Wow....
Got flooded with a bunch of memories and tears as I stumbled upon my 3rd flip phone find of the week in my packing mode......this is the phone I had in '08 when I was very much w/ykw....Idk why I didn't get like this when I came across my gray flip phone from '09-'11 ( shown in pic w/my purple phone, going to try to keep these 2).....I wish I could say it doesn't hurt as I contemplate tossing it or trying to see if I can recycle it ( send it for soldiers to use or for DV ppl)...but I know it is better to not have it..
One thing I really don't like about my Moto One is that they got rid of locking your phone w/a code..I don't like the fingerprint one bc all ppl need to do is wait til ya fall asleep..
EDIT: WOOHOO! Moto One does have a PIN code to lock your phone! Set it up n good to go now!
Found out about EcoATM at Walmart. They give you cash for old phones and tablets. Might go see them n swing by Lowe's to get the Large Moving box on Monday...hmm, might just ask Walmart dudes if the Kyocera Extreme will work in the future, like will the networks out there SUPPORT it if NOT 4G/5G & I might just buy it straight out n wait til no longer need apps n shit...
yeah, love that on my Moto One, I am constantly having to exit out of the Internet as I zip up my phone in my bag/put it in my pocket, how I try to open a new message but bc my fingertip wasn't pinpoint, it asks if I want to call the messager... or how time consuming it is trying to text & having wrong letters pop in bc my finger was half a centimeter off ( sucks on Twitter, not correcting myself cuz I didn't proofread every word) or my spaces don't happen bc I am texting 'w/less force' & spelling errors sometimes the right word doesn't ONLY come up, but 2 or 3 other similar spellings, wth?...yeah, MUCH BETTER 🙄...
Day 1: got rid of the gaming apps & the notifications screen popping up on my Lock Screen....took me a while to figure out how to stop videos from automatically playing as I scroll past each vid ( why is every FB post a damn vid now, is America too busy to read an article for the duration of the 2-3 min vid?), although I still dk how to stop new posts from showing up as notifications, isn't that why we have a damn feed? I also don't want a notification every time someone comments on a post I commented on UNLESS they are replying to me, I don't give a shit bout anything else)...
I like that the flip phones DON'T do ANY of those things I hope!..I think my Kyocera Extreme might even do that sending texts vocally stuff so I might not even need the hassle of doing the buttons ( reviews actually say texting is easier/better:)...I read a tech article that said MOST of the population in Japan STILL uses flip phones ( why they are still made for US too I think)...weird to think how some cities there have digital billboards and new high tech sushi menus in restaurants and bam, you bust out a flip! I just hope my Kyocera can do Google Maps at least cuz that is something I use A LOT....they do updates tho...
Edit: Monday the 14th, 8:30 AM: doing just the Lowe's stop tomorrow ( taking bus, box is fine to transport) & holding off the iPad/phone stuff til Thurs/Fri as my Mom's COPD 'flare up' was actually puenomia & I want her to be on the meds for more than just 3 days ( + she worked for 2 days just 2 days after getting her diagnosis/on meds for it)....
My sister didn't tell me about Hilo renters having income requirements! Yeah, the place is $850 but we want ya to be bringing home $2200/month! I will just have to hope for a place on Kilauea, Kinoole & maybe rare Waianuenue in my budget n willing to work w/ my Savings as rent payments..
