I'm surprised my picture wasn't in there. It's all I have ever used. No monthly fee, just 10 cents per minute. Whats wrong with that. No one calls me anyway.

still remember my bag phone......
I did have a Motorola razor at one point. I liked it.
Maybe bag phones will come back in style..

Just like clothes, if you keep it long enough, it'll come back in style. It's just that clothing styles usually take 20-30 years to recycle (hello again, leg warmers from the 80s :sour:

) Apparently, just a few years is enough to make phone technology popular again. Hey, when they get to rotary phones again, I am going to be SO COOL!

I kept my Motorola...it was some Razr variety. Same shape but smaller. I've only had a smart phone since March of last year. I kept the flip phone as a back-up phone in case I ever broke or lost the current phone. So I could play cool. Except I don't give a rat's ass.
