    Oh yeah, I've gone through 3-4 chargers for the thing by now. I need a new one gain. They're like 40 bucks.

    hey, me again, i just wanted to say i admire you for not having fallen into the consumer-trap from the very start. It is not easy and most people have. Also: I have chosen to work from the computer because it gives you freedom of time and location, making you a little bit more independent. Downside: I need to keep buying smartphones, laptops or else I cant work. I hope you got my message ? I dont do it for fun. Smartphones take your time and phantasy. They also destroy relationships. Yes they do.
    If it wasnt for the job i would never run around with a big,breakable smartphone taking half of my jeans pocket space nor would i bother about stupid little problems that occur with my laptop

    I think as far as the cars go, they do quite a bit to insure your safety in the event of an accident. Maybe they use lighter materials for fuel efficiency? That's what I think anyway.

    I hear you with the laptop. I had a Lenovo laptop that would disconnect from WiFi at random. We hired people to try to figure it out, but in the end it was difficult to replicate the problem. They ran diagnostics but couldn't find anything wrong with the (wireless card I think it's called) computer. I haven't had problems with Dell so far, so maybe their laptops are superior or something.

    I never understood why someone would buy a phone that you need to flip open.

    I loved my flip phone when I had one. And I had it for a long time, still used it when most other people had smartphones already.
    It literally fell apart in the end lol. But although it has served me well, I really wouldn't want a new one in this smartphone age.

    I don't get this stuff about new phones suck because they damage when you drop them.
    1) they really don't damage that easily in my experience. Unless you throw them :p
    2) its a hundreds of dollar pocket computer. Maybe just be a bit more careful or something.
    3) if that's not an option because one is spastic or just unbelievable clumsy or something there are very practical cases to put around your phone.

    my low budget phone is a flipper....i bought one because it was the cheapest solution to ''no phone'' ...i was done with apple by then

    ive heard of these since thin..mini cellphones...they are 20 to 50 dollars....some are just usb size....some are designed to be smuggled in your ass...all are really small

    although now i lose my phone in the house everyday....a mini cell phone would likely make me crazy losing it all day long...i'm a bit of a stoner so sometimes i misplace stuff :)

    Yeah a stoner's phone really shouldn't be as small as an USB stick :-D That's just asking for problems!

    i tell you why: 1.half of the phone protects the screen+keyboard 2.it makes the phone even smaller when flipped. i have owned many many fliphones throughout my life. 30-40 or so. The reason why: in austria your mobile operator gives you a brand new phone every now and then if you signed a contract with them, because you collect points every month, the more you talk the more points you get, you can exchange these points then for a new phone. In Spain its way different. they dont give you shit here
