Here is why I have a smart phone: streaming music (a lot of it!) GPS/Navigator snowmobile and ATV trail maps ballistic calculator checking weather and radar taking pictures checking email finding ethanol-free gas (Puregas.org) And it still fits in my pocket, unlike a tablet! It's a tool for some of us, not a "time waster". 
Music is now offered in MP3 variety; GARMIN offers superior GPS w/out the monthly fee....the rest of your list validates my point, in your own words. So you'd rather carry around a GSP/dash kit/charger, iPod, pencil and notepad, digital camera, calculator, alarm clock, paperback books, portable DVD player, etc etc etc? Are all the things I listed really there to "satisfy boredom"? A TABLET does all those things.....I mentioned that in my initial post. A tablet does not fit in my pocket, and a tablet does almost nothing on my list, if there is no wifi. |

My list validates your point? What have you been smoking?
I have about 20 gigs of MP3s on my phone. But I can stream almost any song ever recorded, literally anything I want to hear, as long as I have cell reception. How am I going to check the radar and forecast, stream unlimited music, use GPS, find ethanol-free gas, etc, on one device that fits in my pocket, WHERE THERE IS NO WIFI, without a smart phone? You must be one of those city people who has wifi everywhere they go. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I would say it improves my quality of life, but you can call it what you like. Isn't everything we do (away from work) to satisfy boredom? If I'm out on the lake fishing and want to check the radar for life threatening storms (which I can't do with a tablet), or check to see if I got an important email (which I can't do with a tablet), is that "trivial"? I knew it: you live in the city, with wifi everywhere you go, and you don't understand how people can live different from you, so you had to rant about it. Whatever, it's your blood pressure. |

OP is one of those idiotic trolls that is trying to boost his own self esteem by blasting off BS that he thinks makes him look smarter/better than anyone else on the forums related to the topic. "Oh, I am better than everyone else because I am not dumb enough to pay for one of those damned smart phone thingamajigs, and I'm so smart I found out I can use tablets and other devices on WiFi to sorta replicate what a smartphone does". After he's called out and made to look like the idiot he probably is, he's going to turn around and go "OH GEE, LOL, I WAS TROLLING GUYS, LIKE, REALLY, LOL, I GOT YA!" It's some kind of sad little game tards on the net play all the time

How can you justify the $100+ per month (& a contract) phone bill for a DIAL TONE with the ability to satisfy your boredom (that's what it does, RIGHT?). I have seen children, not more than 7 years old with their own personal Iphone (cracked screen too!). I don't get it.......someone please help me understand the INSANITY, why not just have a Tablet and a regular phone and pocket the cash? VANITY? ADHD? OCD? C'mon, geez. That is all, carry on.

I still have no idea WTF you're trying to argue. A tablet still requires data for most functions. A tablet without cellular capability and a flip phone is silly. Why even carry the tablet with you if you can't connect to the internet? What can a tablet do without internet? Play games? Oh...that's for when you're bored. 
Add a cellular plan for a tablet and your existing call/text plan for a smart phone, you're pretty close to the same price plan if you were just combine two devices and just carry a smartphone. |

Because I like to watch new tranny midget interracial horse porn while travelling down the freeway, not the stuff I've already seen.

I was perfectly happy with my $7 a month Virgin Mobile flip phone. Did everything I wanted in a phone. Then a couple of weeks ago my company gave me a Samsung S6. I use it to play games in meetings, but for any real work (including sending e-mail) I still bring my laptop. I'm keeping my flip phone. |

Hmm my wife and I both have iPhones, I use it for everything, email, banking, calls, texts, Google, gps, music, shopping, news, Arfcom. My wife and I are both in public service and I go to school full time also. Through the week I'm literally home long enough to sleep from 8 am to 2 pm. It's how I stay in touch with my family for now. This will really blow your mind, our 10 year old has my wife's old iPhone 4s, it's nice to FaceTime him when he goes to bed. He is also taken a interest in running(didn't get that shit from me) and uses Pandora and the Nike running app to keep track of his distance/pace.
Here he is finishing his first non-school 5K a few weeks ago. Ran it by himself. Has a goal of a half marathon before he turns 13. 
It works for my family so I don't really give a fiddlers fuck about your opinion of my family using smart phones. |

In this thread we bitch about people spending their money how they want.
I am about to ditch a contract in favor of an ATT 18 month phone plan for an iPhone 6s+...I'll be paying a little more per month than I currently am.. I'll indulge the OP under the guise of "there are no stupid questions" 1) Because I want to/can 2) Because my eye sight is poor these days and I need a larger screen 3) I depend on my phone somewhat for work communications/viewing data 4) Because I have periods of down time that I do not want to waste, and like reading to keep informed 5) Did I say because I want to/can? |

I pay 100/ month. My cell in my only phone. A traditional land line would be $60 and only available in my house. I am happy to have a phone that goes anywhere and is reliable. I have not had a land line in over a decade.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
There are consumer studies that show the contrary; in regards to the average cell phone bill among the four top carriers AT&T/Sprint/Tmobile/Verizon (they also factored in taxes and fees). You're wrong for a lot of us. I'm paying $30 - $35 WITH tax for a smartphone. I don't have a land line and I have a tablet. It won't do what I can do w/ the smartphone. Without the data plan it's worthless, and with the data plan I'd pay more than I do for phone. The tablet is good for reading books or surfing the net. I'd be lost w/o the phone. I couldn't get my phone calls,voicemail from work or my emails. Neither of those would work on a tablet w/o a data plan. The phone calls from work come across as cellular data. ------- I just checked my October statement. 
Here's a quick summary of your October 11 statement: Your total is $30.21 |

I'm sorry you can't afford $100 a month to have a science fiction device in your pocket.

How can you justify the $100+ per month (& a contract) phone bill for a DIAL TONE with the ability to satisfy your boredom (that's what it does, RIGHT?). I have seen children, not more than 7 years old with their own personal Iphone (cracked screen too!). I don't get it.......someone please help me understand the INSANITY, why not just have a Tablet and a regular phone and pocket the cash? VANITY? ADHD? OCD? C'mon, geez. That is all, carry on. Your phone must be defective. Mine does more than satisfy boredom. |

I mostly use mine for work (vpn dial in) and as a hotspot for remote connections. Work provides one free of charge and the other I keep for personal business.
Outside of that it's nice to have a weather radar, internet and various accounting applications at my fingertips. |

My smart phone does a fuck-ton more than just entertain me. But thanks for playing the "I don't know WTF this does but I don't like it" game. Name one task that can't be accomplished with a stand alone device? which has no monthly subscription fee.... Why would I want stand alone devices when I have one that does it all? See my last post... Exactly? What kind of fucking sense does that make? Why carry one iPhone when I can carry all of these stand alone devices in my pocket, right? -Computer -Calculator -gps -Camera -Video Camera -Voice recorder -Telephone -mp3 player -ballistic calc On and on and on. OP just admit it, you're a luddite that made a bad post. |
