Do you guys wear cargo pants to carry all these extra devices or are belt clips coming back into style?

If I could get away with carrying a tiny device again instead of lugging around a brick I would, but the world has made it as inconvenient as possible not to.

A BlackBerry from 15 years ago weighed just over 100g and did 80% of what your modern-day pocket computer can.

When a bank eventually requires a more recent phone to work, they will carry three phones, one for that one bank, one more for the rest of the banks, and a personal one.

Then they might move somewhere else with different banks and different hardware requirements, they will carry 5 phones.

I mean, did it do 80% of the stuff? Devices have changed a lot.
