HTC has made some awesome phones, but I know they were struggling for cash because they were a smaller company. I hope this works out for them.
Pixel 2 announced, phoned looked ok until canāt confirmed there is no headphone jack.
Pixel 1 still appears to be my next phone.
I continue to complain about the size of the phone.

Iām picking up a Pixel 2 anyways, since Iām starting to need a new phone. Guess Iām gonna have to find decent Bluetooth earbuds.
I also need a new phone. I donāt like the ridiculous nonsense I have to go through to find a modern phone in the size category I want.
Switching costs.
Those are consequences of making the wrong decision in the first place.

I chose the lark of finding a non apple phone in the correct form factor vs. the switching cost as my penance.
I have considered the switch but my disdain of iTunes is too much
iTunes is fine.
But also, iTunes is basically completely out of the picture now. I havenāt used it to sync in years. Just now, they removed the app store from it.
The only thing I use iTunes for is making backups of my phone to my own personal storage. The phone can back itself up to iCloud storage.
I donāt iTunes, I use Google Music and Pandora.
Still not big enoughā¦ I want Google to make a 6" plus phoneā¦
The pedant in me says you want a tablet that functions as a calling device.

The pedant is correct. I have a Pixel XL which I love but if it was a half inch bigger or even a bit more I would love it more.
Just buy a tablet that takes a sim card. Thatās the correct solution for your use case.

Oh it totally is. I just like Googleās devices. When the time comes to upgrade Iāll have to see whatās out there.
Weird thing is, I wonder if Iām making a mistake with the wanting a small phone. I have gigantic hands. In fact, one sec let me prove that:
Despite that I think my Galaxy S5 is too big. I cannot comfortably reach the entire screen with my thumb without readjusting my grip. I need something smaller. Doesnāt have to be the smallest phone in the universe. But smaller than a Galaxy S5
Our hands are of comparable size. I have an iPhone SE. Pop into an Apple Store and play with the phones?
