Honestly, I couldn't go back to a dumb-phone.
There's too much stuff that I do on this Android (also typo correcting) that I just wouldn't be able to do on a simple phone.
I understand that there are people who only want a phone and, for those, this seems like a great one... But I've gotten used to having a miniature computer in my pocket. From internet browsing, to reading books, to playing games, to online banking, to music player, to sat nav, to media browser... I can't go back...

Up until two-and-a-half years ago, I was a phone-only, thankyouverymuch kinda guy. But now I have in my pocket a device that far outstrips my first 286 in every metric of performance, and with the advent of the Internet allows me to contact those whom I love through many different avenues besides phone-only.

For an old fuck like myself, I'm pretty up-to-date, no?

By the way, I had an original 3310, got it in 2001. Goddamned thing was bullet-proof. I put a 1/8" gouge in my screen at work one day, and kept using it for another two years, until battery-obsolescence forced me to upgrade -- 2006.
