48	RR	I'm a little behind on listening but just listened to the "2020 in the rear view" episode. There's discussion about how 5G is a myth and not benefiting people. When I upgraded from my Pixel 3 XL to the Pixel 5 (which I love!), I was dubious about the benefits of 5G. It turns out many areas that I was frequently seeing extremely slow 4G speeds due to high congestion are now Nationwide 5G capable on my Verizon network. At the grocery store I frequent, I previously was unable to stream audio because it was so slow. Now I'm getting 100mbps in the exact same place. While these speeds are close to what I used to get on 4G, they are faster and all of my congestion issues have been solved with 5G. Derek

50	JH	I've been a Note user for a long time. I've had every Note since the Note 2. I use the S Pen a lot and can say with absolute certainty that if the S Pen is not embedded in the phone, I'm not interested. I don't want to use their case to hold the pen. I can almost say I'm somewhat relieved. Since there will be no new Note, I've been released from the shackles of buying the next Note and now I can look at all vendors for my next phone. Chuck

53	FI	About that Kyocera durable phone you guys were talking about at CES. Jason had said he was wondering if people used those kind of phones in construction. Well I can tell you I’ve been in construction for 11 years, worked on many jobsites, and I have never seen one in the wild as well. Everybody... 100% of people use Samsung or iPhone but I will say they all use some sort of durable case like OtterBox or something of that nature. Just wanted to let you know I don’t know who’s buying them but if I haven’t seen one, it’s very niche! Vinnie
