..and is it ever the coolest.

I had planned to get the Iphone 6..which is sort of a normal size smart phone.

But it dawned on me that I spend far more time holding it in front of me, just looking at it (GPS, e-mail etc)..than I do talking on the phone.

It's the one you want.

I heard that the flip phone is coming back. That's what I use. A lot of people just want a phone and not all the crap they hang on them these days.

If you just want a phone..a flip phone is a good choice.

But I wouldn't be able to share that with you today without my smart phone.

I am also listening to Rush on a station in L.A. on this phone while I'm typing..

I'm getting ready to buy a new desktop and get rid of my old Dell with XP. It's become a pain in the ass. I'm going to get a Dell Inspiron with Win7.

I've been talking about getting one of those; I may just have to take the plunge.

You haven't butt-dialed me with that one yet, I noticed. ;)

No, but give me time. You'll be surprised how well it fits into your front pocket.

I have 2 of these, http://www.ebay.com/itm/351237366026?_t ... EBIDX%3AIT , and for the price they are hard to beat.

What protective case are you using for it?

I can't remember what it's called..but it's clear, and not real heavy duty.

I had a Lifeproof case for my 4s, but this time I opted for something less bulky..instead, I added the glass cover for the face that Apple makes..and I took out the monthly insurance..I have been notorious for dropping phones

Unless you want that Apple pay stuff, I'd go with a 5S. sure the screen is a little smaller, but the price would be lower.

I've never seen an iphone do anything an Android can't do 500 times better.

I got an Android tablet. It's a paperweight, because I could never figure out how to use it.
