And I refuse to pay for a ringtone. Apart from that I use the phone mostly for texting because my hearing isn't so good and I have it beside me when the computer is tying up the landline. I take it with me everywhere, but rarely check it for messages until I get home again. Unless I'm expecting a reply from someone. It has a camera which I've used twice, access to the internet if I want it, I don't that's what the computer is for, and I can load songs on to it if I want, but I use my i-pod instead.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-59857010293925390662010-11-04T00:34:59.101-07:002010-11-04T00:34:59.101-07:00Hey Pearl!

It's the same reason I have never seen E.T. - because everyone said I had too. I also refuse to text with my thumbs after developing typing skills akin to a concert pianist. The sad truth is that I really don't have anyone to call so a phone would be wasted on me.

I'm way past the age where I want to call someone just to chat unless I really, really haven't seen them in a long time. But I'm way behind in technology because I use my cell as a phone! I don't have apps. Actually, that's probably more because I can't afford the data accounts than because it wouldn't be fun.
