+1. I purchased one smartphone from ATT (iPhone 3GS) so far. The rest are from local Craigs list.

Seriously, I feel sorry for people so addicted to their phones...
You have a point. My kids and even my wife are totally addicted to social media and news. I have none of that on my phone. Beyond basic phone OS functions the only apps I have installed on mine are Pandora, Paypal, Uber, Waze, and Zillow. Built in GPS, particularly Waze, has proven invaluable for me as I travel often between SD and Santa Barbara and most trips are updated in route due to traffic patterns. Awesome.


I'm going to need a ton more innovation, or hardware failure, to be convinced of an upgrade.
