I had a flip phone for a short while about 15 years ago but stopped using it as I didn't like being so available.
I held out as long as I could but finally gave in just 6-mos ago but only because it's becoming so necessary to function 'normally' in today's world.
One reason was Airport pickups, no need to pay-park and just coordinate pickup location by text/calls...same w/ meeting friends/family @ concerts/sporting events/out on the town etc.
Possible car troubles was another reason being nobody besides bandits are going to stop if you're @ the side of the Hiway also who picks up kooks thumbing rides anymore, especially @ night!
So, I got a used I-phone on Kijiji and do a $15/mo. pay as you go deal from Ted Rogers, it does all I want and more plus the camera thing is pretty handy!
What I don't like is the size and slipperiness so I've been thinking of livening up the old flip job again which fits so nicely in a pocket also still offers all I need.
