Is it normal to think simple phones are better than smartphones?

  • 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.
