....who doesn't have internet access on her cell phone? i think i have the last of the prehistoric phones - no keyboard, no apps. just numbers and your good old fashioned t9 texting. i'm afraid if i upgrade, it will feed into my addiction of fb & mfp and i would get absolutely nothing done! i'm weak when it comes to social networking. my husband's about to forge and intervention...

    I have a pretty ancient phone also. I thought I did not need all that because I am a stay at home Mommy but now I think I may have to upgrade because it would be nice to use this app.

    Mine was such a distraction to me that I removed my data plan. Do what works for you!

    Give in to the temptation you can keep better tabs on your work outs and food. :) my mom still has a flip phone. I just bought it for her about 4 months ago shes in love its so cute. I taught her how to text. I think for her birthday i am going to get her a Ipod touch and see what she does.

    I think social networking is taking over the world.

    I'd say in 10 years time, when someone is born, they will be issued with a facebook and twitter account! :laugh:

    I have a smartphone but not too addicted at the mo...too busy losing weight, planning wedding and writing a dissertation :noway:

    I don't have interweb on my phone! I do update my Facebook status from my phone sometimes via text, but I can't check to see if anybody's responded. :laugh: Heavens, if I could do that stuff from my phone I'd never get anything else done!

    As with all the others, nope, I don't either! =) Acutally, I do, but it's a very small amount of internet time and I'm afraid if I start to use it, I'll go over big time. Besides, without apps, it's a pain to try to navigate on such a tiny screen, so, I just use my husband's instead. =) I know one of these days we'll have to upgrade, but I'm holding out, otherwise I'll never get off of here!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

    I have a cell, but I hardly use it because I'm at home most of the time. I don't think I even know how to text! It annoys me when I see people walking around texting. It's like they are not even coherent of what's going on around them! When I go out with my daughter, she has to be constantly connected to that damn phone! She's not even with me, she's with everyone else! X(

    i didn't get my first cell phone until i got divorced when i was 30. i'm glad i have it now since some of my children are older and i like to be able to keep in touch, but i rarely talk on it - i mostly text because it's quicker & more discreet. i'm also cheap and don't want to spend the extra money. lol

    I "technically" have internet access on my cell phone, but opted for the plan that costs $2/minute if I use the internet, so I never do. I too feel like I'd get pretty addicted, plus wanted to save the money! I also have that addicted personality, so I think it'd be too much to have constant access!

    I finally got one 3 years ago because my daughter needed to be able to get ahold of me...I work pretty far from home. lol. She got her first one on her 11th bday for Middle School. Most of her friends had them in 2nd grade! UNreal.

    I have a QWERTY keyboard, but no data plan, so I don't go online with the phone.

    Have mine only for rare travel and sooooooo agree on hating them.
    All day long will get calls at work that disconnect or can only make out every few words.

    I threw mine out about 6 years ago because 1, it makes me a lazy cook and 2, I don't trust them. Something weird about cooking a whole meal in 5 minutes O.o

    I have an iphone and I'm ready to pitch it. So much time wasted on it when I could be out enjoying life. That being said though, I have an amazing miCoach app that I use for running, and I started out with couch 2 5k app, and bridge to 10k which is what got me started on running.
    So maybe a more realistic goal is to not use my phone for facebook, twitter, blah blah ... maybe just the "healthy" apps :P

    I have a Juke. It has an mp3 player, but that's it. I'm fine with that, though. I have an iPod touch that I use the MFP app on and it works great.

    I'm too cheap to pay for a data plan and a new phone...
