How do you use your cell phone? Do you actually use your cell phone to make/receive calls? I have 4 adult kids (19, 21, 24, 26) and they all tell me they use their phones almost exclusively to text and rarely make calls. Personally, I have no use for texting and think it's the most archaic form of communication available today except for snail mail. | My System Specs |

Don't use my phone much as when i work out in the desert, there are no cell phone towers.
When i am in range, it's 90% text, 10% calls. Using prepaid, which makes calls expensive. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Home build OS Win7 Ultimate x64 CPU 3820 Motherboard Rampage IV formula Memory 12 GB kit Graphics Card XFX nVidia GeForce GTX 560 Sound Card On board card Monitor(s) Displays LG 27" x 2 Screen Resolution 1920 x 1080 Keyboard Logitech Wave Pro Mouse Logitech PSU 875W Thermal Take Case Antec P160W Cooling Noctua Hard Drives 1 x OCZ Vertex 4 , 256Gb Internet Speed 1.5 Mb Other Info Logitech G25 steering wheel, Logitech Extreme 3D Pro joystick.

I have had a cell phone for about six years. I resisted until my lady said she would pay the bill if I carried the phone. == I only use it for talking. A few times I have taken a picture just fooling around. Pictures are the reason I bought a digital camera, why use a phone. As you might guess, I am on the downhill side of life. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom Build OS Windows 7 Home Premium 32-Bit - Build 7600 SP1 CPU Intel Core i3-2120 3.30Ghz Motherboard Asus P8Z68-V LX Intel Z68 Socket H2 ATX Memory Kingston 4 GB DDR3 1333 mhz Graphics Card Zotac GeForce 9400 GT 512MB Sound Card Sound Blaster Audigy SE 24-Bit Monitor(s) Displays Samsung Sync Master 940 = 19 inch Screen Resolution 1440 X 900 Keyboard Microsoft Natural 4000 Mouse Microsoft Custom Optical 3000 PSU 500 watt Case NZXT Apollo - Silver with Clear Side Panel Cooling Three 120 mm Fans Hard Drives OCZ Vertex 3 120 GB Sata 3 SSD ==
