Im happy to report that I have rammed into 2 people this morning alone who priorized facebook over the walkway in their "to look at" list.
Its become my favourite hobby over the past few years.

At my work, if you're caught walking and looking at your phone you will have a prompt human performance review board. Entails getting railed on by a panel of people, which include a director. It's pretty funny.

My current Android is wearing out, and I am thinking about downgrading. I don't think I surf and text enough on my phone to justify the extra $70 or whatever it costs me per month over the cost of a flip phone.

I had a dumb phone for a lot longer than anyone I know, but a few weeks ago got a Samsung Galaxy s6 edge plus, and I don't think I'll ever be able to downgrade again.

I don't have a facebook, so that's not it, but between GPS, depositing checks and bluetoothing to my car stereo/home stereo is invaluable. Also it's just a very pretty phone, and pretty goes a long way with me.

I used to have smartphones but I broke them and got poor and now I have a flip phone for the maybe once every six months I need to use a phone.

Oh poo poo, nevermind, I also need it so I can know a food delivery dude has arrived since I don't have a buzzer.

I don't miss smartphone at all, I'm on the computer about 15 hours a day anyway. I will probably buy one again when I am not poor because I need something to do on the bus.

I'm usually not a fun of dumb technological gimmicks, but lol if you have a problem with smartphones.

It's a device, in your pocket, which you can use to:

- Listen to music
- Take pictures
- Read Emails
- Watch Netflix
- Surf the internet
- get map information
- Read books
- Play Games
- Tune your Guitar
- do online banking
- stuff like compass, thermometer, magnetometer etc
- chat with friends
- flashlight
- Kalender
- read the news
- etc

and, also, you can even use it as a phone!

It is basically the most important gadget I have, and it's portable and owns

i don't, i still use this


got an LG one of these. I've owned it for several years and now it keeps a battery charge for maybe 6 hours before its battery begins to turn on and off when not active. While charging, it shuts off and I end up turning it on to find several people angry that I had my phone off.

But I don't care, I hate phones anyway. With this, I can still use it as a basic mp3 player and I can set a basic wallpaper, and that's all I need. I do regret not being able to check out some of the cool cell phone games (particularly Final Fantasy Record Keeper), but I'm not gonna pay additional fees each month for internet usage and the potential to look at websites on a small screen. Would be nice, but I don't need it and I have enough bills to pay.

How do you trade pics with girls or with your SO? Usually girls like to randomly send pics of themselves or stuff they are looking at and be all cute about it..

Or like when you are out and about you take a pic of something goofy or dumb and post it on the group text message with your bros and all have a good laugh...

You don't do any of these things do you? You don't have a social life do you? You are not a properly functional citizen are you?
