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?

My bill is $112 for 4 phones with Unlimited Text and free M2M calls to any carrier. Still too high if you ask me but my wife NEEDS the texting and I like it from an emergency perspective.

I have 2 laptops and 3 desktops in the house and a laptop with me pretty much 24/7 if needed to do look ups.

Text Google and you can get just about any look up you need via text for free.



It's that hard to type 10 digits? LOL

I've used many Smart Phones always underwhelmed. Glad I'm not addicted to them.
So funny that there are people who would actually care a laptop instead of just getting a smart phone. laugh out loud

I was thinking the same thing. He carries around a LAPTOP 24/7 and he's bitching about an extra 1.3 ounces in difference for weight for a smartphone. LMAO LMAO


So OP... how much does your laptop + its case weigh?













How do people wind up this batshit crazy? There must have been drugs involved. Crazy
