“I stopped upgrading because there was no value in doing so. Nothing new, in any of the new phones from anyone, including Apple and Android, that would add to my so called “experience”.”
As I mentioned in my post, I just wanted to add MP3 and movies to my phone, I didn’t expect anything more. But.....
Google sky map. Hold up the phone and look at the sky. The stars are there with their names. Point the phone down, and see the southern hemisphere sky with the stars named. Doesn’t sound like much but a big cool factor and I and my kids have learned a bit of astronomy.
Carr Matey. Get out of the car and drop anchor. Hours later in a city completely strange to me, a map and directions back to my car.
Any music, any band, I want to hear is just a click away.
Voice mail transcribed and sent to my email.
Point the phones camera at a UPC and get the prices at multiple stores.
In addition to google maps showing me exactly where I am, a real browser and all of the other functions of a modern smart phone, I didn’t know what I was missing.
