Functionally, so-so / Concept, wonderful!
Functionally, the Wisephone can be glitchy at times and I wish there we more options as far as settings on the phone (i.e. I wish I could have sound on for notifications, but turn off sound for navigating within the phone--right now its all or nothing for sound). A couple other things are that the keyboard calabor isn't nearly as precise as the iPhone and I find myself making alot more typos. The main issue I have though is the size. I really wish this phone was smaller (like some of the older iPhones). I prefer the flip phone in that it's smaller (I forget about it more, which I want, plus it can fit in any pocket). As far as the Wisephone concept goes, The Wisephone is a wonderful tool that's helped me live more freely. One of the first things I noticed after making the switch was that I did more purposeful activities to fill my day. I'm finding myself taking the time to prepare and cook yummy meals from scratch most days, reading more books in the last year than I have since I was a kid, spending my bits of down time tidying the house or taking a real breather rather than scrolling my phone. It's been wonderful slowing down and simplifying my life--it's crazy how big a difference not having a smart-phone makes! Thank you Techless!
