Ya know, it's funny... As a techno geek, IT Manager/Systems Engineer making a
pretty good salary in the SF Bay area, one would think that I would want and
have the latest and greatest of smart phones.

Nothing could be further to me.

I would love to be back on my Motorola Star Tak, or my Blackberry Pearl 8150.

The other week, I bricked my Samsung S7 Edge and rolled back to my Galaxy S5.
Such a nicer phone!  So much better feel in the hand/pocket, has double the
battery life and reminds me of the smart phone I used to actually like.

Still on kitkat 4.4.4 and a little slower than the S7 Edge and the camera
isn't as nice but I'm actually happy about it again!
