The smartphone saga

December 3, 2014

to I have decided to enter the 21st century and buy a smart phone. I really, really wanted the new and super cool iPhone 6, but my cheapness, er common sense, prevailed. Before this, I had a TracFone, which isn’t fun or sexy, but it is dirt cheap and does the trick. After […]
