OT: Am I the only one who doesn’t have a cell phone?

[quote=briansd1][quote=flu]Or get yourself a nice android based tablet…. like the Samsung Galaxy Tab…

I want to get one unfortunately it won’t be subsidized by AT&T.

Not a bad price at T-Mobile.

I’m getting weary of the Evil Apple, I will buy the competition instead.

I think that a smart phone is very useful. There are many other ways to cut cost, like not having cable or sharing internet with your neighbors. My cousin in NY shares Internet with the whole street using a network of wifi repeaters (which you make using used routers from Craigslist at $20 each).[/quote]

I’ll you what. If in the rare case I stumble across a partner/affliate/etc discount (which they usually don’t do), I’ll let you know, since these aren’t necessarily tied to a data plan… Paying $600+ for tablet is just looney imho. But I have to say, this tablet is pretty cool. And it’s just the size that I like…

Heh, heh…and I thought I was the odd woman out! I have a prepaid Tracfone, which my friend has labeled as “vintage.” It makes calls and can text message. No fancy apps, or other bells and whistles.

I use it for emergencies (very rare), and like others mentioned, calling home when at the grocery store, and while on travel. The problem with not using it much, is I forget to charge it, and then when I need it—I can’t use it! When it does ring, I can’t find it in my purse, or inadvertently hang up on the caller.

I did buy a new Tracfone, and then returned it. The new phones are crappy, so I decided to stick with the “vintage” one that still works fine.

Ever notice how airports are filled with people either doing things on phones, or talking on phones? What is so important I wonder? How can you do business while in an airport which is so chaotic?

Some months ago, I attended a Grand Opening Party at a hair salon. There was a DJ and the crowd was mostly hip 20 somethings. Most of them were on their phones texting and what not. I wondered why they went to a party, where there were others to meet, and spent the time on the phone?

I can tell you that cell phones and domestic violence have a direct correlation. They throw them, find each other’s text messages, break them, grab them from each other, demand to know who is calling, check each other’s phone bills, even use some cell phone tracking device to see where the spouse is. The guys get naked photos from other females and/or porn sites, the girls have text messaging relationships. When they argue, and one spouse won’t respond, the other spouse texts them in the SAME house! Even the same room! The girls text message next door neighbors and have ongoing dramas.

It drives me crazy when people have text message conversations. What the heck are you thinking, just call and get it over with. My wife does this to some of her bast friends, it makes no sense.

I do that with my sister. But it’s because she’s often in a classroom, volunteering… and so can’t talk.

I see coworkers do that in meetings – they can go back and forth without *overtly* disrupting the meeting.
