Do you want to stick with a phone that actually has buttons? \u00a0Or do you go\u00a0strictly\u00a0to the touch screen? \u00a0Being a Blackberry lover, I obviously love the keys.<\/p>\n<p>One would think that these decisions wouldn&#8217;t be so difficult, but\u00a0committing\u00a0to an electronic device I&#8217;ll practically have attached to me is fairly important. \u00a0Until I&#8217;m ready to make that decision &#8211; I&#8217;m sticking with my Roaming, Sprint Blackberry.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The other day I got a sad letter from Sprint. \u00a0After almost 8 years of service with Sprint, they have decided that they can no longer support my usage while living in Wyoming. \u00a0I moved to Wyoming about 3 years ago, and until 1 year ago, I had great cell coverage &#8211; then one day&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-67","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-thoughts"],"taxonomy_info":{"category":[{"value":48,"label":"Thoughts"}]},"featured_image_src_large":false,"author_info":{"display_name":"Rtag","author_link":"https:\/\/rebeccataggart.com\/?author=1"},"comment_info":0,"category_info":[{"term_id":48,"name":"Thoughts","slug":"thoughts","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":48,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":9,"filter":"raw","cat_ID":48,"category_count":9,"category_description":"","cat_name":"Thoughts","category_nicename":"thoughts","category_parent":0}],"tag_info":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rebeccataggart.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rebeccataggart.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rebeccataggart.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rebeccataggart.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rebeccataggart.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=67"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/rebeccataggart.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":69,"href":"https:\/\/rebeccataggart.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67\/revisions\/69"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rebeccataggart.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=67"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rebeccataggart.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=67"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rebeccataggart.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=67"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
