    I am easy on computing resources. Memory is not usually a problem for me.

    Overheard a fellow student, "Argh, no room on my phone. I have like 2000 photos on here."

    640K should be enough for you then.

    People rapid fire on the photos, especially with iPhones, because it's nearly immediate to capture again. That's how the photo counts get so crazy, though backing them up online and deleting the copy on your phone is easy enough and should be done.
    Get that weak shit off my track

    @ YW. Good one.

    *checks properties on HD* I bought my current desktop PC about three years ago. It has a 2TB HD and a ~220 GB SSD. The HD is only 1/4 used and the SSD has only 100 GB used. I have a ~450 GB external USB HD I use for backup.

    I still use a six-year-old iPod. Apple stopped supporting it like four years ago.

    Check out ProjectFi* and Republic wireless* if you don't want another contract. They both offer wifi calling and refund you any data (from 4G/3G) that you don't use. Shannon and my phone bills are right around $40 per month, instead of $100/month like most contract carriers. Only difference is that you have to pay full price for the phone up front.

    If you don't need a super smart phone. The Moto G (3rd gen) on republic is waterproof and is only $200. I got my daughter the Moto E ($129) and it's arguably better than my 1st gen Moto X(2013).

    If you plan on keeping your new smart phone for quite a while, you could save quite a bit by buying the phone yourself.

    *only concern= You still have to buy the phones from Google or Republic without a contract, you can't bring your own unlocked phone.

    I always use things way beyond their planned obsolescence.
