I would be LOST without my phone. In the last 5 years I've left it at home, accidentally, twice and could barely function on my drive to/from work. Now days I talk to my mom every day on my way home. It makes my commute so much faster and I don't almost fall asleep.
I only use my cell for talking and texting (I text full sentences too). It has a camera but I don't use it much (since I carry my real camera with me everywhere) and I don't want to pay for internet on it when I have access at work and home.
I wasn't big on texting at first either, but now I love it. Of course I'm 12 years older than you! LOL Maybe when you're my age you'll enjoy it more. I can't believe I just said that. I sound so old! I always hated it when older people said things like that to me. Sorry Missy!
