Having trouble convincing myself I need a $700 phone.

I haven't bought a phone in years, I use hand me downs.

All you have to do is repeatedly butt or crotch dial a friend who gets a new phone every year until they give you their previous so you'll stop doing that ;)
 
Ok, but can it at least have a slide out keyboard like this one? I don't do flip phones.

The one I've been using had a full slide out qwerty. I guess they're still available for a lot less money and data.

I hate talking on the phone.
 
$700 for a phone? That's nothing. You'll be paying $1000 a year just to use it.

I don't know if I can handle the pressure of keeping it "alive".
 
I have one My son works for Verizon haha Nobody in our family pays for a phone He has ways to geter done
 
My communicator just says LG on it. Cost 100$/year. When Wind was just starting out. Will never change that plan!

It beeps like Jim's did. And the computer voice tells me when I have an 'incoming transmission'.

Battery last about seven standard days.

Figure out what you need your phone to do, and if it's justified spend whatever the hell you want.
You'll either be happy or not.
Nothing anyone says here will make much diff if you spend $700 on a phone that you end up hating.
 
I don't even own a smartphone.

I've got a flip phone with basic texting features.

It's not even connected to the internet.
 
I don't own a cell phone. Here in the park we have a swell pay phone by the garbage dumpster.
 
they outa have more pay phones

was a swell place to get quarters for coffee from
 
Mine's possessed. Works sometimes.
Have you tried doing a factory reset on it to clear out all the garbage that's accumulated over the years?
Don't forget to back up anything you want to a microSD or your computer first.

Part of the problem is that apps and the OS keep getting updated with more bloatware that runs fine on newer more powerful phones, but not so well on older phones.
 
Ebay

Go on ebay.

Look at a Galaxy s4

You can probably get one for 200 bucks. Or Less . Awesome phone. Look at a gakaxy Apha. Same as a Galaxy S5 with the size of an I phone 6. Both have got
Very good cameras.
