I have 4 cell phones. 3 of them are smart phones. I have 2 connected phone lines, one on the non smart phone and one on one of the smart phones. I don't have a data plan on the connected smart phone. One of the smart phones that isn't connected is a ZTE Flash. The battery door broke on my little point and shoot, and another cheap point and shoot cost almost as much as the ZTE Flash. The ZTE Flash was marked down from 279.00 to 99.00 as a Kroger 'card' purchase. It is for their iWireless network, but I never have intended to activate it. I bought it just for the camera....at 12MP, etc. it comes prette close to the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and its competitors. The other smart phone that isn't connected is a Nokia E5. I mainly bought that phone because it is the only phone I'm aware of that has 'non cellular data GPS mapping' which allows for map/directions use through a GPS technology that doesn't use cellular data/a cell signal, so you don't have to have a data plan or even a connected line. It also has an FM radio and other neat features I like. The connected smartphone I have is the first generation (?) AT&T Fusion (GSM) and the non smart phone I have is the Verizon Cosmos 3 (CDMA). Sometimes in rural areas I'll get a CDMA signal, but not a GSM signal. Sometimes vice versa. Over the years, I've found it great to have both. These networks have been replaced by newer, faster networks...but the prepaid plans are still on these networks. I'm like you, I usually only turn onr of those two phones on to make a call...otherwise off. I might spend an entire day making calls, but then go days without making a call, so flat rate per day prepaid works best for me. One of my lines has a Texas area code, and the other a California area code, so the maximum number of people can call and leave a message without any cost to them (I have older relatives who don't have cell phones). I disconnected the land line in my house in California in the early 2000s because I never used it. I haven't had a landline since. I also have a Fuji FinePix S8200 40x optical zoom camera. I also have a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ27 camera, but the charger mount for the proprietary battery sometimes doesn't work.
P.S. I usually use the alarm, and the calculator (for MPG figuring ), on the Verizon Cosmos 3. Last edited by nookandcrannycar; 08-18-2014 at 11:53 PM. Reason: Added P.S. |

Great! I think this shows that you have the same stereo/head unit that I have. IIRC, some USDM 3rd Gen Yari have a head unit that is a level below and doesn't have the above features.

It is not always easy to browse through a mass storage device (usb) while most HU will have an easy to browse menu or you can directly browse from the iPod. An issue I have with my JVC HU is every time I start the car, the hdd doesn't power up fast enough to be readable, so nothing plays until I select the USB port again. |

Wish I'd seen this earlier.
You could have gotten MT and ID off your bucket-list; and saved $4k on a Gen3. Mine. Enjoy. Elsewhere, someone commented how Yaris sales are dropping as Yaris owners are getting older and young people are not being recruited. Well, that's me...frankly, at my age, I'm tired of driving. Delighted I'm only going four miles in to work. And a Yaris isn't what I need anymore. Enjoy these quality small cars while they're still around. |

I received a refund check today for $312.77 re the purchase of my 2014 Yaris. The check came from the dealer (I would have e-mailed the dealership about this had I not received a check within the next few days). The amount the dealer ended up having to pay government tax + titling authorities (Tax-Florida, Titling-Texas) ended up being less than they originally charged me (detail = today's post# 118 on Yaris Sales Hit a New Low thread). So...my out the door price ended up being $15,677.23 (not $15,990).

. It was definitely worth the trip (not that there were any 5 speed manuals that were really any closer )! It ended up being almost exactly $2,000 more than my 07 was new. With my '07 I paid the full factory sticker (the dealer knew they had one of only 5 manual transmission hatches in the NE U.S. with a new configuration/body style/model, and another person wandered in wanting to buy it after I was already there), plus T (higher rate) & L. With the '14, I'm sure getting the tail end of the outgoing model year (rather than the beginning of a new exterior/model name, as with the '07) helped re the overall search for the lowest price.

. October 7th at 5:30pm Eastern Standard Time = 8 years since I drove away from the dealership in Rhode Island in my new 2007 Yaris. I was hoping to hit 300,000 miles before hitting 8 years. Even with the out to CA leg (1,900 + miles) of a round trip before October 7th, I think I'm going to fall a bit short.
