Default Non-smart phone users?

I know this forum is comprised of iPhone breakers and Droid phone hackers but this thread isn't for them.

Anyone here still uses a cell phone to simply make calls or send the occasional text?

My phone has a built in MP3 player that has never had a song loaded on it. It has never sent or received a picture message (not sure why, my wife had the same phone and pics were no issue but I don't care to figure it out). The background on my screen is one of the default options and the ringtone is the one it had out of the box.

I send texts often enough to know which auto-recognized words to correct but not enough to need a keyboard.

The phone still makes and receives calls and texts. I'm still rocking my 4 or 5 year old Samsung Juke.

Who is with me?

My in-laws have those phones.

Not sure I can look at you the same way anymore.

I have an old Motorola flip phone. I use it as a Phone. I don't have voice mail, I even have text switched the fuck OFF at Verizon.

I have this other piece of shit called a Computer. I use it for everything else.

I was anti-text for a long while.

When planning or meeting with multiple people, it is far easier to send one text than make 10 calls.

Your phone is fancy compared to mine.

Mine's whatever was the free one that week. Texting is gay, and typing with your thumbs is bi-curious.

I only care about one thing; Can I hear who I'm fucking talking to?

Maybe I missed it, but when I went to look for a phone that had the best sound quality, both incoming and outgoing, they weren't rated that way. I could find out which one had the best graphics, or some other non-fucking-telephone related shit, but sound quality? No.

Excuse me, but this is still supposed be a telephone, is it not? Everything else is superfluous bullshit.

You've taken the first step down the slippery path to smart-phone-dom.

Gateway texting.

Soon you'll be streaming video while sitting in a Starbucks in a pool of your own drool.

If I can ever get ten fucking people together to fucking do shit, I'll consider it.
