I'm in with the hip crowd now. I'm a smartphone user :roflmao: ... truth be told it's only really for business use so clients can reach me out of the office via whatever messenger they use.

These things have updated a fair bit since my last smart phone in 2012. EE offered me a free phone and a contract so I thought heck why not. Strange how I can get a contract phone under my business name but not under my real name :wacko: Probably a loophole there lol

Hey, welcome to the 21st century lol! I would truly be lost without mine. I don’t actually remember not having a smartphone. I just need the convenience of accessing everything I want to access, at my fingertips. I switched to iPhone about 3 years ago now, but up until then I was a Google phone user.

It is kind of a double edged sword in my opinion. Yes, you can always access any info that you need to access...but you’re also reachable at all hours of the day/night by anyone that has your contact info. It does make it hard for me to “step away” from work at times.

I'm just setting up a couple of applications now. Google docs is very helpful for allowing me to read and edit them from the phone! And the Quickbooks application is so much easier than the website. I'm scrolling through the app store having to resist myself from installing games. I got this itch for 8 ball pool :roflmao: I'm warming up to the idea of having the phone improve parts of my life. I do get worried I'll be reliant on it though.

I'd like to throw my phone away but my wife keeps saying "what if there's an emergency " so I'm stuck with it.:mad:

You guys need to get Some Macc Lads up ya!

If you like Kevin Bloody Wilson, you'll love them!

Sweaty Betty anyone?

I won't put the YouTube vid on because The Macc Lads are very sweary, rude, and possibly certifiable. Also, I don't fancy the forum ban, but here's the first (and most tamest) line in the lyrics..

She wore big knickers and she worked on the sewage farm..

WARNING. DO NOT GOOGLE THE MACC'S SONGS IF YOU ARE EASILY OFFENDED!!

I nearly threw this phone up the wall this morning.

It knows far too much. I put in my own home phone number to call my gf while I was at the dentist, and it came up with my business name and address! Even though I'm listed on Google as a business, my address isn't listed. You can do this, it's a box you tick in Google My Business.

I wasn't too pleased about that.

No, not now you've shoved a ribbed leopard skin French tickler over it. https://yoursmiles.org/tsmile/sex/t1504.gif

Make sure you shove a fannydom over the wireless charging thingy though :winks:

Are fannydoms still a thing? Every woman who has brought up the conversation says they're horrible.

Google has invented a problem, and this is one of the reasons I hate smart phones.

While I was SMS'ing today it said "Share location". So I asked my partner if her phone has this. She said yes.

If 2 partners have that option on their phone it means the paranoid partner/s can now request location at will, and if it's not shared I hate to image the war from that :roflmao:

Not sure if I'm within my period to send it back.

I'm not sure, I've never come across one (pun maybe intended :whistles:). Up ere, with age, a bag for life probably suffices now :sofa: I'm remembering the women in the office once discussing their 'bucket fannies' :ohmy: working in an office full of women can be quite an eye opener :roflmao:

(is it just me or does 'bag for life' sound like the description of a marriage?).

I wonder what our American friends are thinking? Fanny being an arse they must be thinking we all love it that way :blush::roflmao:

And whatever happened to dental dams? Never seen or heard of their use.

Surely internet buzzwords should have developed by now e.g. 'double bagging' when using condom & fannydom?

Also...fannydom just sounds like somewhere Trump could claim to be a ruler? :yesyes:

The phone is gone. Thank goodness for that!

I hated that people automatically expected me to reply instantly. Google and other apps were slurping up so much data that I found some of the phones features very freaky.

I'm back with my 8310.
