Yeah, I wonder why that might be. Isn't it horrible how for the past 10 years, phones have only been getting worse and worse? I wish we were still living in those times, when phone manufacturers were making _real_ phones, instead of these pathetic excuses for mobile communication devices.

That reminds me, anyone else notice how cars today use way too much gas? My horse carriage uses no gas at all, even at 100 years old…



I'm perfectly happy with my 'just a phone' phone. I already have a ton of distractions in my life and I have yet to see what I could possibly gain from another source of interruptions. I've tried a smartphone for a week, twice in fact and have moved back quickly to the trusty and reliable golden oldie.

Horses and carriages are no substitute for cars in terms of speed, convenience and range.

Range = battery life, convenience = reliability, size, speed -> I can't talk any faster.
