Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion What's New At Axiom 30 Year Anniversary Celebration

You can all laugh at me if you'd like...but, I own a Tracfone! I don't need a fancy phone since no one ever calls me when I'm not available by landline. If I'm not at home, I'm at work. I found it less expensive for me than a contract. Also, one advantage of a Tracfone is you can call internationally without extra charges. You use up the same amount of minutes on the phone as you would calling your neighbor. I use that feature a lot when calling my friend in Brazil. I don't know of any regular cell phone service that includes international calling for free...without upgrading to expensive plans.

Note to self for September: Gather a small group of members to point at Mary and laugh....

I've never cared for whatever is the latest and greatest for phones. They're a tool to make calls, and that's it for me. So Mary, you're really "OK" in my book! (though I still want to do that laughing" thing in Sept.!

Jack, take a couple of test photos with your phone v. your camera. Megapixels isn't everything, and it just might be that you like the photos taken with your regular camera more because of a superior lens.

I'm not saying the convenience of not having to carry a separate camera wouldn't win out in the end, but....

I generally don't care either, but a rotary dial phone doesn't work very well in a car. Well, at least not after the first 20' of travel time...

I did a brief test Mark. In my opinion, the HTC is marginally superior. Even if it isn't, it is close enough that, as you say, the convenience of not having to carry a separate camera wins out. Final judgement won't really be made until I spend some real time with the HTC, and take numerous photos.

Remember, I am a photographic hack. I just want some relatively decent snapshots.

Those "snapshots" you take of friends and family are infinitely more important than the photos of products people pay me to take!

Agreed!

I've been to the Moose Head, but my wife's family usually frequents the Ironwood next door.

Been to the Ironwood once. I'm good friends with many of the members of the high school class which was 2 years behind mine. They are having a 45th reunion in about a month and the Friday night icebreaker is going to be at the Ironwood. I will be in attendance and I'll holler your name to see if anyone cheers, boos, or runs.

Old riddle, this reminded me off.
How far is it to MooseJaw?
