[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 664200, member: 1963"] I have to admit to a slight bit of this over the past few days myself. Y'see, I just got a smart phone. First time for me. I also moved 275 miles from a small town in N. WI, to a suburb of Milwaukee. I've killed an appalling amount of time listening to the radio on my new "toy", pruning my contacts list and adding new contacts, downloading apps and widgets, and generally discovering what this magic little slab of technology can do. My only saving (literally when it comes to $$$) grace has been that the nice agent at the Verizon store was quick to inform me that the phone can be used connected to household wi-fi, so at least I am not racking up ridiculous data charges while fiddling on the phone. I do have to plead innocent to actually WANTING a smart phone. My old dumb phone of nearly 6 years died; I was eligible for an upgrade, and this was available, with the only cost being a boost to my monthly bill for a manatory minimum addition of a data package to my account. But, while I survived the advent of home computing, the advent of laptops, the advent of e-readers, etc., without them turning into huge time wasters...this dang phone... GN [/QUOTE]
