Cell Phones Too Complex.

I hate touch screen phones, which 95% are now. May I please just have a phone I can dial without having to unlock, press dial pad, then dial etc?.

And, most of the features included on these damn phones I never use/need...and it takes me 2 weeks just to learn how to use the features.

Technology is wasting my time, when I was always under the impression it was created to do the opposite.:mrgreen:

Peace

try getting a tracphone or prepaid, they seem to be low tech. been using those for years, and i agree about the disliking of having a miniature computer in your pocket that can track and trace you wherever you go.

smart phones are terrible. i absolutely refuse to get one. still using my 5 year old cosmos. smart phones are making people so utterly useless and stupid, dont have to know anything anymore with interwebs and apps at your fingertips.

Not to mention the GD cost. We had 2 iphones w/AT&T, paying $250/mo with the data plans and minutes. That's $3,000 a year for cell phones!!!!!!!!!!!! We dropped them like a bad habit, had the phones jailbroken and use a pay as you go for $300 a year now. Never miss AT&T, so we get to keep $2,700 a year of our money. Of course wifi still works on the phones.

Smart phones are for dummies.

my phone is the cats ass.. its well.. haha i just noticed this.. it doesn't have a model name on it.. its red, thats all.. but its an LG flip phone. i have had two of the same phone since highschool.. this one has been in the ocean, in a pool, in the toliet.. still works.. ran it over with a car twice now.. lost it in the woods for a week. taken many a hit.. yes its in rough shape aesthetically but work brandy new.

no need to worry about dropping it, or someone stealing it.. i even have 'web2go' and i can see tits on a Google search in under 5 mins hahahah so its legit.( i have only used it once to see if it worked).

fuck the iphones/smart phone craze... look around see what its doing to people, glued to there phones walking around like zombies. the myans were right, the world did end its nothing like it used to be..
I was at a party asked how it was when i got in, kid looked up from his phone said "oh its sick, i just instagramed this pic" i looked around and 95% of the people where looking at their phone or other peoples phones 100% of the girls had their phones in their hands, or on the table infront of them. i said FUCK this im going to the beach, people looked at me stunned.. but dude you just got here.. all i herd was but dude i don't get service on the beach

Smart phones gave me wings! I can restart a server anywhere! YES! Before that I was tied to a console. But yeah the kids today are scary. I'm looking forward to them getting their HUD's installed so they can actually look up and stop walking into things.

As an aside what has me really concerned is the coming toaster rebellion, but I digress.

wait untill google glass! lol then i'll start using the newfangled technology. i spend too much on my Gaming PC in upgrades to be wasting money on smart phones, but the google glass to me seems like a new level of invasive technology, although it will do wonders for POV porn.

I don't know how to lock this phone w/o reading the manual, which I never had to do with my old motorola dial pad phones. And those phones could be dropped from a 4 story building and survive. If this one falls more than a few feet, it's over.

can you not just buy an old motorola dial phone and put up prepaid cell time on it?
