Happy 4th of July and RIP Dumb Phone

Happy 4th of July! It is loud out here. Between being a Friday and a nice weather day the noise has been pretty constant.


My new job has created some urgency around my cell phone situation. We tend to be a mix of telecommuters and odd working hours that has made it necessary for me to more available using all different types of media (especially text).

I have had this phone for about 6 years. It even fell off a moving car once and had the battery run over and I was still able to use it once I replaced the battery.


That is Chloe on the case screen.


And Odin as my wallpaper.


Today my soon-to-be-21-year-old sister escorted me on the cell phone buying process. She was like having a personal shopper. I may have continued to put off this agonizing purchase without her support. It is a Motorola Droid Maxx + the toughest case I could find in the store (OtterBox Defender).


Time to stop playing with this phone and go back to studying. Have a good 4th!

  1. You could save the pictures on the old phone, right?

    1. They are still on the old phone but no way to get them off. So I took a photo of them. :)

  2. Since I have't been working I down graded my phone to a less smart one. I hope your new phone has a good camera too.

    1. Considering I kept my other phone 6 years this one maybe quite a bit less smart a couple of years down the road. I think the camera is OK? I have only messed with it a bit.

  3. Did your sister show you how to use everything on your new phone too? I know whenever we get new phones, my husband has to show me how to use it. I'm not so smart. :)
