Re: Smartphones suck
I saw an old guy at lunch today rocking one of those moto razrs from like 15 years ago. I was a little jealous for approximately three seconds and then went back to watching baseball on my phone.

It also wasn't an emergency, and had you not answered for a fortnight, no one would die or be harmed, so you could have written me a letter and been just as effective, and supported the USPS.lukethedrifter wrote:Using my smartphone I was just able to assist jcshutout with a query received on my smartphone.
I walked around outside and looked at the trees today during lunch. Saw people with smartphones staring away and wasn't jealous for any seconds.cardsfansince82 wrote:I saw an old guy at lunch today rocking one of those moto razrs from like 15 years ago.

Having trouble with the new phone and MMS. The wife is on a LOOOONG call trying to get it set up. Bless her. I'd have said F it, disable texting like 20 min ago.

Take 400 Cress seeds and place them into 12 trays. Then place six trays in two rooms at the same temperature. Give them the same amount of water and sun over 12 days, and remember to expose half of them to mobile [Wi-Fi] radiation.

Then it was just necessary to wait 12 days, observe, measure, weigh and take pictures along the way. And the result spoke was clear: cress seeds next to the router did not grow, and some of them were even mutated or dead.

Most solid rant ever. The world is a worse place because of smart phones. It's irrefutable.

I'm totally down. Cars just lead to pollution, suburban sprawl, dependence on foreign oil, etc. Also, horse droppings = free garden fertilizer!ghostrunner wrote:Get a horse!
If only going without a car in St. Louis was a possible option, just like how going without a smartphone is a possible, and the only good option. Oh well.

Re: Smartphones suck
Ok, so ranting and silliness aside, I'm having a heck of a time finding a decent rugged flip phone that can handle MMS. Had to return the one I bought as it was a mess. Upon reflection, the reason I've been so gung-ho on the clamshell model (aside from answering like Captain Kirk) is that years ago I had a touchscreen phone that would constantly be activated in my pocket. I'd get a text or call, and just moving around, or other items in my pocket would activate the answer, sometimes the speakerphone. It was a pile of crap.
So, in all seriousness, is this still a problem. Do phones activate in your pocket much?
