I'm Finally Giving Up My Flip Phone
I fear change.

I got underwear that are part of...

Well...

Let's talk about Dinny's new phone!

Don't care about internet GBs. Want to take good low-light videos & pics with a good mic w/overload protect with lots of storage space.

You know, for like, band stuff.

And I want the texts I receive to not be a bunch of gobbledy-gook.

Hate .MOV files. Want Microsoft friendly? Or what?

TIA
Dinny

I have never owned a cell phone. Never owned a pager. I do have a home phone, but I bet I don't use it 10 minutes a year.

Got the new Note 8 Friday. Spent the weekend in the manual whipping it into shape.

Love the translator. Love the S-Pen.

The camera is other-worldly.

Still some aggravating little quirks yet to solve. Will be testing the GPS on my Memphis trip this week.

Overall, I say this new phone is positively ducky.

Now you just need to learn how to flash a custom ROM before Touchwiz starts to bog down the phone and it begins to stutter.

Congrats, enjoy. Nicely done on getting your research in first.

I've soooooo been where you are now, Dinny

Had the same flip phone for 12-13 years, and never gave one hot damn about upgrading... my phone worked just fine

Then I was able to 'upgrade' to an I phone 3, hesitated at first bigly, but then took it thinking what the hell, at least I'll be able to take some really slick pictures and video

I'd seen what my kids and friends phones were able to produce in that medium, and was impressed... 'wow you can zoom in nicely, its crystal clear, amazing!' so what can I lose by getting with the times?

Literally the only reason for taking the new phone was for that

The first chance I get to really enjoy those features, was a RATT concert this summer... I'm RIGHT next to the stage, Warren DeMartini is RIGHT in front of me

So I'm snapping away, and recording video when not doing that

Viewing it on the screen I'm thinking 'well hopefully this gets a LOT better when I view it all later'

Oh no, it was all terrible quality... the kids say well you need to make sure its had all of its updates

So the daughter is over a while later and says 'yeah sorry, but its as upgraded as it can get'



ALL of the hassle of switching over, and learning an entirely new phone... and yet the ONLY reason I took it for is a moot point, AWFUL picture quality, AWFUL video quality

But at least I get KINDA accurate weather updates on it!



I knew when taking it, that it wasnt a 5-6-7 model... but AT LEAST expected high quality pictures

**** technology

I just ran across an old Motorola razor flip phone in a box in the garage that never saw the light of day after i moved ten years ago. Ànd i really miss the small size. I like several of the features of the newer smart phones but i dont need a huge screen. I wish someone would make a small smart phone. But i think i must be in the minority and everyone else wants a big screen to watch porn.

I heard flip phones might be coming back again.

I'm an Android fan, personally, but if you want something that just works, an iPhone may be the way to go. Otherwise, I'd largely tell you to visit a store and see what your options are. If it's your first smart phone, you're going to care as much about the look and feel as you are about the software and specs.

If you need a place to start for an Android phone, the Moto G Plus 5 is pretty solid for a cheapo.

Can't believe I'm going to say this, but I agree with DaFace that an iPhone is probably the best option for you. Its simple to use and pretty much no tweaking allowed so you can't really screw anything up.

I prefer Android as well because I like to tweak and make it look the way I want it to. Apple doesn't let you do too much with how your pages look other than rearranging apps.

If you want a trial run, you can usually find the iPhone SE for very reasonable prices on prepaid plans.

What service are you on right now with the flip phone?

I only took it because it was free, Ma decided to upgrade and I took her old phone

My mistake for not questioning her more thoroughly about the damn camera... but still man, you'd think a 3rd generation smart phone could at least take great pics

Never paid much attention to the models my kids used, just assumed a 3rd gen would be roughly equal... lol NO
