I broke down this spring and got rid of my flip. The only advantage I gained is the ability to watch porn anywhere. And pay $80 a month now instead of $25.
Don't conform.

A few years ago I lost my iphone and had to use a flip phone for a while, I remember feeling kind of liberated and way more engaged in the present. But like someone else said, you can watch porn on smartphones....

I just met up with some people from my high school class. 10 yearrrrrssssssss. We were talking about how flip phones were fucking cool at one point. I remember when I got a flip phone in 10th grade. Shit was dope. Clamshell lyfe.

And the moto razr was a flip phone, and that was more coveted than an iphone. There wasn't samsung and apple fighting, it was just like "omg that phone"

I never owned one but that was hot shit.

Still using the same Samsung flip phone and I have no plans to switch. Originally got one with a weird battery (don't think they ever recalled it) when I brought it in they basically ripped it out of my hands and then came back with all my data loaded on this guy. Think they gave me the kind that lasts forever because of the weirdness. Anyways, think it's been like 10 years now and I've bought a lot of cool stuff with the money I saved.
Can't get everyone else's picture messages because they are getting way too big but fuck them I don't need to see that shit anyways. Also, I get more bars than anyone I know so that makes me wonder how smart the antennas are in these new phones.

I had a slide phone up until last February. It had a weeklong battery life and didnt distract me from classes/homework etc... Now I have a smartphone, it honestly is bad because Ill watch ski edits during class and the battery lasts only one day. my jackass phone carrier was going to up my price to where it would be equivalent to a smartphone rate, so I caved... Sucks because its the only carrier that gets good service around here.

Yeah I figured it was the I phones. Sometimes I get like 5 messages with one or two words each. On the upside I actually called my ski buddy and had a real conversation since I couldn't read any of his texts.

Dog ate my flip phone charger today. Probably have to buy a new one unless I can find an extra at home somewhere. Looked it up and they are like $10 and that's $10 more than I paid for the freaking phone.

Didn’t have a phone or anything until hs, it was a Pantech... Korean POS. Fuck phones... also fuck technology all together and Donald Trump and his terrible administration and nuclear weapons and people in general. The Native Americans should have killed killed Columbus and pissed on his body.
