After having a smart phone for about three or four years, I went back to having a flip phone. It took a bit getting used to not having mobile internet or e-mail, but after that, it's become amazing. I didn't know how much of my attention went to the smart phone until I no longer had it.

Right? I'm sure I was spending way too much time with my little screen. Ooops.

So now I've got a flip phone. I'd forgotten how satisfying it is to hang up calls by closing the phone. Plus hitting the keys a million times to text = just saying 'screw it' and calling people. I can see this being a good change already.

I fell back in love with my dumb phone almost immediately because I was paying too much attention to the screen before. The predictive text is a bit of an adventure sometimes, but other than that, I love it. Has it taken you any time to get used to at all or have you pretty much picked up on things right away?
