these for my wife due to the large service credit to upgrade and the discount from best buy. So far so good. VoLTE was even available in the settings, just needed to be toggled.

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
