My phone now a 10
Posted by: joerand on 23 March 2018
A 10 year-old phone that is. It's a Samsung flip phone still with its original battery and charger bought in February 2008 and it functions flawlessly. It initially ran for a week+ between charges, now goes 2-3 days. Fits in my pocket like a car key fob. It has survived all drops without an external case, costs $15 a month on my family plan, and shows no built-in obsolescence. I don't feel tied to it or lost without it. I'm not constantly fingering it, I don't use it while driving, I don't impudently drop real-time conversations when it makes a noise, and it controls little else in my life (I do use it as an alarm clock).
Might not be a "smartphone" per se, but as mobile phones go it's been as convenient and practical a device as I desire.
I had to change several phones every time when I changed the service provider. For now I am on Pantech ATT phone.
I loath any type of smart phone and still hanging on to an hard key phone. Plus I have a habit of losing a phone. :/
All I want from my phone is to make a call and receive a call.
