For those that resist giving up their flip phone...
Saw this Dilbert comic and it reminded me of members of RV.net who insist they don't need/want a smartphone and that their flip phone does everything they need. Dilbert comic

I love my flip phone. The battery life is phenomenal!! It usually lasts a month or two.
Hmm, my wife says it wouldn't last that long if it was actually turned on. Guess there's a downside to everything. I love gadgets, but the smartphones simply cost too much, not so much the initial cost, but the continuing connection charges. Many people are paying over $1000 for a year's usage. I just think of the amount of fuel I can buy with that, and it helps put things in perspective.
Uh, you sound like my wife. She keeps her flip phone turned off almost always. In fact, she's famous for being out somewhere, turning it on to call me, gets voicemail because I'm on The Throne or something, leaves a message to call back, turns her phone back off, then complains when she gets home that I didn't call her back. Doesn't seem to make any difference that it is hard to call somebody whose phone is OFF. Also didn't help when I accessed her voice mail to prove I DID call her back. I'm back sleepin' in the Big House now.
