mine is at the bottom of the Atlantic right along with my old BB's.
I am perfectly happy with my Tundra rugged flip phone. It's twice the "phone" that any smart phone ever was.
Great reception, battery, and speaker. AND I can kick the crap out of her and she keeps on ticking. What else is needed??

My only gripe is that it costs an awful lot for something that only lasts 2-4 years under normal 24/7 use, and the cover to make it waterproof for unexpected swims also was inordinately expensive.

Battery life, of the last two smart phones. It's a computer in your palm, what you expect.

People are obsessed with them and spend far to much time looking at their phone than the world around them or people who are trying to talk to them. That's my only complaint. Yep. And the younger they are, the worse it is. Some are outright rude. Texting is addictive.

It's a computer in your palm, what you expect. pretty much, its not a phone, its a full blown computer for use on cellular networks. i dont pack my laptop around near as much as i used to just got a Droid Turbo 2 and so far its battery life seems much better than anything i have used before....

The more I learn about my iphone 6, the more I really enjoy it. I watch very little TV but found out that I can watch TV on it anytime I have phone service. And that's just about everywhere. I like going to pretty remote areas with my camper and have even watched some football on it. Reception is great.
Yeah, I enjoy mine!

You have no idea how liberating it is not to have a hand held device. If I get a call, it's on the good old home landline. Ive not yet had a cell phone, and Im 62, with no intent of ever doing so. I look around, and they proliferate everything, amazing when you take notice of peoples self induced dependence on an electronic device....funny culture we are that's for sure?

I just got my first smart phone, an I Phone Six, about an hour ago.
I only got it because my new Hearing Aids are designed for that model.
I have a laptop and hot spot so don't intend to use it for anything other than a phone.
If I could have used my old flip phone, I'd a stayed with it. got damn Jean get with the times, i wouldn't be without my i ph 6

got damn Jean get with the times, i wouldn't be without my i ph 6 Roger, I am with Gene on this. My phone stays in my truck and I use the land line at home, by necessity. I do not text, and I have a camera if I want to take a picture. I am currently looking for a new phone that is bluetooth compatible, for my truck, but do not want all the bells and whistles. Just a phone, with big numbers and letters. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

Best thing about them when hunting (if you have a cell signal) is the map and gps function. Can pinpoint where you are at and pull up the aerial pic in google maps.
Gotta think these things have really cut into the handheld gps sales, and I know it has killed camera sales. Don't need a cell signal for the gps to work. Hunted Wyoming a month ago with iPhone 5 using onXHunt app showing all public and private grounds. No signal. It worked. You have to store the maps ahead of time, but the gps worked perfectly. Best $29 I've spent in a while.

You do know the Govt or employer can listen in on it without you ever knowing. And they can turn it on without you knowing it. And they can pinpoint where you are with ease. I have one for work, it never comes into my house.

The biggest problem I have is that you can't see the screen when you're standing out in the sun light. It drives me crazy because I'm outside a lot while working.
The best thing is when I'm hunting and I know there's rain or a thunderstorm is on the way, I can pull up the radar and see it. That's excellent.
