For some bizarre reason, I have been looking to buy a proper old fashioned mobile phone, particularly the Motorola V3 flip phone to replace my HTC when the contract runs out early next year. Must be getting old.
What? Why? It's not like a mobile phone is used for such backward things as talking and texting these days
My phone mainly acts as a second factor authentication device for logging into Lastpass, Gmail, Chromebook, Youtube, Paypal and eBay. With only 50 inclusive minutes/month I really only have it in case of emergencies but, with unlimited mobile internet, I can still make calls via VOIP for 0.5p/minute and I can still carry on working should my broadband connection fail - just switch the SIM to the Chromebook!
I almost never make calls, it's a mobile email device that's all, the work pays for it anyway, I have another one for personal use a very old Sony P910, that one makes calls to the Phils as for a tenner a month I get 50 minutes free to the Phils.
I've gone and done it - my HTC Desire S pawned for £120 with O2 Recycle and a brand spanking new Motorola Gleam + on the way.
My Galaxy is more than enough for my needs, I know, but the thrill to handle such an extreme piece of technology pleases me. The thing is that, due to work, I find myself all over the place, and need some means of keeping in touch, and the simple mobile wasn't adequate anymore.
