I even remember once, after working for a while in New York, I took off with a backpack for a slow trip round Latin America. In San Cristobal de Las Casas in southern Mexico, I sat in a chair on a hotel verandah, and heard a phone ring. It's not for me, I thought, and settled back in the chair. It can't be for me, nobody can call me now. Bliss! But now loads of people can call me any time.
And I don't really feel a need for mobile porn.
oh it's not a good sign that I've had tiffs with this phone already within 90 minutes is it? It's a good phone I'm sure but I'm just wondering what do I really need it for? 95% of its use will be calling and texting. Then again, other pay monthly deals are not much cheaper.

I know people with no pc no fancy phone even no mobile phone who are happier in this life and don't lose out on much, well except mobile porn

I know they'd never match

Just got a fancy phone through the post and 90 minutes later I'm already tired of effing around with it.
Maybe I just need to have a simple nokia pay as you go like I used to enjoy.
These new phones will just make me reliant and hooked on them for no particular reason. The facebook app has already annoyed me I don't want to know everyone's silly updates as soon as I look at my phone. My phone used to be my personal space.
discuss?
You don't have to have it - you have to download the FB app on the iPhone...
