MythTickle by Justin Thompson for August 13, 2012

I know how Boody feels. After carefully reading the instruction manual (which is far larger than the phone) three times and meticulously following the instructions several times, I had to go to the phone store to get a technician to set things the way I wanted. It took him two tries and consultation with another tech. I still don’t know how to use 90% of the gee-whizz stuff the phone can do.

Hell I still have a flip phone and I haven’t figured out all of it’s gadgets and yes I read the instruction’s still have’em Hang in there Boody

My solution, Boody, is that I don’t have one of those “gadgety” phones. (In fact, no cell phone at all.)

“Wait! It makes phone calls too!? AWESOME!”That’s probably one of the least worst things he could have accidentally photographed.

I have a Stupid Phone. It makes AND receives phone calls. Don’t need all those fancy-shmancy dodads that are “free”(?) and eat up batteries like a hungry lion eating it’s daily meal.

Luddites!

Finally starting to put pictures from ComicCon on Flickr. Here’s one of Justin with the way cool poster he was giving out. http://www.flickr.com/photos/22772439@N04/7755667674/in/set-72157630768304440/

I can soooo feel for Boody. I just HAD to up grade my phone because at&t sent a text sayng my 2G phone would no longer work after 09/30, and my wife is always on me to text, soooo i got a phone with a qwery k board and all the bells n whistles. welp I should have taken into consideration that I am almost blind ( now I cant even answer a call….wish I had a $20 flip phone now.

My family just got smartphones this weekend. Very little is intuitive, and very little is in the manual. What’s worse, Sprint neglected to tell us a little of would-be deal-breaking details.

Been there, done that!

The montains of Colorado are paradise. Justin and I spent every summer there as children wile our parents raced horses in Denver. I’ve been back several times as an adult and if I ever get the chance, I will be livin there somewhere in those mountains-)

Then there is the “Jittebug,” which sells itself as a phone that’s a phone and nothing else, with buttons and numbers you can see and hit with a finger.

Do the Swiss make cell phones?

I joined a phone forum. At least we have a group of people that can answer questions.

I have a touch myself. You can use it as a phone if you have an earpiece, a VOIP service and wireless hotspot. I bought a retro handset the other day. I’m looking into VOIP services
