First we had big clunky phones that you couldn't call anyone without being attached to a wire, then the cordless phone that needed to be charged, then the cellphone that could last a week, and now smart phones that you can't do anything with without being near a cord to charge it. We've gone back to corded phone Holy s**t technology is going backwards in time!

ReplyThis is why I went from an iPhone to the first HTC Surround Windows 7 Phone to my old Samsung from the Triassic Era. The old bastard has like a week of battery life AND custom ringtones. Suck it
ReplyI had a smart phone, then got s****y with the crap battery life and went back to my old nokia. People look down on it, but I love it.
ReplyI'm on my second Motorola RAZr III in six years. From the self-absorbed way I see everyone everywhere gazing into their smartphones, checking their e-mail, texting other people, surfing the web, & generally not interacting with anyone around them, I decided to take a pass until this bit of techno-wankery is over. Or at least evolved to the point where I don't feel like grabbing the phone & hurling it down the elevator shaft, or out in front of the nearest vehicle, so that the owner will look up & acknowledge that they're out in public, & not in some private broom closet with no one around..
I vote we invest in omni-tool technology
I'm getting an HTC Wildfire soon, it looks pretty awesome. I don't take photos, use IM or make video calls, so those features won't be of much use, but I want to be able to surf the net on my mobile phone easier and I want a bigger screen because my eyesight isn't so good. Most of the bigger phones are too expensive but this one's under $200 so it's pretty good. I like smart phones because the display is big, clear and well-lit, they have touch screens and it's easier to update facebook from them.
Replylol!
Replyi miss my dumb-phone..
ReplyI just got an LG EnV3. All the awesomeness of a smartphone with the no-bullshit features of a regular phone. Y'all jelly?
Reply Hide All See All 3 RepliesOf what exactly? That you have another bill to pay or your terrible grammar? Can't say I'm exact "jelly" of either.
After about three months the EnV3 will start turning off whenever it wants. Eventually it gets to the point where it will only stay on a few minutes at a time. Next the screen will start to distort and scramble, and by then I hope you have the location of all your features and contacts memorized because soon the screen won't work at all. This happened to my EnV3 and two of my friends' EnV3's. Good luck to you.
LOL good one, dude.
Switching from a Blackberry to an iPhone was like trading a tricycle for a Lotus
ReplyGot an I-Phone 3 about 6 months ago. Still not even close to tired of it. Having portable 3g Safari was worth it on its own. I never have to be more than 4 seconds away from Wikipediam, Tv-Tropes, and Google Earth (with free real-time GPS function)again!!!
ReplyWell, yeah, the iPhones are what every other smartphone is compared to.
I just switched from a REALLY OLD Sony Ericsson to a smartphone. I didn't experience the stages between those. I'm suffering.
Replyi wish they had phones that had giant screens, but still had a physical NUMPAD keyboard (not qwerty, i hate that on a phone). i know they have flip phones in japan that have the top screen as a big screen, and the bottom as a numpad. we need those phones here. now. the reason why i hate qwerty phones is that you need TWO, take note, TWO hands to use it. with the numpad, you only need one.

"easy to text with one hand" exactly what are you doing with the other. Or what are you looking at in your iPhone? :O
whatever his "Associate" is texting. requires the other hand for... ministrations
user typed "tahnks. autocorrected to: "mastodon."
Replymastadons are awesome. I think I'll thank everyone bysaying "mastadon" now
Yeah, I switched by to my old phone from my Xperia x10. I still have the phone, but I only use it for google maps and the gps. T9 will win over virtual keyboard any day. Also, since the 2.0 update on the x10, it became unbearably slow; forcing me to choose between youtube and the Google Maps.
ReplyI haven't gotten a smart phone yet, because all I use mine for is talking and texting, which I can do unlimited amounts of cheaper with my non-smart phone. The only reason I ever touch a smart phone is when I steal my sister's to play Angry Birds. It's the only reason I would want a smart phone, and she conveniently downloaded it so I didn't have to get one. God bless her.
ReplyYes, I am an AB addict. *hangs head in shame* But I can't help it, they haven't invented ABA yet!
My Envy 1 got wet and I need a new phone... Do they still make non-touchscreen phones with keyboards? Because I will drop my phone plan right now and join any company that still makes a phone you can actually use as a phone.
ReplyIt had been quite a long time ago since your question, but if you still need to know: a samsung corby is a very decent non-touchscreen phone with qwerty-keyboard :)
God I f*****g hate Bing so much.
ReplyThey really do need to just let you take off the goddamn preloaded apps without breaking into your phone
ReplyStill holding out with an ordinary mobile phone. Plan to become a recluse when they stop making them and my last one finally breaks.
Replymy phone's most innovative feature is a slide-out keyboard
I will admit that smartphones have an annoying tendency to act stupid, but since my husband deployed and usually uses the internet to chat with me, its really damn nice to not miss his chats because i am not sitting by the computer. Sitting for any length of time when you have four kids is hard to do. Sitting by a computer, obviously distracted, is begging for them to do some type of creative activity you really wish they hadnt. Like paint the dog.
ReplyAnd I'm sure those four kids get all stuck and s**t crawling around the cinderblocks of your trailer.
why did I never paint the dog?
