Rethinking Phones, Part II: Cell Phones

[livingdeb]

I am not currently a normal cell phone user.

Cell phones are not REVOs.I'm still sore about cell phones not being as good as my old REVO. That's a hand-held device from the Palm Pilot days which I originally got because it had a small keyboard. Reviews said it was too tiny to use like a typewriter, but I have tiny fingers, so I tried it

I have an iPhone with Dropbox installed (which also works fine on an Android phone) and I too can edit spreadsheets (Excel ones) without a problem. I can also cut and paste (on either type of phone) though it is not as simple as on a computer. It's also easy to keep any kind of notes you want in either an Android phone or an iPhone (and surely the same is true of a Windows phone).

You might enjoy something like a case with a built-in keyboard; here is an example of such a case for the Galaxy S5, but I'm sure they exist for many phones: http://www.amazon.com/TOP%C2%AE-Bluetooth-connecting-Detachable-Removeable/dp/B00JLK794A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1424039939&sr=8-1&keywords=galaxy+s5+keyboard+case

I love having GPS, full access to the files I keep on Dropbox, all of my pictures and music, etc., plus services like Pandora, Facebook, Goodreads, access to the web, and so on, everywhere I go. You can pry my $45/month data-and-talk plan from my cold dead hands.

More good ideas! I would never even have guessed that some sort of keyboard case existed.

I'm home a lot and currently don't mind most of my stuff being available only from home. But things change.
