i actually don't even have a cell phone at all anymore. At first I was going to just get rid of my smartphone (i never really used many of the "smart" features of it), but then I ended up never getting another cell phone to replace the smart one. This was about 6 months ago.
the only thing that I don;t like about not having a phone is my gf is not able to contact me when I am out of the office or not at home. Besides that, being phoneless is 100% ownage.

I am so very close to doing this. I had a chocolate back in 05 then had a prepaid piece of trash from net 10 for 3yrs. 2 yrs ago I bought myself an iphone 4s for a x-mas present for myself
back then I could justify 100$ a month of usage - now, its an alarm clock. _________________ I am also a contradiction of my own lies

my smart phone is now an alarm clock as well. I still take the dumbsmartphone with me everyday also because 1) when I am in a WiFi hotspot its just a handheld computer, who needs service and 2) I can play scrabble and chess against the phone on the train ride home.

wow, thats wild. i had a lot of fights with my ex when i didn't have a cellphone (back 10+ years ago) cuz when we were meeting somewhere or osmething if there was ever a mixup i'd get pwned for not having a cell phone. also no cell phone = no text msgs and everyone prefers to communicate by txt msg these days. although not having a cell phone is a pretty good way to resist that, rofl _________________ i zero bagged your mother

I've never used a smart phone, but for business/work purposes I can see some of the features being of great benefit as opposed to packing a laptop or whatever around with you.

to be honest, GChat is enough of text messaging for me. People can text my google voice# from their phone, I can respond from my computer. So during those times when I am out and about, sure I can't receive or respond to text messages in a timely fashion. But that is fine. I spend like 80% of my day in very close proximity to a computer, so I am accessible. And those other 20% when I am going skiing or watching a basketball game or whatever...well im out of contact and I think thats ok.

im saving $30 a month for my internet if im able to set up a wi-fi hotspot with my phone
my phone plan is unlimited everything (text talk data) for $40 a month... which is a pretty good deal here in the U.S... i was paying $50 a month with a shittier phone (blackberry style) but had limited data. _________________

Anyone else surprised that a bunch of guys on a forum dedicated to a game from 1995 don't have the most up-to-date technological devices? _________________ i zero bagged your mother

Using your phone for internet is nice but you will figure out soon enough that your w2 playing days are over. On the bright side, you'll now have more time for an even older game than w2...chess.

other than hopping on war2 when im taking the kids to somewhere with a good wif-hot spot (mcdonalds or the near by mall) i probably wont be on too much.. i've only logged on like 3-5 times in the last couple weeks even with internet on my laptop
i need to spend more time with the family these days.. with an occasional game of chess/war2 when i get a chance rather than the other way around =/ _________________
