Can't remember how the camera works and the battery is usually flat but I remember it now and then, never use it.

I can't understand when you see a couple in a pub or restaurant, both on their mobiles, not talking to each other. Are they both wishing they were with someone else? Are they texting each other, thoughts so private? Are their lives so busy they haven't even a few spare minutes to spend together?
Gordon, I had a phone with a camera, but the pictures were (to put it politely) rubbish......so I decided that my next phone would not have a camera(I always have a good little camera in my bag anyway).
I am working on my next phone being one that won't phone anyone.....seeing as I hardly ever use the darned thing....I figure I could do without one altogether.

I do not 'get' the concept of folk being wedded to their phone...having to be connected to the media, Facebook, Twitter or some other equally banal social media all the time.
Like the world would come to a grinding halt if they couldn't see what was happening on the Internet.
Sad, very very sad to see couples more interested in their phone than one another!
