For the month of September, I have been using a Flip Phone. My normal phone before this has been an iPhone. Needless to say it has been a transition! But as I've let you know through out my blog posts on it, it has been an easy one for me!

Very interesting! I'm 29 so I grew up with flip phones, but haven't thought about them in so long

Except for KZfaq that I've kept due to my blog it links to, I quit all social media and it was a great decision. I hate how smartphones are getting bigger and bigger!

That's good to hear! I hope to find a balance with social media one day, but I think it is awesome that quitting it has worked for you!

I loved flip phones

My favorites were the slider phones. I loved my orange and black Samsung SGH-A737 in 2008!

I think those phones were more healthy they gave me a break from the internet , now that it's always around me sometimes it becomes overwhelming having that constant input and also effecting my sleep. I've been having to turn the phone off at night now.

@@thtpst7827 If you have self control, you can handicap your smartphone to turn it more into a dumbphone. Turn off WiFi and data. Turn off notifications. Remove all the apps the phone will let you remove. Only use it to answer/make calls and text. Try it out and see if you could go full-blown 2008. :-)

This was a great look into flip phone use and I love that you used the flip phone to check in and vlog to us; the quality is actually not as bad as you would think it would be; definitely doable. I’m switching to a Nokia 2760 flip phone from Tracfone here soon; I’m excited and that phone comes with a 5mp camera instead of just 2mp so the quality will hopefully be a little more doable

It is the commercial world who WANT YOU , to have a smart ? phone . LIFE is easier for THEM , not always for you . I love some tech , but detest "Smart" phone tech . Never downloaded an app to date ( 28.1.23 ) . I have a flip phone TT970 and love it .
