I resent Verizon ad that implies people who say they aren't interested in fancy phones have secret phone envy. No really, I don't. I use my phone only to call out, usually triple A, a Doctor, arrange a meet up, or for take out food. I do not want to spend hours hunched uncomfortably over a tiny screen trying to get my spastic hands to work tiny keys. I totally get that some people love their phones and there's nothing wrong with that, but I really, really am not interested. I'm betting I'm not the only one. Making commercials that directly insult folks who for one reason or other do not want a whole bunch of apps we'd never use is not a way to get us to upgrade our phones. In my case it makes me wildly hostile. I guess I just don't like being called a thief and a lier a couple of times every hour.
