Men+cooking+timers (and measuring spoons/cups) always go together 🤗

...that's it. And, when I think of this, I often think do I really need a smartphone.
I do miss the days of my NEC P3, or my Nokia 6620, then my BlackBerry 8800. Oh, those were the days.

Alas, I digress.

I miss those BlackBerry days. I had the Bold 9000 and Bold 9700

My "Smartphone" is a device, first off, not a phone.
My "phone" and tablet do the same things but I can make calls on my phone.

Entertainment is what I use my devices for mostly, YouTube, music, surfing the net and podcasts are the biggest usage (#1). Camera (#2) then calls (#3).
