My cell phone - RIP

[Wu Wei]

My cell phone died over the weekend..... I can dial and it can receive calls, but I can't hear who is calling and they can't hear me talking......They just don't make phones like the use to..... I have only had it for close to 10 years......and now....I am being forced to get a smart phone....... BAH!!!!

You're welcome but you're only allowed to cry in 8-bit.

Forget the smart phones. They were never made to last. Planned obsolescence.

This model, on the other hand, was built to last. They will still work. They're still "supported."

I'm sure there are some ancient cellphones that can be found just like one can find bows, spears and the like. In fact, if this were another thread, I would call you a loser for not doing the obvious search first

Funny, my cell phone stopped playing music yesterday.

And the volume was on and everything. The music just kept stopping

I still use an old flip phone. Though, I don't use it as a primary means of communicating; I still have a land line for that. I keep it in the car with the AAA emergency number on it in case I break down or can't find someone.

I too use landline for main communication, when I'm home. But everyone and their bother contacts me on my ex-flip phone

What I found interesting is that your digital clock is set to 10:10, an artifact of the past when analog clocks were shown in an aesthetically pleasing, symmetric way set to that time :

Yeah, try downloading an app on that thing.

 

[Wu Wei]

I'm now thinking I should get one of these to replace my poor, missed, dead, (sniffle) flip phone

Certainly looks big enough to download these app things that people speak of...got lots of room inside I'm sure
