So true.

Posted on my iPhone 5S. As are about 90% of my posts.

I'm considering making that leap. 95% of my home internet usage is email, web browsing, or streaming Netflix. I can do that on a smart phone at a lower monthly price point than my U-verse connection, and service won't be limited to one location.

I had one of these before I had the one you are talking about.

I had a neighbor back in the days before "mobile" phones went mainstream who worked for one of the major phone companies. That looks just like a phone he showed me one night after work. He was telling me how his company believed this was the phone we would all be using in the future. Even he laughed at the idea. They were "making" he and the other techs use them. It was a trial period for determining the efficiency of using mobile phones. The way I reacted to that phone, one would believe I was an Indian seeing white men for the first time. The cost per minute to use the thing was some crazy high dollar amount. I will never forget telling him how ridiculous I thought the whole idea was. Good night nurse! Why on earth would anyone want to talk on the phone while driving around town?
