I know - even though I have had a "smart-phone" for a while - I think I'm on my 3th one now... Very nice, full of stuffs who could make your life better - or at least less difficult... I have even discovered a feature - where I can buy a electronic ticket to the train and bus -and just show it when asked for the ticket - a rater neat feature I would say  ..
But yeah - if they want - they could and will try to get a track on you - or me if they want to do it.. But then again, you can always just leave the phone back home if you do not want to be traced by anyone.. I do it sometimes, when I just want to be alone - and not "there" in any way... Diclotican |
