Does having a fancy smart phone with a 3-5" screen make you feel important?

Otherwise why do you pay for data to look at a screen that small?

You have internet available to you while travelling on the road? While walking down the street? At a restaurant?

And are you referring to an actual "office" or Microsoft Office or "The Office"?

My EVO screen is 4.3". My phone can kick your phone's butt (and it has a kickstand). Cool

First of in most states it's illegal to use while driving!

When I'm walking... I'm walking

At a resturant... I eat, look and talk to other people. It would be rude to have my head buried in a smart phone.

Internet, Microsoft Office, Google what more do you need?

How did you get by before one? the answer is you did.
LMAO

Huge, ugly device? That statement right there makes it sound as if you've never even seen one.


So OP, tell us... since you don't need to be so "connected," do you have a cell phone at all?

You didn't answer my questions. I asked if you had internet available to you at those times?

And, it's not illegal if you're a passenger in a car. Nice save though.

You are telling me you like the overall size of your smart phone... they are freaking huge nowadays

I have a w580i great phone unlimited text. Small

Everytime I use a smart phone I'm underwhelmed.

I also got by summer heat by manually rolling down the windows of my car and dealing with the sweat that soaked my clothes ... now I prefer to push a button to roll-up the windows and crank the A/C. Ah, the privileged life! Yahoo!
