I think you will find pros and cons to all smartphones. That being said, I use and iphone and couldn't be happier. It's been going strong for a year and half. At first I had a case, but then just got rid of it. I just have a protective anti scratch invisibleshield on the touchpad. It doesn't have a scratch on it (aside from normal wear). I charge it once a day...sometimes every other day depending on how much I use it. The apps are awesome. Having the internet on hand nearly anywhere you are is the tits. That doesn't mean its for everyone, I guess. Here's why smartphones are great for me:
If I don't know the answer to a question, it bugs me all day. Having wikipedia on hand at all times works for this. I need to check my email a lot for work. I don't know what I would do without that. Now that I'm thinking about work...I use the decent camera to take pics of stuff I'm working on. Sometimes I don't have my ipod on hand and some music is called for. Pandora. I like to keep up with the latest gadgets. If none of that sounds appealing to you, I doubt you need to upgrade. Get a cheap phone. As far as games go...I loved them for 2 weeks. I was seriously glued to my iphone. That wore off, though, so if none of the stuff smartphones are actually useful for appeals to you, then why bother?

You should see the mess the "Evolution of Music" thread has ended up. That Steveeden guy wrote a gigantic post saying something to the extent of "I am here to condescend".
Anyway, I nominated you as this year's best member for this kind of thing. Keep it up! Last edited by Salami; 12-19-2011 at 02:50 PM. |

Nope! Not really. It's tricky too, because of how much they constantly change. One phone might be better than another, but then the newest version that comes out might be better than the competitor's. Only until the competitor comes out with another phone and so on. |

It wasn't until I got it that I realized how useful it is. Prior to that, I was all "pshh, you silly people and your silly iphones. I have a phone that calls people, and that's enough for me." Then I was all, "nevermind..." I know I could live without it. But, life just wouldn't be as convenient.
