So, I made a list of all the flip phones I could find that run full android

To get this out of the way first


GSM Arena doesn't seem to have a lot of the android flip phones in their database, but please double check if you so choose

Fitbit Premium for the Pixel Watch Opinion

I've previously worked for Fitbit, and I wanted to talk about the premium model that people are upset about. These are more personal opinions, and I'm not privy to any information.

I also understand that the consumer always hates a subnoscription model, it's the worst feeling to never really "own" something.

Before I do, let me say why the subnoscription model is amazing for hardware based companies.
