Struggling - I miss smartphone functionality

Discussion

Have been pretending to go light since I received my LP3 two weeks ago. But I travel for work a LOT, and use my iPhone for plane tickets, public transport info, calendaring, navigation, podcasts, payments, and all the rest of it. (You probably know this because you've likely done the same.)

I know I can deal with the above with practice and time. I can carry an old-fashioned wallet, check in for a flight on my laptop and receive a paper boarding pass at bag drop, learn to use the navigation app, etc.

The real struggles are as follows:

  1. I can't get the LP3 to sync with my car system which makes navigating in the vehicle a problem

  2. Sending a text - there's no auto-correct. Small issue - but it feels like such a drama.

All in all, this shift is really hard. I want to love it. I want to make the change. But I'm losing willpower by the day.

What feedback do you have for me?
