I see so many people carrying smart phone on the skytrain, bus and even walking on the street.
With my PC phone, I only use for “phone purposes.” I do not feel that my phone failed me in any ways; however as the battery life is significantly shortened after three years of non-stop usage, I think it needs to rest in my drawer. It would be great to get a new phone through this giveaway 🙂
