I'll be 63 next Sunday and resisted a "smart phone" for the longest.

About 3 years ago I bought a Google Nexus 3 ordered a sim card from
straight talk (W-M) and regret not doing it sooner.  The phone is mine
and not mine and some carrier until I fulfill some stupid two year
contract.  I pay $45/mo, no contract and unlimited talk/text/data.
I'm not one of these who are driven to go buy the latest iwhatever and
I figure I should be able to get another year or two at least out of
it and see what's on the market then.
