I mean, I just realize that during my younger years I'm so addicted in cellphone like if there's a new released in the market I always find ways to buy it but for now seems like my excitement is gone. I don't like cellphone who has lot of features. Quite confusing. What I currently use is a phone that can be use for calling and sending messages and that's it. How about you guys?

Welcome to the world called practicality! hehehe, like you when I was young I often change cellphone model whenever I can or whenever I have money to buy. But now, I was able to go back to basic, I opted for phone that can text and call and no added features at all, it saves battery life much longer because the added program in the phone models today requires extra load to the battery life. But then, I was thankful that I have been able to experience the gift of our ever evolving technology and at least some of their products I have used are the best, but as a person grow more mature we opt for something that are practical and can be used in a much longer period of time.

Practicality is the exact term. Thanks to you. I guess my desire of having the best cellphone started to vanish when someone stole my precious phone. It happens during our speech training of one of the call centers in Alabang, Manila. We were around 20 aspiring call center agents. We do have a 10-minute break and I just left my bag with my cellphone in it coz I was in a hurry though in going to the powder room. When I came back and check if someone send me a message, to my surprise it's nowhere to be found. I felt so bad and in so much pain to think that someone on our group took it.

With me cellphone is just a tool for calling and text msg only so that i don't care much it is expensive, cheap or have many features, blah, blah..I don't spend much money for buy expensive phone because i never hand it 24/24. I always put it in my bag and then at home, i put it on table, that's it..i never spend time on playing games or blah blah on phone except i use it for chatting with friends...

I know some friends who can't live without buying new model of cellphones in the market. Normally, we don't need so much features on our phone. Having the feature that we need is enough. It's useless having all those features but we don't use most of it. right? Happy mylotting!

I usually am when I get a new phone, but the excitement wears off after awhile. I'm very glad to have a cell phone, and I'd rather have a cell phone than a home phone. I'm also pleased with my carrier. I like lots of features... but then I like the simple ones too. I could go either way. My boyfriend just bought me a new phone as an early birthday present and I really like it because it has a slide out QWERTY keyboard to it. I had said that I wanted one last year and he saved his money to get one for me, I'm so spoiled.

Both types of phone the new and old one has advantages and disadvantages in our lives. It's for us to think which one is better. Well, if you have lots of bucks on your pocket why not buy both to avoid ignorance of the new cellphone in the market. *wink*
Nice boyfriend huh and very rare to find nowadays.
Advance Happy birthday dismalgrin!

When I was at my 20s I always buy whatever new that suits my needs in the market. from pagers to a bulky cellular phones to handy phones. when I got married and had 3 kids my excitement is also gone as there are more important needs to be considered..
Still nothing is changed..Now I was replaced by my daughter on this gadget things..
and she get those out of my pocket.. Funny.. a circle of life it is.

I wouldn't say I love it, but I do enjoy the convenience that comes along with it. I also like the features on my current cell phone. It may not be the fanciest or the best, but I'm very happy with it and plan to keep it for a very long time.
Happy mylotting!

I got my first cell phone when I turned 18... I'm 41 now so that makes it 23 years ago... I've seen a lot of changes that phones go through... I've never really been that much into cell phones... I only saw it as a simple tool... Currently, I work part time as a translator & my work relies heavily on being able to communicate... I'm always on the phone... But if it wasn't for my work, I probably could do without one...

It depends on the personality I guess. Thumbs up to you. When I first got my phone, since then something is missing in my life if I can't use it. People like you is rare to find for now coz I've seen almost all the people around has cellphone even for kindergarten kiddos.

I love only my daughters no mobile or other things. This is useful only in emergency not wastage the time behind it. Playing game, hearing song, watching movies etc. I have no interest.

I love my cell phones! I have 2 devices, one new with touchscreen and android software with all the latest features and apps. My second cell phone is an old one that I've been using for 5 years and it's my favourite device. It's very durable and it still works perfect!

For business minded people cellphones are so important. They can't live without it. I remember my friend who managed a business, he has a lot of cellphones in his car and when it rings he can't pinpoint right away which one is ringing. He ends up laughing.
