> [@yrface](#): > > > [@tasse-tee](#): > > > > That’s one reason why I hate it! > > I wonder if it’s also because “you kids these days” prefer texting over talking? That’s not a bad theory, actually. Texting is so much easier and quicker now - I remember my very first mobile phone only had 9 buttons for all the letters, so to type a “c” you had to press “1” three times and wait a few seconds before it would insert the letter. With texting / messaging you can think through your responses, and you don’t even have to read a message properly as soon as you receive it. On the other hand, when you get a phone call from a random person, you immediately have to work out exactly what they want from you _and_ give them a satisfactory response, or else be judged by the invisible person on the other end 🙈 ---

And speaking of (mobile) phones: 🚪 Display phones in shops that have bulky security devices attached to the back of them, right in the centre, so you can’t easily test how the phone feels in your hand. My experiences today. At least the Samsung shop realises it’s a bad idea though, and their security devices are only attached to the bottom edge of the phones. ---

> [@tasse-tee](#): > > 🚪 Display phones in shops that have bulky security devices attached to the back of them, right in the centre, so you can’t easily test how the phone feels in your hand. I also really struggle to find shops that have a working version of the phone I want to look at. Last time after trying about five shops, I asked in one last place and the assistant said, just a sec, and I thought, oh good. Then they came back with a plastic dummy version 🙄 ---

🚪 Phones that get bigger and bigger. I’m waiting for the day when a handle has to be attached to the back in order to … well … handle them. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thimbleweedpark/original/2X/0/01eea4a7a94f4d682c8ad647355da78ccd2a3529.jpeg) Still not quite sure how to replace my aging Blackberry Z10. The two candidates left would be the iPhone SE, or a couple compact models from Sony, and neither of these companies have me thrilled to throw money at them. ---

> [@Gffp](#): > > I couldn’t tell what’s the difference in practical terms. The cell phone provides a better reception, maybe? The battery lasts longer and the phone’s cheaper. But yeah apart from that, not much difference. I guess they just wanted a ‘lite’ version (they sell them side by side here rather than the 2G being an ‘old’ model). > [@Gffp](#): > > I also _love_ the flip mobile phones: so handy!

Those old networks will be shutdown eventually. If you want to use a phone for as long as possible it should support as many standards as possible. 2G/3G/LTE/4G etc. You don’t necessarily need the speed but you want the coverage.
