I miss phones where it didn't matter if I dropped it. I had one phone that while intoxicated I got upset at a phone call and threw the phone into the woods and ignored it the whole night, next morning it was perfectly fine.

No, I think it was a Samsung A930 flip phone

I miss analog phones, where if your signal was weak you might still make out what the person was saying through the static, vs. the digital garbage we have now (if it doesn't just cut out).

Sometimes we have those little epiphanies in the shower.. sometimes they come from other places. This is a home for those epiphanies.
