I didn't even think of that (probably because I don't listen to them)-what a good way to use your smartphone. I like how you are able to see some great positives on using that type of phone!

I think my favorite things are being able to take surprisingly high-quality photos with my phone, being able to pull it out while shopping at a brick-and-mortar store in order to compare prices with online retailers, and being able to read ebooks/listen to audiobooks on Shannon @ Of The Hearthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13211053395897432251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758330335100037759.post-77395550543283357272019-02-25T13:20:00.181-06:002019-02-25T13:20:00.181-06:00I love this SO much.

My husband and I have both talked about getting basic phones, but he needs his phone and mobile email access for work (he basically has to be reachable all the time and often works remotely), and since I don't have any family nearby, I'm frequently taking and sending pictures with my phone. I also use Google Maps a lot.

That sounds so incredibly convenient and awesome, and definitely seems like a plus for owning a smartphone. It is so wild to hear that dumbphones are a more expensive option for you!

I am SO thankful I didn't have a cell phone until college, and a smart phone until a couple years into college. I am trying to figure out how to detach more, but things like gps are big for me. It is beautiful you live without one though, and I'd encourage anyone to do that as long as possible!

I enjoy blogging and messaging friends and photo editing and the creativity that the internet allows me, but I do it all from my computer, at times when I purposefully sit down to work on my computer. I have a smartphone--I wasn't given a choice, somebody bought it for me because it annoyed them too much that they needed to call or email me as Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07894832851934334471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758330335100037759.post-14145684001036270912019-02-20T14:15:41.101-06:002019-02-20T14:15:41.101-06:00Great thoughts!

The third downside that I'd struggle with is the photo app options...I love that my smartphone automatically uploads my photos to the place where I get them printed (Shutterfly)...I otherwise dread printing out pictures/uploading/etc. It also costs more around here to have a dumbphone which is crazy!!<br /><br />I think I've realized I'll probably always have my Laura @ Life Is Beautifulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11217783333084830679noreply@blogger.com
