I can understand about your phone, it may have been no longer the latest thing but at least it worked, you liked it, if why throw away a fully functioning piece of stuff to keep up with 'THEM!'?

Well, it has always been a lot more than simply practicality on my part. The fact was I had more modern phones at my disposal had I wanted to use them, but I chose the oldest most archaic phone I could get my hands on, mostly as a perceived need to remain counter-cultural to 'THEM!' .

I was once given a free 1st generation iPod Touch shortly after they first came out, and I immediately turned around and unceremoniously gave it away for much the same reason I used to carry around an archaic phone. About two years later when I almost had an aneurysm thanks to my Zune, its ridiculous lack of Mac compatibility, and all the hassle I had to go through on emulating Windows just so I could put a song on the thing, I had wished I kept that iPod Touch. But that feeling was fleeting, within twenty minutes I had purchased a decent used old 4th gen iPod off of amazon, had Windows and my Windows emulator deleted off of my computer, and had banished my poor and previously much loved Zune to the deep dark recesses of one of my lesser opened desk drawers (where it still remains to this very day).

I am still waiting for the day Microsoft stops being e-holes and finally makes the Zune Mac compatible, on that day I may very well run out and buy myself a brand new Zune, as I was a really big fan (though I do still have a bad taste in my mouth from Microsoft essentially saying, "Use our OS, or don't use our product").
