It all makes no difference if you can’t make a call or it drops in the middle of the sentence. Which happens a lot, but it’s not the phone’s but rather the network issue anyway…

So very hard explaining that I want three features and three features only:

Calling (very important)
Bluetooth (its hard to troubleshoot computers while holding a phone in one hand)
Texting (boss insisted)

Keeping all the features I’ll never use out means that my phone lasts an average of 4 days on one charge.

It’s also useful to have a phone with known hacks that let you get out of using the carrier’s Internet service and using something else. I make sure to have the unlimited texting plan – my 2 teenage daughters send more texts a day than I do in a month.
