Am I too old?

You are never old! My classmates use smartphones because they don't have laptop.In fact,phone by definition is used to make and receive phone calls.And It's ok if you don't have smartphone because you don't need these applications.Many people don't need them,too. And I'm happy to find such a frugal person like you.

I think you aren't an old woman, nor being dubbed as an old fashioned one. You are just a practical user of technology. You use things according to it's purpose. Yes, gadgets are improving and upgrading almost every year if not every month and it we want to be updated it requires a lot of money to do it. Sometimes people to tend to be technologically updated regardless of its usage. The purpose of the phone is to send and received message, give and answer calls and if it serves its purpose then that's fine. Having an internet is indeed wonderful but if you already have a laptop or computer then that's enough. That's I guess being wise and practical. Well, updated gadgets are somehow good for its in, and for status symbol sometimes.

don't worry you are not alone. I read its review online and well yes there were amazing features i guess but it is just a very expensive phone for me. i am using samsung corby 2 right now. I had an iphone which my brother gave me but i gave it to my mom, i find it hard to call using that phone and even to text.

No, there's no age when it comes to technologies. Some elderly are still techie. They are more updated than me. LOL. We don't care much of new technologies especially when we are already satisfied with what we have. Happy mylotting.

When you buy this new technologies it must be a necessity not just for luxury, however if you are rich then i think its okay..you can spend it. But for me, i don't find it oldie as what you're friends say, you are just being realistic. You don't need to buy all the latest gadgets just to be in or impress everyone. How can you find the value of things if you don't appreciate it long enough. I am proud of you of having this kind of attitude, with this attitude you will have a better future.

Hi ryanong, i think you not too old, your just being very practical person who's liked to use things or phone who are still working very well than buying a new one which is really cost a lot of money. Like you i am not using any iPhone's because it's too expensive better to keep my money and use it in some important things.

I don't think it has to do with age but rather that you don't see the need for all the technology. It is like with everything I suppose, those people that must have the latest car, the most modern television, the most modern everything, it doesn't matter what age you are it is about what someone finds interesting or gives priority to. As long as you feel that what you have is enough, it is.

I like technology, however, I am not interested in iPhone products at all. I can list reasons not to buy it. In fact I feel like that iPhone today seems to be show off rather than its practical usage. People want to tell that they can afford iPhone, as to whether they can take good advantage of it, I have a big doubt. I can buy very good cellphone with less money. I think buying iPhone is not wise.

Since you do not intend to replace your cell phone, then is no need to understand more information about iphone 5. I agree with you that everyone should base on own actual needs to choose cell phone. The others do not agree with your view is nothing to be done, so you'd better forget these unhappy things soon.

Hi, Not too old, just clinging to what is familiar. I am not ignorant of new trends in technologies being a computer technician and programmer but when it comes to my personal preferences, I tend to stick to what is proven and reliable aside from the high cost of acquisition which I can ill afford. So why get something new if I can use what I have now at no cost at all.

If they think you're too old, then your friends must think I'm ancient... No, you're not 'old' just because you don't feel like using iPhone5...

Well u need to chill and just give a damn to whatever other people say. Interestingly i am also using a Samsung Champ and i am very happy with my possession. Yes of course, there is a huge hype among the people regarding Iphone 5 but what's the big deal with that. It is just a matter of making and receiving calls and nothing other. The ones who have called u old are using cell phones just for a fashion statement. One does not become old if he is not using the latest technology, u should have given this statement to them. What say?

Hi friend, i don't think you are old due to this silly issue. Don't care about your friends words, as you mentioned you are comfortable with your present phone, so there is no need to change it for this kind of reasons.

They are wrong my friend. You're not too old. Being not updated on latest gadgets or technologies doesn't mean we are old. I'm just 25 years old and I have a locally made phone here in our country and that's not a smart phone too. Then they would call me old because of that? No. They are wrong. Like you've said you owned a Samsung Champ, because you just need it to make and receive phone calls and chat with your friends on YM. See? That's the real reason why mobile phones are invented. To communicate easily. People nowadays aren't just contented on what they have. So they keep on inventing and/or upgrading things. You should always remember that we buy things based on 2 different reasons. First, we buy things because we "need it". Secondly, we buy things because we "want it". As you've said earlier you have a mobile phone mainly for communication purposes only. So you've bought the Champ because you need it. And may I add, we buy things to make us happy not to make others happy.

Even I would say why would I require them. I have a phone to make phone calls. for taking photos, i have good enough camera and fine Walkman to listen to music. Just because something is fantastic doesnt mean I need to have it. I need something that is useful to me, not that is flashy to my eyes. i would say you have taken a fantastic decision. if somebody calls you old, correct them and say that you are wise.

Ryan, i think you are not alone since myself also haven't have any Iphone yet. I think it is not necessary for me yet since my phone is still alright. I don't want to waste money into buying Iphone just because it is popular nowadays. In my area here, it is sold very expensive. So, i prefer to use my money for other more important purposes. Maybe one day, when my phone is out of order, then i might consider to switch to touch screen phone but not necessary Iphone.

so it`s same with me..iam awkward for using the modern cellphone.. iam satisfied with my old nokia phone.. i don`t think it`s urgent for me buying Blackberry, Iphone5 or maybe Samsung galaxy.. maybe if i have few money, it`s better for saving.. i don`t care if my friend said like that because i only have a old phone..

and the story will go on.... when Iphone 7 comes, they will tease you again that you should have the new Iphone 7 like what they did. OMG.... I don't know why everyone got gadget fever attack.the problem, sometimes they buy it just to follow the trend and do not really need the feature as cool as that smartphone. it's only show off... if you smart you won't buy it except you really need it. just glad with cellphone you have, don't give additional contribution for technology waste!

Oh, don't take what they said to heart, you know it's just ridiculous, especially when you know your own real age and how young you are ;) My friend who's older then me said the same thing twice, jokingly of cos, simply because I'm still using an old model of laptop to do my work. He said it's time I upgrade, buy a new model blah-blah, then he said I'm old and living in the stone ages. I just laughed and said I'm very satisfied with my old laptop and it suits my need; besides I don't need to buy a new product every time one comes out!

hi,Samsung is most popular cellphone ,iphone5 isn't better than Samsung,i don't like iphone,its screen is too small,all smartphones are similar,only a little different function.I love Samsung 9300
