    When my contract is up in July, I'm looking for the biggest screen possible. I want to get a data plan, and you can't read anything on a 4" screen.

    I don't want no phone smarter than me. I'm no phone guy...I'd often prefer to NOT answer., A good old plug in phone with no Answer machine lets me IGNORE phones for awhile. Answer machines... I found.. make folks think I eventually check messages. Well..I guess once a week ain't enough? I LIKE people... face to face. Not too much a phone person.

    I would like a flip phone as well. I have a netbook that I travel with and get do all the internet / email on it. My smart phone is OK for some things. Apps make the text large enough to use. So I can read a book or magazine via most apps. But the internet- forget it. And texting is an extreme pain because of the small keyboard size.

    A large screen smart phone is too much of a pain for a guy to carry around. Unless you want a murse.

    Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is coming out in December. Big screen, fast, multiwindow, great phone, and it fits in backpocket.

    I have a note 3 now.

    I still have a Galaxy S3, and love it. Best smart phone I've ever had. Started out with a Blackberry Pearl if that tells you anything.

    After a suitable period of mourning, I started looking for a replacement. I am a victim of elder abuse! My son & my niece have been nagging me for years to get a smart-phone.

    In a moment of weakness, I did. I suspect they drugged me before taking me to store...I was in a daze by the time I left!

    I now have a phone that makes/receives calls (hooray!). It also seems to do everything else except load the dishwasher. It might do that but I have not explored all those stupid symbols on the multiple screens.

    If I disappear from the forum, I have probably been hauled away to the local funny farm (with my husband, 'cause they made him get a matching phone). I plan on requesting adjoining rooms with no phones.

    and, yes, I would really like some cheese & crackers with my whine.....
    LMAO because I've had a similar experience. I "inherited " my daughter's smart phone when she upgraded. While I was learning to use it my 11 year old granddaughter asked to use it to play a game ( which I didn't know was on the phone) . I said "sure honey but don't call China or anything"
    My daughter responded laughingly that" Sadie knew far more about that phone than I did." She was right. Guess where I go for tech support now?

    Don't sweat it, if you're not 25 or younger, technology has passed you by.

    Follow the money.
