1. The forum & main site will stay up indefinitely after MTurk shuts down in case anyone needs anything. I assume a handful of things will break after MTurk vaporizes & I'll fix it as fast as I can to keep the two main parts of the site online.

    I actually had all four of those phones... well, the blackberry was a 9670, and the razr ended up breaking. I also had a nice sony erikkson at one point, but this was all going up to 2010, so I'm not sure they all count.

    Ok some of these researchers need to be tracked and put on a do not allow into positions of societal shaping power list but I think it is too late.

    Nah, the poll is asking what phone people are using right now, not at some random point in the past. As you can see, 7 turkers are still carrying Razr V3 as their main phone in 2025, and @malysa is stuck with a Nokia brick. If only requesters paid us better so we could finally upgrade... :(

    The what? And why?

    Starting to suspect @QualifyForBigPayday is actually a spy using TurkerView to send secret cryptic messages back to headquarters or something.
