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?

The rear hatch of my X5 has a 65" LED monitor which is a drag to use on subways.

I thought smart phones were the norm these days. So no it doesn't. I love it and love the data plan and wouldn't want to go back to the old kind.

Is very convenient to be able to look up anything, anytime. Plus it is good for entertainment.

How is a small sceen "good" for entertainment?

Why do you need to look up 24/7?

4 or 5 inches i think. I'd say it's worth it. Consider this. I pay for cable at home, but having a job keeps me away a considerable amount of time. My smartphone allows me to watch the stuff I would be watching on TV at home using my internet/cable. So while it costs me 264 a year for the data to stream these movies/programs, I am doubling the value of my internet/cable at home by sending it to my smart phone.

wrong question. right question: Is no screen good for entertainment? Answer: no. Something > Nothing
