Mind Blowing Technology

Mine still flips open just fine.

They never left anywhere to have to come back.

Which is why I put quotes around "used to." They are very hard to find as a new phone. I'm much too tied to "smart phones" to go back about 10 iterations of phones for the ease of answering. --- Which is one thing I really liked about my flip phone and hate about each smart phone I've owned.

While it is generally accepted that Stanley Kubrick is a pioneer of cinema whose legacy will never be in doubt, more breakthroughs are still being discovered.

Wow! Totally forgot about that, but pretty cool. Now if only Apple had lost the whole court case things would be perfect.

I use ATT and they always have flip phones in stock when I've needed to replace the phone.
Virginia decided to go with an I-phone and I think she's sorry she did.
This last time the phones were still working; however soon they are not going to support 3g so I had to get the flip-phone that does 4G.
