Samsung Flip 5, and Watch 6 classic.
Flip 5, other than the big front screen is basically the same. But with trading in directly to Samsung, a new phone is only $100, a no brainer for me. The clear case is pretty nice, changing colors with the colored inset is a neat trick. Be some interesting after market ones I am sure. The case is very slick though, obviously as it is hard plastic. I am in gym clothes 90% of the time other than work, and I can see it slipping out of my pocket easily sitting down. May have to change to a normal case. The front screen is very usable, can respond to texts, check weather, easier for selfies, etc. With selfies it uses the real camera, not the one from the screen when the phone is opened. Much better quality to take them with. I have had every flip, happy with their progress. I detest a huge phone in my pocket.
The Watch 6 classic (on the right), the rotating bezel is back. SO much better with it, they should never remove it again. Only 1mm bigger than my Watch 5 Pro, but at just $250 with my discounts, and selling my Watch 5 Pro for $250, it was only $50. After taxes new phone and watch little over $200. Better battery, bigger screen, and rotating bezel, easily worth $50. Wish my wife's iPhones were this cheap to upgrade.

Nice. I picked up a refurbished Denon receiver last year (directly from the manufacturer) for around the same price when I was upgrading our home audio from some crappy and cheap old sound bar to having real, floor-standing speakers.My very first "real" receiver was an Onkyo and I loved it. Always wanted another one but the hi-end models can be expensive. Finally got this one. Probably last year's model, but that's fine. It's replacing a very good but dated Yamaha.
RANT: Had a very bad exprience with Xfinity/Comcast. Downgraded my cable from 185 channels to125 channels, for $30 less monthly payment. I've been holding on to the "old" cable boxes that has firewire port in the back.Xfinity cable internet. I know, the dark side and all that.
We were with a little ISP with a flaky streaming app for the local channels, which my wife is hooked on.
I tried out youtube TV and then started the process for going back to craptastic. There was a $25 promo rate for 200 Mbps, 24 months no contract. We plan on selling this place within 24 months
I did not get my modem provisioned in a timely manner, and the deal expired.
Thus begins the afternoon on phone support. The CSR had to go back to get the promo rate again, which had expired. When she got done we ended up with .........
$15 a month for intarwebs! She could not get it to do the 25 and she gave up when it latched on to the $15
Just like the good old days! :^Dcurrently doesn't work
