There’s no shortage of FReepers who find the idea of smart phones confounding, too. Sad, really.
Mine rings about twice a week.
Thats the way I like it.
I can understand people looking at their phones to kill time. But its becoming ridiculous. People have their face stuck in their phones every waking minute. NEVER looking up. Its ridiculous.
I don't get this reverse snobbery about smart phones. They are an INCREDIBLE device. I mean right in your pocket you have a phone, a radio, an MP3 player, a camera both still and video, mapping, photo gallery, video player, calendar, calculator, web connection, and the list goes on and on and on...
Dummie Funnies my a**.
I know NOTHING about Smartphones and will never learn. Ever.Too old to care.
I find nothing humorous in lack of technical knowledge.

Until recently, I haven’t been to the mall in 15 years. My wife goes to the mall, I go to the woods or fishing.
Well I was dragged to the mall last week. The people and their phones are the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. All I saw was the tops of people’s heads.... looking down... tapping on that blame phone.
Then they go home and guess what they do?
They sit in a dark room and tap on that phone. hour after hour after hour.
ANY DU activity about the OCCU-PUSSY that scooted into the pipeline on his skateboard (OK, that screams “Mom’s Basement!) in “Mittengan-my-Mittengan” (Michigan) to protest...wait for it...
Big OIL !?!?
Seems brutha-caint-get-a-job; because no Oil Company is hiring a guy who concentrated in women’s studies while NOT moving toward his own trans-gendered status.
I pretty much like to be left alone unless someone has something important or interesting to say. Friends and family are different but strangers calling me trying to sell something really piss me off.
“While at a meeting Wednesday night I watched as people were looking up info during a heated discussion.”
I attend a lot of meetings and many of them are heated discussions! However, I have never seen anyone using a smart phone to look up information in those meetings! This just shows you that this DUmmie’s meeting was very likely an argument at the local bar, or some discussion with his fellow DUmmies and they were arguing about which republican was the most evil! They probably settled on JFK....
“One big thing I use my new Smart Phone for is listening to radio stations from around the country. iHeartRadio.Com.”
I’d also recommend downloading Mark Levin’s app, then you can hear his podcasts anytime and anywhere!
I may have stole this line from someone;
but when people ask me why I never answer my phone, I tell them I bought this phone for my convenience, not everyone else’s.
I never did but I'm still stuck with the damned phone. Everyone I know has been through several phones since I got the Nokia, it's bulletproof, I can't kill it.
I don’t and won’t use a “smartphone”. Not worth the expense, at least to me. If I get one, my wife will want one, and it means double the phone bill, at least. I can’t believe the bills my coworkers have for phone usage, it’s worse than old ma bell. We don’t have a home phone, either, I’ve been cell only since 1999.
