As you know I am leaving for Steemfest in two days' time. I rely on my tech to keep in touch, use the internet, for navigation and reminders, to keep notes, take photos, and to translate signs etc where needed. I currently have a Samsung S7 Edge. Not a bad phone by any means, but it wasn't my phone of choice: you see, last year I got the Note 7 on release day. I loved this phone and it's awesome features but alas, Samsung experienced many problems with the handset catching fire and even exploding due to dodgy batteries. I was forced to send it back and received the S7 Edge in exchange.
I decided last Friday that, now the Samsung Note 8 has been out for a while without any of the previous issues, to order one to take with me and assist on my European trip. It will be great to be able to use the stylus to jot down notes, use the awesome dual lens camera for photos of my trip, and at Steemfest itself, and to use Bixby to translate signs etc straight from the camera. It is due to arrive shortly and I plan to write several posts about my experience using the phone and its features. I will be taking my ipad with me too, but will see how much work I can get done on the Note 8 while away. I have a small bluetooth keyboard to pair with the phone for typing if needed.

Thanks. I'll look forward to those reviews. I still have the Galaxy Note 3. I love it especially for the replaceable batteries. That feature is nearly extinct in all smart devices.
I'm afraid it's extinct in the Note range too now :(
There had been a phablet LG model line as late as last year with a replaceable battery, but I've heard the new one wasn't going to keep that. I hadn't looked while it off work.
I must admit I am kinda smitten by the stylus
Are you looking for corporate sponsors to fund your Steemfest piss up? 😂
But of course :D
You bring your new Samsung, I bring my new Blackberry :)
Here's some cash for you to spend in Lisbon:
Thanks, I will pass it on.
Yes! :)
I'm generous, but there are limits. It's also in the encrypted memo you see in your wallet, so I suppose you'll transfer this to your friend. See you in Lisbon!
I just saw, yes. Thanks, it will be passed on. See you there!
@gmuxx have a great trip with your more stable means of communication ☺
I'm looking forward to your spur-of-the-moment updates of Steemfest!
Thanks buddy. Updates shall be made.
