Dumb phone

[F, Calla & Luca]

Well, I made a comment in the Photography Group about buying a new smart phone since Verizon, my carrier, is switching data plans and, of course, things will get more expensive if I wait to buy a new phone. I need to do this before the 28th. It started lots of comments, some of which may be of more general interest.

There are days when I think I'll go back to a dumb phone that only does what a phone is supposed to do. But I do sometimes use the camera. I do use my phones GPS and occasionally I look something up. I do not</ strong> text. If I want to communicate I call and speak to the person or leave a message. How quaint.

I will copy others my and others comments as replies and maybe we'll have more of a discussion.

UPDATE: I Love my Samsung Galaxy S3. SUPER SMART!

VERY NICE!   The best small purse camera.  I think I have 502 to delete off my phone right now.  Always handy to capture a moment.

Holy Akron, 502. That's a lot. I doubt I ever took that many with my old phone for the several years I had it. But my phone is  almost always with me when I'm not home so it's very handy. And I could Skype if I wanted to : )

Holy Akron, 502--Ha Ha. 

No Skype here but who really wants to look at me when they call me?  Ugh

I have never Skyped either. I would feel responsible for the shocked viewer : )

The new smartphones take very good photos (no more dragging along the point n shoot.  I am getting a new phone in a couple of months and not looking forward to making that decision.  There are quite a few to pick from.  Love the day lily!
