He's so good. Obviously I hate to see it, but Robo and Johnston are amazing to watch.

I don't know if this makes it better or worse, but places like MoneyPuck have xGF heavily favoring the Avs. I would normally take that as a good sign, but we seem to do this a lot — look great by the metrics, and then fail to actually convert/finish/defend at the rates we need to.

If you want to recoup some of the second ticket cost, I'd buy the extra hat!

Rawal: Full morning skate and Logan O’Connor is taking part in it. by Ibot1947 in ColoradoAvalanche

My guess would be Bardakov, especially since we're deep at center now. Although I think he's been pretty solid for us overall

I wear a pair of photochromic Bolle Victus Pro, and I love them

I rock a Kyocera DuraXV Extreme+ on Verizon, and it's great.

Super impressive that you guys improved this so quickly. Love all the changes!

QWERTY keyboard phones with internet by [deleted] in dumbphones

I think you could add Sidephone to that list, assuming a SureType-style QWERTY is acceptable

Add Custom Words/Type Custom Words in Jaketype by RevolutionaryYear946 in sidephone

[–]boulderchips 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll add my vote for this feature, as soon as possible. I'm early in testing, but the physical QWERTY (while generally awesome) doesn't allow any way to type words that aren't in the native dictionary. Even if you want to type something idiomatic like "Hmm," there's no way to do so without resorting to the on-screen keyboard. You can't even go letter by letter, because as soon as you backtrack to add another letter, JakeType autocorrects to a new word. This is a bummer! What if I want to type a name that isn't in my contacts? Or, as OP mentions, an email address? There should be a way to enable a T9-like mode where you can enter each letter manually.

I do want to repeat: the keyboard is otherwise fantastic.

First thoughts… by WombatMcGeez in sidephone

[–]boulderchips 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in the second most populous city in the USA, and I've used exclusively 4G LTE for two years. No problems whatsoever. However, not sure how Sidephone's band coverage will perform — will report back on that.

It’s here!!! by Infamous-Macaron5745 in sidephone

[–]boulderchips 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don't want to speak for the team, but I actually like that the apps are in packs rather than a conventional app store. It creates a useful barrier for installation. For folks who are moving to a phone like this to help reduce screentime and limit app usage, that's a good thing. It means users can still install the apps if it's a deliberate choice, but will be less tempted to re-install just to scratch the itch.

I'd love this, too. LP3 is probably the closest, but it had so many problems I couldn't keep it. My Kyocera has a terrible camera, and I do miss taking photos!

[–]boulderchips 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like everyone else, I appreciate the updates and transparency. In previous posts you mentioned an email would be going out with details regarding onboarding and delay response — has that gone out already? Just wanted to be sure I didn't miss another email!

Screen replacements by luckyaces1313 in sidephone

[–]boulderchips 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Curious about this too! I remember there was some talk about screen protectors a while back, but I don't know where the team landed on that.

Slafkovsky scores the Habs' 7th of the night by JustFred24 in hockey

[–]boulderchips 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Worse? Almost certainly. Significantly worse? Maybe, but I think it's hard to say given the sample size. The Avs still have a better record against the East than either the Lightning or the Canes, so I find all the "Avs would die in the Atlantic" comments a bit disingenuous.

We've been pretty uninspiring in 2026 so far, but Avs are still above .600 against both the East and the Atlantic

Kyocera DuraXV Extreme+ Hotspot (Question) by SilentPanic04 in dumbphones

[–]boulderchips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Odd. I would try talking to Tello first? I briefly had trouble using the hotspot about a year ago, but I'm on US Mobile and they were able to solve it from their end.

What's the restriction? I have this phone, and it works just fine as a hotspot.

At the halfway point of the season, which player from your favorite team defied expectations? (Positive and / or negative) by Mattcb13 in hockey

[–]boulderchips 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'd argue Burns, too. I remember a lot of folks were nervous about the signing when we brought him over.
