I'm team apple. We both used to have droids, then switched to apple, then he switched back. He loves to point out what his phone can do what mine can't, and I'm like BUT YOURS IS THE SIZE OF A PHONE BOOK. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hotmail/page/2#post-1991873 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 13:17:00 +0000 skipra 1991873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha I still mainly use hotmail. Mostly because someone has a very similar gmail address to mine and I get her email all.the.time and I don't want my important email to accidentally go to the wrong person. I do get looks or comments sometimes but whatever. DH and I have a joint email that gets used almost as often and it's gmail...<br /> I also have a non iPhone smartphone and it is 100% because DH abhors all apple products. He knows more about that stuff than me so I just let him pick out my phones. And I know how to use it and don't complain about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hotmail/page/2#post-1991744 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 12:16:08 +0000 Modern Daisy 1991744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol, I have hotmail! I tried to get a gmail account that somehow resembled my real name but every variation was taken. My last name is very unique so this is baffling. By I didn't want to be <a href="mailto:Name123456789012334@gmail.com">Name123456789012334@gmail.com</a> just to get a gmail account haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hotmail/page/2#post-1991674 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 11:44:13 +0000 looch 1991674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: Agreed! I tried to use an android and it was just too complicated for what I needed to do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hotmail/page/2#post-1991668 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 11:43:10 +0000 Mae 1991668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I think perhaps the thing is that there ARE better phones than iPhones, but they take a bit more know-how to know how to use them. And so only people inclined to learn how to use them should buy them. And people who are not particularly tech savvy (ahem, MIL) should stick with phones that a monkey could use. I.e. iPhone. (not that I'm calling myself dumb as a monkey-- but I do appreciate the incredible ease of use of the apple platforms!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hotmail/page/2#post-1991658 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 11:41:00 +0000 looch 1991658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: so my husband is Android and I am Apple, and he constantly likes to point out what his phone can do and where Apple has shortcomings, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hotmail/page/2#post-1991654 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 11:39:49 +0000 Mae 1991654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: haha apple, obv. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hotmail/page/2#post-1991582 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 10:53:10 +0000 looch 1991582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: so are you on team apple or team android?</p> <p>I found this to be very polarizing, in a light way, of course. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hotmail/page/2#post-1991577 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 10:50:11 +0000 Synchronicity 1991577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: Oh lord, spoken like a true Apple zombie! My cousin is one of you... I don't think he was even aware that there were other (better) options out there until recently :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hotmail/page/2#post-1991561 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 10:39:19 +0000 Mae 1991561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so glad I'm not alone in this :) </p> <p>Also I don't so much side-eye people with flip phones because I assume it is a money thing which I can't really judge for. </p> <p>But I will admit that I sort of judge people who have smart phones that not iPhones. But only SORT of because I do "know" that other phones have features iPhones do not and I accept that some people could like those phones better. But... everyone I know with a non-iphone smart phone does nothing but bitch about it. Most especially my MIL/SIL who have gone through several smart phones, none of which they can ever really figure out how to use. And they're asking us questions about them and we're like... I DON'T KNOW JUST BUY AN IPHONE ALREADY. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hotmail/page/2#post-1991508 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 10:12:35 +0000 MenagerieMama 1991508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ElbieKay: my ILs share an AOL account! We even signed them up for gmail and they haven't switched...when they visit we can hear the "you've got mail" when they check their email! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hotmail/page/2#post-1991443 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 09:36:04 +0000 Mamasig 1991443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I'm old and clueless. I have a yahoo account which I still use. Why is that so uncool and why is gmail so cool? Also, the only friends I communicate with via email are work friends and we are all old. Email didn't even exist until I was maybe a sophomore in college!</p> <p>Someone enlighten me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hotmail/page/2#post-1991429 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 09:28:46 +0000 StbHisMrs 1991429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a live account, my work email, and a hotmail from my early 20's that I haven't logged into in over 5 years. I can't recall why I have live over gmail. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hotmail/page/2#post-1991400 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 09:13:30 +0000 LuLu Mom 1991400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have Hotmail, and I think I have a good reasoning for it. I work with Google, I have a work account and because they insist on everything being tied together I get really tired of having to login/logout every time I wanted to use my personal gmail so I just went back to using my pre-married Hotmail. in all honesty I use my work email for the majority of stuff so it's just for store coupons, some family emails, ect. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hotmail/page/2#post-1991397 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 09:12:22 +0000 MrsKoala 1991397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a yahoo email. I use gmail for professional email and yahoo is where all my sale/shipping/junk mail goes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hotmail/page/2#post-1991396 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 09:12:01 +0000 jedeve 1991396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe aol is like the new vintage email account. Like the PBR of emails. It's going to become trendy again before we know it!</p> <p>Didn't hotmail change their name? I assumed it was because it reminded everyone of when they had email accounts like soccerfan86@hotmail or something!</p> <p>I judge anyone who doesn't just use their name in a email! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hotmail/page/2#post-1991392 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 09:11:00 +0000 Synchronicity 1991392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still have a hotmail account because I've been using it for a million years and I'm too lazy to reroute all of my email somewhere else. I also have a gmail account or two floating around. Side eye away! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hotmail/page/2#post-1991377 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 08:52:15 +0000 catomd00 1991377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ummm aol accounts trump hotmail or yahoo lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hotmail#post-1991363 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 08:43:31 +0000 namaste 1991363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know someone with a Juno account so :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hotmail#post-1991354 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 08:35:53 +0000 JennyG 1991354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlejoy: My dad still has an aol account. I can not convince him to change. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hotmail#post-1991334 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 08:22:41 +0000 Applesandbananas 1991334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I couldn't tell you what people have as their email addresses, I don't have that kind of time to be worried about whether it's gmail or yahoo or hotmail or whatever. On my phone or computer, it just comes up as their name, so I'd have to drill down to see their actual email address and I don't care. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hotmail#post-1991330 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 08:18:15 +0000 Littlebit 1991330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use yahoo! It all looks the same on my phone - I never log on on a computer anymore. I have a gmail account but it's actually my 'junk' account that I give stores. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hotmail#post-1991321 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 08:10:56 +0000 Smurfette 1991321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH has a yahoo and I have hotmail for our junk accounts. I still use hotmail for pay pal cause I am too lazy to change. I use gmail as my main email. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hotmail#post-1991310 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 08:00:24 +0000 Anagram 1991310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh, and I've had my same Hotmail account for 17 years, haha. Since I was in HS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hotmail#post-1991308 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 07:59:37 +0000 Anagram 1991308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have Hotmail and Gmail. But it's my Gmail that is full of junk mail and mommy group listservs....so I use Hotmail if someone really wants to get in touch with me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hotmail#post-1991292 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 07:27:09 +0000 looch 1991292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use my yahoo account for things when I don't want people to know my real name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hotmail#post-1991271 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 07:11:00 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1991271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My feelings on hotmail are that everyone I knew that had one got one of those viruses that sent random emails to people. AOL i would definitely judge but I know people who have yahoo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hotmail#post-1991262 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 07:03:27 +0000 blackbird 1991262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally have yahoo!
