reliable LG-VX8300 flip phone for business and actually got 2 new batteries for it after using the original for over a decade!!!. The original battery was made in Korea and still got the job done but couldn't hold a charge so well..

The new ones say 'made in China'

(no doubt still produced and smuggled from North Korea

) Wait till' the Donald' finds out I'm circumventing his economic sanctions on Fatboy!

Well my long ride with my phone since the '90's(25+ years?!!) keeping in touch with 200 ATM techs et al for 17 years is over...finito... kaput! The phone with bluetooth speaker from Radio Shack on visor still works; but damn Verizon has gone from G3 to G5 technology and my faithful 'beam-me-up-Scotty" communicator is useless as of December

Learning new technology in the 21st century ain't fun for me at age 71; this modern tablet I'm posting from, and my WIN10 computer, are trouble enough-even a new car would aggravate me with a damn screen in the middle of the dashboard! But most of all, I'll miss the bemused, shocked look of people when I would pull out this relic out to use it!

In short, the 21st century really sucks!

Let me guess, your modern tablet is made of clay.
