Maybe I'm the only one that is getting tired of smart phones? I feel like it just takes over every ones life sometimes. I'm ready to go back to a $30 nokia that just f'n works for half a decade, doesn't die every day due to battery usage, and in general... doesn't spy on my entire life story for the supposed purpose of better targeted ads.

I think there's some serious room back in the mobile market with the way these devices are going. Outrageously expensive disposables aren't sustainable forever. At some point people get tired of throwing $500 in the bin for the exact same thing they had last year, just so they can have a full day worth of battery charge again.

for starters - don't throw away the phone - throw away the crapps - FB, WA, IG, Twitter, SC, ...
