Know how you feel, I feel like I'm only the one around here without an iphone, droid, etc.

You're not alone! I have the Katana II, which is like 3 years old. I take care of my stuff, still looks like new. I just don't feel a need to have e-mail, texting etc...on my phone. Sure, it might be nice, but I don't want my monthly bill to sky rocket and I don't want to pay more for a new phone and mine works just fine.

I actually use my iphone to make calls, but it is also very handy to check email, google things, and use the gps navigation on it as well. I only pay $75/month for service and unlimited data so I don't think that is too bad...Granted I have the lowest amount of minutes available and only have the "pay per text" feature, but I don't think it is too out of line.

Your plan doesn't sound bad Amy! I pay $34.99/month though, and the thought of even going up to $69.99 (Sprint's version of the everything plan for their smart phone) makes me gringe! I'm sure one of these days I will cave?! Probably when my current phone decides to die!

I use the phone to make calls. The biggest draw to a smart phone is that you get your email on it pretty fast. Lecturers can cancel lectures by just simply sending out an email. It's best to get it when waking up or before leaving the house rather than finding out when I get to college. The iPhone 4 has an amazing camera and video camera that allows me to consider it my back-up camera in the event that I need to quickly get a picture of something.
When you go to book an airfare for someplace else, and you accidentally type in Orlando as the destination.

When you're watching the animated loop of the local weather radar and you keep seeing unintentional Mickeys in the cloud patterns.

you spend the entire 9 hour drive down to Disney listening to Disney music and reading a book about the parks.

Not that many. In total with all the stuff that it comes with I have about 100. 8 of those are specific things for WDW and some others are programs to stream music from this site. The rest are mostly games.
When the only songs you sing in the shower are Disney songs.

When you find out that it wasn't taxpayer's money that paid for re-paving of some roads in your city, it was Disney. Seriously, with all the construction vehicles in and out of backstage MK, I don't blame them. The road(s) they use still need a lot of work done.
We are all a little weird
And life's a little weird,
And when we find someone whose
Weirdness is compatible with ours,
We join up with them and fall in
Mutual weirdness and call it Love.”

I bet Goofy could do a better job paving than some of the FDOT folks!
