LOL.. I am with the manager when it comes to old phones. Still using an old (5 years anyway, old by most people's standards) Huwei phone that is not a smartphone by any means. Bought at a K-mart (that should prove its age!) for about 15 bucks.

TO heck with the current phones, I will use it til it finally dies. Or I do first.

@Hounder I'm even more tech-challenged. I don't own a cell phone at all. I hate paying monthly fees and I like that when I'm off on my own nobody can bug me. (It's not that I'm a general Luddite--I do own an electric car)

@Purplelibraryguy Not tech-challenged here either, just no need for a smartphone, plus I don't use mine enough to justify the cost of the service. For my phone, I get a card of 300 minutes every 2 months, with permanent (!) unused time roll-over. SO far, I have enough time saved up to talk almost 7500 minutes straight.

@Hounder Permanent?! Nice. I'd considered trying for a setup like that, figured I could just tell a few people the number and keep it for just in case. But where I live I couldn't find anything that doesn't reset every year. Canada is a terrible place for cell phone stuff--small market, few providers who have the place sewed up tight, so we pay through the nose.

@ Purplelibraryguy Odds are you use the phone more than I do (as of right now, I really only get the cards for the service time -60 days), but maybe you can find one online- both the phone and a service that offers what you need. May be a basic one like I got, but there may still be a few around you can get and use the service still in Canada.

@icmaniac THE END IS NEAR!


(It was apparently wrapped up in volume ten, which came out last April. So the "publication status" label is indeed correct.)

Nope. I just know the internet says that it ended.

The newer phones are nice and all for some reasons. But god help me, if they don't start making phones with batteries we can replace ourselves without voiding a warranty again, I might send each major manufacturer one of those packages designed to spill bags of urine all over the place if you open them.

I like smartphones. I own one. I'm totally fine with them. The latest one I own has a very generous battery life which hasn't degraded significantly in 2-3 years, and charges really fast. You can configure the notifications such that nobody can bother you when you don't want them to.

It's so freaking nice that I only need a single device to do everything, like paying for stuff, listening to music, reading a map with GPS, tracking my running distance, tracking exercise progression, package deliveries, communicating with my family and close friends, reading manga on the train, reviewing and merging Github PRs on the train, reading work mail, ordering food, booking an uber, tracking flight schedules, looking up transportation routes, secure 2-factor authentication, etc.

Doing all of this would either be a super hassle or impossible without it.
