ome of the other message boards use that Tapatalk. But I don't like it. Get to work, Geoffy  . The devs of this software were supposed to incorporate Tapatalk a while ago, but updates have been almost non-existent. Sadly, I wish I had decided on a different software solution those many years ago...  PS - But I've never used Tapatalk myself, so have no opinion on it...

Is anyone planning on falling into this trap?
Personally, I try not to fall into the vicious cycle of upgrading every single year. But the changes from the 5 to the 6 seem to be significant, and the idea of that plus size screen and almost paper thin body are very appealing, so I'm giving it some thought.
I know Geoffy is a big Apple guy. What do you think, buddy? I used to hate the idea of a contract. Now, 4 cell phones later, bought and paid for, and completely obsolete, I now see the value in being about to trade in and trade up. I'm not into "Phablets", they're too big. My phone of choice is iPhone 5S. The right size, the right look, the right power. Get the one you want. But if you buy it outright, then you have to unload some outdated swag.

I hate my iphone 6 plus. Too big with the Otter case. Its like putting a book to your ear when using the phone. What's hysterical is, for twenty years they poured billions of dollars into developing cell phones that got smaller and smaller, and now they're making them bigger and bigger. The new Nexus is six inches. Tablets start at seven. It's ridiculous. My thinking is, I'm almost better off keeping my tablet with me at all times and going back to a small clamshell phone. I know I'm old and cranky, but I doubt I'm alone in feeling this way.

They should just sell a lil mini sized flip phone to hang up on the side or top of a tablet to use for strictly talking nothing else. When not in use it stays hooked onto the tablet charging.

it was bout that late 98 or 99, yep reception was shite on them phones, worst i had was a motorola , size of a brick used to get hot as f""" after bout 20 mins of talking  How long was the battery life? 2 hrs ha ha. If you forgot your charger you were f'd. I remember having it plugged into my car charger to talk hardly ever remember not having it connected. My friend had a cell phone back in 1990 now that thing was HUGE lol. My home cordless phone was smaller than that one. To correct myself above: I think it was AirTouch vs. LA Cellular something like that.

Yes those Motorolas in the '90's were huge. You could even get the extended battery which made it even bigger. Everyone carried it in their back pocket. it was definitely the size of a brick with an antenna sticking out of it. The nextels were the best and my favorite. I don't know what happened to that technology. it always worked. Over here in OC & LA I don't think anyone put it in their back pocket they held it to show that they had a phone and you didn't. My friend had to keep an extra battery with her at all times. We were 19 driving all around OC, Hollyweird, and LA so it was good we had a phone. What ever did happen to Nextel?

That's the phone, Mark!  But I made my first trip to Florida as a little kid in the '60s, pre-Disney. My grandparents had a place in Palm Beach County at the time. But if you were a kid back then (and again, this is before the arrival of Mickey, Goofy and Snow White), all you wanted to see in Florida was Cape Kennedy and Sea World, which were both up north. My Dad would rent a car, and we'd make the drive up every time. We'd stay in one of those funky old motels on A1A, pick up a rubber alligator and one of those little plastic orange juice squeeze things (that never really worked), and it seemed great. Today a kid would be bored to tears, but we liked it fine  .

it was a message to your pals; "Fuck you. I went to Florida and you didn't!" And prior to the tanning booth generation (and the kids on "Jersey Shore" can't even be blamed because they weren't even born yet when those things came out in the '80s), so was the suntan. The February tan was the ultimate status symbol back then. Just think of Cliff Clavin going on and on about his Florida tan on "Cheers," and multiply the obnoxiousness by a hundred. Oh, yeah! The winter tan thing. My buddy I grew up with was a pollack and his folks were loaded. Every year over the Christmas Holidays they would go out to either California, Florida or Las Vegas for a couple weeks and come back "tanned". He would be all Cliff Clavin about it until one of the girls in CCD class asked him if I went along with him. He was not very happy. My grandfather was from Palermo and he passed a long that year round "dark Dago" thing.  My pollack pal strutted through the halls of St. Dominick's a bit more humbled! Edit: Apologies for the off topic posts, guys. It's all pizzaboy's fault! He gets me wound up and we go off the charts.

You both have me laughing. What does the Orange drink look like I can't picture what you guys are talking about? Tanned. It's so true. It was the OPPOSITE for me. I used to go back east in January nice n tan, come back at least one shade lighter  no joke
