ON TOP of the phone itself ? I don't think so.

What is it? Social status? My friend has one so I NEED one?

I'll take my dumb phone and laptop any day.

A summary from last time:

Quote from Maleficent :
I think you're just so intent on going against the grain (even though it's illogical, cumbersome, less convenient, and provides no actual benefit to you) so you can delude yourself into feeling "unique" and "special."

In fact, you're so hellbent on going against anything with any sort of mass popularity so you can be "different" that you actually make yourself believe that the crap you have is somehow "better."

And the funniest part about that is that it makes you so angry, you have to lash out at anyone that uses the devices that you hate so much. Which in turn makes you look like a complete idiot to everyone else because of your gigantic delusions, and then you become a social pariah.

Well... bravo, buddy. You certainly set yourself apart from the crowd. Thumbup

That's the problem. He isn't using his mind. He is getting all of his information out of some old Popular Mechanics magazines from the 1980's

It's like google maps in book form, but less useful and immediately obsolete.

Nope. But his cell phone came from the same era.

Waste of money plus the privacy concerns.

Why would I want a big phone I can't fit in a pocket? Just to look at a small 4" screen?
