I know not what that is.

I don't "plan" to use any "data", certainly not with my fruit phone, unless "reading" is "using data" and my "plan" is to do a lot of that, on my Kindle.

Then they give me a look as if that's all so strange.

And I don't want a PDA + phone in one either... I prefer my PDA as it is, right now.

I finally just grabbed the cheapest one I could see and asked her if it made phone calls. She practically rolled her eyes at me and said it did. I bought it.

Still, phone to me is for making and receiving calls, nothing more nothing less.

My god talk about going retro. It doesn't get more retro than that Sweetpea. I wouldn't call it a mobile phone, more a phone without a cord I could see its advantages.

The battery-life must be quite amazing.

my phone is a basic model that I use as my "landline" phone. I also swap texts with my sister and that's it. Of course the phone has internet capability but I rather not pay for that. I use my wi-fi at home or in wi-fi friendly areas for my iPad which is 3G capable. If I am going out of town to my Mom's house, then I pick up the $25 monthly data plan from ATT for the iPad so I can keep up with my email, "chat" with you guys and other internet goodies like ABC tv shows and Netflix.

I like it but too rich for me ;-) My 4 year old F3 was just $25.00 (17.82 EUR).

NewEgg still has them at that price.

My cell phone is so old, it still looks like a phone. the color's all chipped off of it and the antenna's coming off. I'm actually comfortable with it. IT's the touch screen ones that do everything that confuse me.

Admittedly, I sort of like being unreachable, and blaming it on my poor cell connection when I want to be left alone.

Trust me when I tell you that I'm pretty sure my phone doesn't do much other than make calls and texts! It's a pretty old Nokia model.

It's his Droid - it types its own messages!

[kennyc]

And probably smarter than me too.

It is a SMART phone after all....

Is that you or your Droid typing? How can we ever tell?
Hmmmm.... Who won the World Series in 2033?

Wouldn't you like to know?
