@cigarBGuitarEfx I’ve always had 2 phones for as long as I could remember, but my corporate phone is really locked down, and it’s a blackberry, so I can’t do a great deal with it anyway.

I’d seriously get a blackberry if WhatsApp was supported.

Its has begun! I'm #DitchingMySmartphone (god help me!)

@chuck I don't think I've had any positive feedback from anyone who has tried this yer haha.

@gairsty I am. I have bought a Nokia 105. I miss my smartphone already haha

@timapple feature phone.

@dpreacher I set mine to Firefox. It's Chrome out of the box though.

@AndrzejL I think I am mate!

@popey I'm not actually a big user of the camera, unless I'm in a trip or something. Having said that, you could be on to something with the SIM thing. That could be a happy medium maybe.

@wion for me, the main ones are going to be Spotify, Podcasts, Email/Cal and WhatsApp. I have a cunning plan though!

@ivan thanks.

@OlafOlafsson thanks!

@fatboy thanks mate.

@OlafOlafsson mainly the sheer amount of time I spend on it. I don't think it's healthy.

It's gonna be REALLY difficult though. I'm not sure if it will be successful, truth be told, but we will see.

@ivan yeah, I have a lot of use cases that I'm trying to work around where possible. It's going to be extremely difficult I think, but it concerns me how much time I spend on my phone.

I've tried putting it down, but it's too easy to pick it up if it's always with me. Honestly, I don't think it's gonna be successful, but I'm gonna try.

@mike @mikerswain it's Mike-Inception!

New experiment starting today - getting rid of my smartphone for at least a month. That will probably mean I'm on here less, but I am going to write about it.

Really not sure how this is gonna go, but I think it's gonna be A LOT harder than ditching Google.

@dpreacher default.

@joseph @mike BAN HIM!!!

@OlafOlafsson it's certainly possible, but unlikely.
