I remember when my dad had a phone like that, and I'd play the bowling game on it all the time.

I was so pro at it 8)

Nolafus October 15th, 2013 4:32 PM

I don't think I have ever heard of sidekicks before. For a second, I thought we were talking about friends who act like your sidekick. Either way, never had one.

My phone is probably around five years old at this point. It makes calls and can text. That's all I need.

Nathan October 15th, 2013 4:32 PM

Didn't even know what a Sidekick was tbh. I thought it was the car >_>

Kanzler October 15th, 2013 5:10 PM

Wooah like a slide-out keyboard thing? We just called them slide-out keyboard things :P Apparently they're good for gaming.

Honest October 15th, 2013 6:42 PM

Actually, it rotated instead of slid. D:

Nolafus October 15th, 2013 8:17 PM

I just can't see those things taking off. Apparently they did, but I just never knew about them. I don't have a smart phone, I have a dumb phone. :P

I've finally succumbed to the hype and ordered Y, which will arrive to my house on Friday. Now watch my grade plummet like falling off of Grand Canyon...

I was never fond of those phones. Those were pretty popular when I was a freshman in high school. But they died quickly when the iPhone was announced.

Kanzler October 15th, 2013 9:38 PM

Is that a keyboard-sliding thing?

Meganium October 15th, 2013 9:47 PM

Yes bis. That phone has a keyboard sliding thingy. lol

And then there was also the DROID. This baby had two keyboards.

Kanzler October 15th, 2013 9:49 PM

In case you're a Machamp, I see :P

Nolafus October 16th, 2013 12:06 AM

That phone was good for two things, calling and texting. Considering I don't get cell phone reception at my house, I never really saw the addiction value to phones. I've had my phone for five years and it still works fine. There are some glitches, but it works nonetheless. I always saw phone addictions as kind of pathetic really. Some people would die at my house. Limited internet and no cell phone reception. Oh the humanity! :P

Edit: I think my average text messages for both sending and receiving a month is around two. There are entire months where I go without texting and those two texts are probably received. Heck, I left my phone off for two whole months because I didn't feel like turning it on.

Treecko October 16th, 2013 12:20 AM

Yeah slider phones were all the rage when I was like 15/16/17 almost everyone at school and so did a ton of people at my youth group. I never got one but really wanted one cause I thought they were a lot cooler than a flip phone and smartphones were just becoming a thing back thing and there were barely any of them. I still don't have a phone tbh. Really looking to get one soon though.

Still talking about phones I see? Well since they are the topic I will just say how much I despise my current one. Right now I am using an iPhone 4s and it was a great phone for a while, but the last 5 or so months it has been just awful. It freezes, crashes, I can only run a few select apps before it shuts off and I can't turn it back on. I am so ready for my upgrade so I can get a new one because I am so tired of using this piece of junk.

Strange. Maybe you have overloaded it with apps and files? My iPhone 4 has worked great for 2 years (even with a broken screen!) and I'm not planning to change up for a while yet.

Sirfetch’d October 16th, 2013 4:14 AM

Mine has barely any space taken up by apps and files so I am not sure exactly what the issue is. It's ok though as I can get a new phone soon, just deciding what is the hard part, haha.

Apotheosis October 16th, 2013 4:31 AM

Want to step away from iPhones completely, then? :] I actually think I'll try an android for my next one. Whenever that will be. Even though the simplicity of iPhone has worked great for me for quite a while now.

I haven't upgraded to the new OS though. Seems so... saccharine sorta?

Magic Christmas Lights October 16th, 2013 4:36 AM

Loving the phone chat.

I have a Galaxy 3III which I adore, aside from the horrid battery life. That thing is like specially configured to use as much battery power as possible.

Honest October 16th, 2013 4:38 AM

How long is the battery life? D: I heard it was decent, guess I heard wrong.

I'm not really sure, couldn't give you an accurate hour estimate. I usually charge my phone overnight, and then by the time evening rolls around the next day it's dead. If I use it for a lot of stuff, it dies before I finish classes. I mean, it makes sense - it works well considering how much it does. I still need to do the battery optimizing stuff like shortening how long it stays idle before shutting off etc.

Tsutarja October 16th, 2013 5:51 AM

Oh my gosh all this tech chat =D

I swore I was in the T&I DCC when I saw the words galaxy and samsung in the same post...

Kanzler October 16th, 2013 7:26 AM

I think you can get the juicedefender app, your phone will have juice for at least two days :P

Tsutarja October 16th, 2013 7:50 AM

I've never heard of juicedefender, though by its name, I can tell it's implying you can save battery power..

Nolafus October 16th, 2013 8:14 AM

I thought it was some kind of tower defense game where you kept your juice safe from varying ants and bugs. :(
