New phone dance!

soc_puppetGuess who just got an ultra-fancy new phone? :D This gal-person!
It's a Moto G4, and it is much bigger than my years-old Sprint LG... something. Possibly just LG. So it's not going to fit in my pocket as well, but on the plus side, it'll feel a lot more like I'm holding a phone, and not, for some reason, a deck of cards next to my face.
New Phone is not yet operational; it's registered with our account and almost ready to go, but it's missing a bit of vital inside stuff that makes it go, so I need to go to [city where I work but don't live] to pick that part up and fully activate it.
Projected uses for New Phone:
* Finally have an electronic device that I can use a Square reader with
* Also be able to pull up coupons reliably at craft stores without having to haul my Nook around
* The Habitica app! I do not for a minute trust my internet to never go out again in the middle of the night before I've checked off some of my Dailies
* Same uses as Old Phone, which has been very good to me these past [#?] years.
Possible uses for New Phone:
* Pokemon GO??? I still haven't decided yet! The enthusiasm is very infectious, but I still don't know if it's for me? It's good to know that I have a phone that will work with it if I decide I do want to, heh, GO for it.
* Motivation for extending my pockets on a lot of my pants and shorts, because crap that thing is huge
* Unknown other things

Eh, Pokemon Go is entertaining, but outside of cities or in areas with hinky signal, it's a bit hard to use. (Also there was a privacy fail that's been extensively covered elseweb.)

Yeah, I'm definitely still undecided on it. I'm really jazzed about how enthusiastic it's made people (the excitement is catching!), but it's definitely not without flaws.
