Thread: New phone bitches!

  1. #1

    Default New phone bitches!

    Well, I have finally joined the current day of phone. No longer am I in the past with my flip phone, no touch screen or keyboard, and am on to the Nexus 4 phone, complete with touchscreen!

    Part of me feels my soul fading away, as I let go of part of who I once was by advancing my phone tech, but then I realize the smurfs I once had had dissipated!

    How far behind on your phone technology are you? When did you finally catch up to the modern day models?

    We still have a home phone, which I recently found out is becoming a declining trend...

    Nexus 4 is sweet. I have the Nexus 7 tablet and I love it.

    As far as being behind on phones, I have an HTC Sensation. Came out a little over 2 years ago. I'd love the version of the HTC One that's coming out with just stock android, but I can't find reasons to justify spending the $500 to $600 it'll run me. I'm still pretty happy with my current phone.

    I still prefer to talk on my home phone if I'm home though.
    You think a minor thing like the end of the world was gonna do me in?

    I got my first smartphone 2 years ago, and I thought I was behind. I haven't even had a landline since high school.

    I got a smartphone by mistake just last month. All I wanted was the cheapest phone that I could get for a second phone that had a qwerty keyboard, and then I realized that it was very different from any other phone that I have had. I actually prefer my old little LG, and I still have it, but my new Samsung does have it's little perks... of course they do cost more. I still mainly use it just for texting and getting work calls. I use my regular land line for all else... unless I'm traveling, but even then it's just for quick calls. It does take better pictures though than my little LG and I do like that. I found that the touchscreen though is just a little too touchy and I end up in places that I don't want to be a little too often.

    I have the HTC One w/beats audio. Suck on that. Naw, Jay had to switch from Sprint to AT&T 'cuz he gets -no- service on base when he's out in the field, so they let him terminate his contract with no fees. We both got the HTC.

    Naw, my ex upgraded to the S2 and gave me his Galaxy S, but it completely died on me, so I had to go buy a cheapo $20 t-mobile flip phone. It was like I was back in high school at work over that stupid thing. "Oh she got that iPhone 20, huh?" -_-; Assholes.

    I've had smartphones since 2007, but I gave up my faithful Blackberry for a touchscreen in... 2011, I think.

    I refused to go to touchscreens for a long time because I didn't think I'd like the keyboards, but they aren't so bad. I was amazing at texting on Blackberries without looking at the screen, though. I do miss that. But my Galaxy S3 is undoubtedly the best phone I've ever had, so!

    I didn't have a smart phone until about a year ago, I think. The only reason I got a smart phone was because my old flip phone finally died, and my mom decided to give me her old MyTouch 4g. I only really use it for calling and texting, though. It has come in handy when I need quick directions or something, though.

    I still have the samsung epic 4g, but once I get up $ 200 I plan to get the s4.

    Probably five years behind or so. I don't even have a qwerty keyboard or a way of pulling one up. It's a flip phone and all it really does is make calls. It would suck but on the other hand I use my phone for maybe two minutes a week.

    I'll bother catching up when Firefox OS shows up in the States.

    The iPhone 4 is currently in my possesion. I want to trade it back for my old qwerty keyboard phone. It was so much easier to type on that.
