...still wondering what would happen if Recluse went to the nearest Verizon store and asked for "the plan with the snarky short broad...."

Yes. If I have to plug it in every single day, I'll be without a phone about 13 days in two weeks. Because I simply forget it. My phone will hold its charge between 2 and 3 weeks. And I still forget to charge it...

I had a HTC, from work, it had a querty keyboard (hated it), it had a numeric pad (hated it). And it was empty every day. I asked for a regular phone.

I have had a simple Nokia, with a keyboard, which I loved (but which is sadly dead)



This keyboard worked perfectly. It could hold its charge for over 2 weeks and was easy to use, no fancy stuff at all. But it looked great and it handled great.

Neat! I do know what you mean about charging, I forget to charge mine, too. It's SO easy to get spoiled to e-ink devices that go weeks without charging, that we expect our phones to do that, too. Or at least it'd be nice

Just put "abacus" in the search at Android Market; there's only 2 of them, this one's by Asial. It has a digital counter at the bottom so even if you don't know how to use one you can learn (hint: think counting by 5 instead of by 10).

I generally keep it above 70%.

Now that's a cool phone! I love those simple Nokias, I've had several myself. They've all survived falls from great heights! Come to think of it, with my history of dropping cell phones, I'm better off never getting an expensive cell!

The top two reasons, right after "I don't need to be in contact with the World 24/7" why I don't own a cellphone:

They are too damn small to use,
and they are too damn delicate.
I drop things.
