I can't justify paying that much money for a phone

Some of the people I follow on Twitter I have it set to text me anything they post. Its good when I'm bored because I don't have to search for their posts. The only issue is there are a couple of them that are on the west coast.
As I go to bed they start posting messages on Twitter which causes my phone to beep. James

Can't afford the extra cost, and don't see a reason for it. I've never NEEDED the internet, or an app, or whatever, when I was somewhere that didn't have wifi or other access.
I did have a BB for awhile, before deployment, but only so I could use it as a modem to my computer at MOB station. I knew they wouldn't have wifi there, so I planned ahead. I don't miss it a bit now, but it is tough finding a decent "dumb" phone. Looking at the Convoy 2. |

Plus its just something to kill a bit of boredom during the day. Plus I have been using it looking for jobs and so on for over a year. There was a period of 9 months or more that I checked it 5 times a day for jobs while doing other things. Plus the email is also a great tool. I know its not for everyone but for me its wanted and at times needed. James

This is me, for the most part. Erik on the other hand is on his 24/7, just texts. We were talking today and it was going off. Started to really piss me off. Going off as I type this and I'm ready to f*ing scream!

My smart phone has, for the most part, has cut back my use of computers to a large extent. I almost never check email on the computer now. I stream netflix on my phone far more often than I do on the computer. I check my social media stuff on the phone. The camera (with the help of a camera app or two) has replaced a standard point and shoot. For me, it's a justifiable expense for the added convenience it gives me.

Texting to me is a big pain in the ass. I try to do as little of it as possible. There is no phone that allows you to type as fast as a PC.

Voice and swype are pretty close. I put a smart phone and a tablet to sturgis. I had no internet connection.... cured me pretty quickly of my smartphone addiction. It was absolutely liberating.
