    You do realize you only have a cell phone so the deep state can keep track of you until they can implant one in your head when you're asleep dude! We're watching you! (The Cloud)

    I held off for as long as I could (late 2012) but my wife needed a “bell on the cat”. If it would still update, I’d still be using my old bottom line iPhone 4. I HATE telephones...........but I do enjoy having an encyclopedia in my pocket.....

    I just can't stand using them is all. Trying to text on them, forget about it. Beyond that, I rarely have use for a phone anyway. I think I use the phone about once or twice a month.

    Me and a cellphone. :smiley-love:

    you guys are cool...not me

    my last connected phone was a little flip-up without a camera and I didn't have a texting account. I used a cell phone to make phone calls....radical. Then, I retired and said fuck it since my wife has a smart phone

    she has a Moto G6, and we have a cheap account at Twigby. It's a real bargain for both calls and data if you're a low volume user. We're currently at 12-15 dollars a month

    I do now have a Moto G7 Power. It has a 5000 mAh battery and I use it as an e-reader (Kindle Prime) and for some internet surfing. No phone account on it. IMO, this is the best solution for e-books. Much better than a Kindle or the like

    **********************************************************

    I have a question: how many GB's of data do you guys average a month?

    LOL....I was thinking 1 GB was a lot of data.

    I'll have to check but I'm wondering if there are Android browsers that can load web pages without loading all the graphics that are data hogs. I know very little about this shiz

    Got my first cell phone a couple years ago....although my wife uses it most of the time...I leave it on my desk where my landline used to be and never carry it around much. It's great for curbside pickup when shopping these days and I needed it to get my covid test at the drive through...they call you when you que up..the doctors and the VA text me instead of calling me which I really like..and I get zero spam calls on the Iphone...my landline used to get a lot of spam calls...my favorite thing about cell phones is the camera

    When you finish 4K you can move onto 4H and learn useful life skills like castrating piglets and sheep husbandry

    A couple months ago I upgraded from a Pixel 3a to a Samsung S20. Love it. I never consider getting the extra big phones, they just seem cumbersome and I don't see any real advantage for me. But I do have Trump sized hands so maybe that's the real reason.

    Back in my working days I was traveling up to Seattle and called into The Sports Babe Show and she answered "rich guy with a car phone". Back then in 86 my company paid for a hardwired car phone and then went to nokia flip.
    Wonder what ever happened to the Sports babe?

    The Cloud sees all! You triggered it when you downloaded the sheep husbandry app
