Hello New forum Goodbye Note 7. Mate 9 please go to Verizon

[Fun Human]

This phone looks awesome. Considered the LG V20 but was underwhelmed when I looked at it in person. For this I'll swap out my Note 7 finally.

I wouldn't mind a Mate myself. (Aside from my wife, HA!)

Looks like tomorrow is the day. http://androidandme.com/2017/01/news/huaweis-mate-9-launching-in-us-with-amazon-alexa/

Will go well with my Amazon echo's.

OK people just fired up my new Mate 9 with dual sim cards. Just left Verizon and my Note 7. Now on AT&T! So far the phone seems awesome! I now have 2 numbers on my phone and it has been great so far today! Business and personal combined I have been waiting for years to do this. Tweaking it all night. I'll check back tomorrow. I know this phone is slow to get out since only Best Buy etc. are selling them. Well I got creative and I'm psyched!!! Lets go!!

Mine is on the way too.. after 2 Note 7's I went for a Moto Z while waiting for the dust to settle and see what's next but the Note 8 is too far away and the Z wasn't good.
Fingers crossed this is the one.

Looks like a nice phone, is it Dual SIM active active?
As in you can call from SIM1 to SIM2?

 

[dontpanicbobby]

That's what he said.
@Fun Human - Calls too?

 

[Domin6]

Well he actually said nothing about it being active active, its a dual SIM but those come in several different versions too.
Active Active = You can call from SIM1 to SIM2 from the same phone.
Active Passive = SIM1 to SIM2 calls will get you to voice mail as SIM2 is put offline when SIM1 is in use.

@Fun Human can you clarify this?

Sorry folks for the delay. I think it's Active Passive. I tried to call SIM 2 from SIM 1. It rang a few times then voicemail. SIM 1 is my primary SIM. Calling from SIM 2 to SIM 1 I got voicemail immediately. The call actually shows up as to voicemail in my recent calls with my full phone # displayed as the # called.

Miss the dedicated home button and stylus (Note 7)but nothing else. This is a great phone.
