So I am eligible to get a new phone now and thinking about the iPhone 5s. Any tech-y reasons not to get it?

expensive? I dunno. It all depends on what you use it for and your tastes.

I actually don't care about new, as long as it works. I currently have a Samsung Galaxy S2, which is way old, but has suited my needs for the most part. Plus I'm cheap and I don't want to pay too much for a new phone. Also, my current service provider is not a major commercial one, which is why my selection isn't up to date.

So if the 5s is decent without any quirks or idiosyncrasies (at least no more than any other phone), then I'm sure it'll work fine for me.

why not just upgrade to a Galaxy S6? or a Note 4?

 

[donaldtoo]

Just out of curiosity, things like what?

Yea, I'm curious too.
I could still kick butt and take names at 30, and I'm not too bad at it now at 52+.

 

[donaldtoo]

Yeah, it does.

Yes, as far as she knows.

Why not stick with an android phone if thats what you have got and like it.

And, although I wanted to, the site wouldn't let me like your post...

As mentioned before, I can help you troubleshoot the problem you are having.

 

[donaldtoo]

Goin' over to mom and pops in a bit for some Labor Day BBQ.
Can't stop those folks...!

 

[donaldtoo]

Again, thank you.
And, I do definitely appreciate the previous offers. I will probably do so at some point in the future, but, it seems I am having less problems as of late.

relaxing is a magical world that is almost unexistent for us grown adults.
We thrive to try to achieve this state which is almost impossible thanks to third factor involvements.

Yes, and throw in parenthood.
And, I'm not asking for any sympathy whatsoever...we chose it willingly and full out. We wouldn't trade it for anything, though...!

 

[donaldtoo]

Probably the "need" to have a higher level.
Just like how Men love to make competition out of everything or do their best to be above the rest (rank wise, power wise, game wise..etc..)
Its a "macho man" issue imho.

Yes it is.
And the difference between genders is what has led to the survival of the species...vive la difference...!

I have to at least do gel or I'd have a bunch of random hairs sticking straight up! But I'm so glad I don't have to blow dry - I also have thick hair, but with our temperate weather year-round it's usually dry (or almost) by the time I get to work. The noise of the drier always annoyed me.

Gel is too gooey. I just use some hair spray to tame my hair in the humid weather. I hate the frizzies!!

The 2-lb. Maine lobster was mine, BTW.
So, apparently I do like some kinds of seafood.

OMG . . . all that food looks so good!!!

@MOXOMUMD , @figmentfan423 , and @StarWarsGirl95 , I went to Target yesterday, and the entry doors were all covered in full-length, stick-on, Imperial Storm Troopers !! Ha ha!! I've never been to Target before where the entry doors were not see-through!

I expect the advertising everywhere will ramp up closer to the holidays.

 

[donaldtoo]

OK, off to mom and pops. Y'all be cool.
Laterrrrrrr...!!!!!

They were pretty well written. Although I didn't care the storyline when Marlena was possessed on Days of Our Lives, that freaked me out. We didn't watch Dallas or Dynasty as a family, but my parents might've when I was in bed. I did watch Dallas when it was on replays a few years ago on the soap channel. It was pretty good too.

Never watched any daytime soap operas, but I really, really liked the (original 1978 series) Dallas!! That was a great show. As with a number of multi-year shows, the writing got a bit strange toward the end of the series, though. At that point, it was time for it to go off the air. (I think some of the scripts started going downhill when Jim Davis, who played the patriarch of the family, Jock Ewing, passed away from cancer. I thought he was a pivotal character in that series, and they really couldn't replace his role, when he passed away.)

 

[donaldtoo]

Yes, reality...what a concept.

Get ready to laugh--as the most non-tech person on this forum, I'm going to give you advice! (I still have a little flip phone with no pictures, no internet, no nothing. It has voicemail, but I don't know how to use that either.) So here goes my "expert" advice --

I think you should get the 6. Why? Because as @wdwmagic pointed out, the others are old or older now. From the puny amount of tech understanding that I have, I know that often the newer models will "fix" any previous glitches from the older models, so maybe it's best to get a 6 and save yourself some aggravation.

Here you go, buddy! I'm sending a "like" through osmosis from you to Dead (love his name . . . ) to wish him a happy belated birthday on your behalf! See--that's what friends are for!
