like buy new ones and stuff, I don't like them, provided I have not experienced an iphone yet but from my android experience, I say its worthless. The supposed apps are as cheap as their total size of download and there is but only quantity and no quality there.

No I have one (Samsung Galaxy) but only use them for calls and texts anyway so I find them pretty pointless to me

I don't like sm.... sm..... uh.. phones a lot but they have their merits such as long range communication

edit: and safari for surfing the web, checking the degrees outside. In fact, modern phones have a lot of good features but I don't like them a lot. GPS is very handy as well. I do like it.

Meh. The map app and GPS are nice for when I'm on the road trying to find a place I've never been before, but I could really do without most of the connectivity. I'm thinking I'm going to go for a dumb phone this next time around.

Yes. It's an all-in-one phone with all the features that I could dream of. If I want to surf the web and call, I can do that. If I want to listen to music and read the news, I can do that too. I guess it depends on the person but for me, I like it for its features and usefulness despite some downsides such as battery life and crashes.

Nope, I have one and I'm not a fan. I liked my simple Nokia before it broke and I would have bought another one if I wasn't such a pushover when it comes to salesmen. They always manage to get me to buy their more expensive shit :P

Yeah. I'm not into the whole horsepower race thing, but I do like quite a few things about smartphones. Sharing pictures and all kinds of files through Google Drive/Dropbox/iCloud/Whatevercloudserviceyouuse is much more convenient than using a USB cable or even Bluetooth. IM services like iMessage, Whatsapp, LINE or Google Talk are much, much, MUCH more convenient, cheaper and faster than regular SMS. I also like to us a neat little app called Qloud to stream music from my PC to my phone whenever I'm home so I can use my phone as an mp3 player without actually having to store mp3s on it. 

Then there's the youtube app, which is cool if you want to lay down and watch some videos and the convinience of being able to browse teh Interwebs anywhere without having to use and computer, as well as e-mail on-the-go, maps, GPS and all that useful stuff.

I use mine for talk, text, and music once in a while.. but that's about. touch screen is good. Oh.. and some apps from Android pretty useful like fraction calculators I need. nothing else really.

I don't have a service-enabled smart phone anymore.  But I still carry it around to pick up on WiFi or just to dabble around on some games if I'm waiting for something.  When it did have service, I still didn't use it for much more.  I rarely talk on the phone and primarily text.  It was useful for directions or in case I needed to look up some sort of information for some reason.

I like the technology of smartphones. By the way, if only certain phones are smart then I wonder if the rest will get called dumb.

Researching what? :P

just like all of the technical aspects and such, comparing androids and. iphones to the smallest detail, watching presentations/conferences on cell phones, etc. just seems like a waste of time when 99% of apps are garbage anyway. i mean i can understand looking at different phones when you're planning on buying one, but most people have to 2 year contracts so...

They're cool. They can be very useful at times and can be a good way to kill time when you have really nothing to do. Don't care too much about the connecting with everyone and social sites crap though.
