Oh! I like you. I like you a lot. Let me come back to this post when I get off the toilet and back to my laptop where I can put some real effort into it...
Ok, I wasn't joking. I really was on the crapper when I found your post. Lol.
Secondly, I use a smartphone. Wait! Before you judge let me qualify myself a bit first, because I haven't always used one and I'm not your typical 'smart phone user' either. I don't text often, I don't play mobile games, I I got my first cell phone when I was about 15 or 16 years old. It was a Motorolla Razr and I payed for the phone myself. I kept that phone for about 4 or 5 years and took great care of it. It served me well, and now my dad uses it. I decided to get a new phone for several reasons. One was because I hated my service provider I had. Another was because I needed a way to access the internet through my laptop. Another reason was because I wanted my phone to be able to store ALL of my music.
I found a good deal on Ebay and bought my phone with a broke screen and repaired it myself. The phone is factory unlocked and has a 32 GB storage capacity (which is above average for most I think). It is about half way full right now and I plan on filling it up with even more music.
I have it jailbroke so that I can expand the functionality of it, but even so, there's still a myriad of restrictions/limitations that really shouldn't be.
Some features that I think should be widely available are voice dictation (not Siri, but a functionality that Siri incorporates). Utilization of the infrared sensor to determine when to put the phone on Speakerphone would be a cool feature.
It is absolutely ridiculous to me that we are still doing something so mundane and inefficient as manually typing on touchscreens.
Is it normal to think simple phones are better than smartphones?
