for a while my phone wasn’t functional so every time i’d go out i would bring a digital camera, discman, & a book so that i could have the main uses of my phone (bar communication) covered. it was only a little strange & disorienting

I didnt have a smart phone for aggeeessss, but now i do. i did have an ipad that whole time so idk if that’s cheating. the good thing about having an ipad/ tablet/ computer and not a smart phone is you can do all the stuff you need but it’s not like with you all the time? i did really miss google maps, but the other main thing that was irritating was not being able to scan QR codes for menus etc.
music wise, you can get the radio on a lot of flip phones or nokias, and i was never smart enough to figure it out but you can download music onto some. or i guess you could get an ipod or something. idk if this is helpful but i hope so!

the phone has too many things on it. i’m finding i prefer my devices to just have one use. playstation is for games, tv is for shows and movies, record player is for music etc

the princess diaries 2 soundtrack lived in my discman. our living room radio was for radio disney. the boxy glitchy little alarm clock/radio/tape player in my bedroom was for jazz. when cds lived outside of my discman, i could offer them a home in my blue and orange nickelodeon karaoke machine (just a small boom box w/ attached microphone lol, pictured here). & when i was 11 i got an ipod shuffle that i wore around my neck and filled with songs mostly by lemon demon and smoosh (smoosh had recently been profiled in american girl magazine).
