Goodbye STARTAC III

My deepest sorrow. The 7-year beloved mobile phone is broken. STARTAC III from motorola. I bought it at 2007 and my hands were so attached to it. Even  though the people are using iPhone or Android phones, I felt no inconvenience. The more it ages, I become more proud that I'm using STARTAC III. The reason I can't fix it is that Motorola does not run mobile phone business anymore in Korea. You can choose among Apple, LG, Samsung only. Now, I am going to leave a good old memories with STARTAC III.

I don't understand peoples using iPhones or Android phones. A smartphone is not just a mobile phone. it has a full function of a PC. It is a whole small PC with phone. They are on-line for 24 hours. Most of smartphone users don't install firewall or anti-virus apps for internet safety. Their phones are exposed to cracking, virus, malware. And I don't like the idea that one must log on iTunes or gmail to use their phones. Why should I do it? Mobile phone has nothing to do with specific software. Recently, we became aware of PRISM of NSA and The Apple and The Google got big mony from NSA by leaking informations of iPhone and Android phones. For all that, people love to use smartphones. This is just stupid. Maybe someday I have to use smartphone when there is no choice. I wish I could use Ubuntu for mobile phone.
