Better Call Saul and technology

Hi @Andrea and @tim_m, have you by any chance seen the TV series Better Call Saul? Tim, with your legal background I thought you might have enjoyed watching it? Anyway, if you have, maybe you could answer my question: I’m watching season 2 again just to refresh my memory so I than continue with seasons 3, 4 and 5 and I wonder how it is possible that although season 2 was released in 2016 the attorneys at the two law firms still use Blackberries, Nokias and other phones that are not smartphones. Smartphones have been in use since January 2007 when the iPhone was released and lawyers usually have the latest and most expensive gadgets and devices. So why don’t they have smartphones in Better Call Saul?

Many thanks.

@Torsten. I haven’t watched this tv series. I’ve watched ‘Breaking Bad’.

It’s a good question about mobile phones. I haven’t noticed even with ‘Suits’.

Note to self: Look out for it in the future :+1:
