I got myself a smartphone...This purchase is rather momentous, since I have spent years and years utterly refusing to get a mobile phone of any kind at all...
That's me as well! I wouldn't have the "dumb phone" I have now, if Mr Psmith hadn't gotten it for me. It's usually dead, as I forget I have it. And I have dug in my heels for years over getting a smartphone, despite his patient (yet repeated) exhortations.
...it occurred to me that I could bypass the irritations by simply not using it as a mobile. Don't make calls, and don't tell anyone my number.
Do you know, I never even thought of that approach?? Uh-oh, I feel my resistance crumbling :)
