Is it just me, or does EVERYONE has a smartphone now?

I don't have one, and I don't really see how owning one would benefit me.

[QUOTE="3riForce"][QUOTE="XiaolinPrincess"]I would NEVER get a smartphone! The day I conform to society is the day I become genetically mutated by a snake.AmazonTreeBoa

[QUOTE="AmazonTreeBoa"][QUOTE="3riForce"] I don't really like the idea of conforming either, to be honest, but it is pretty tempting. I just keep telling myself its unnecessary, Also I would feel spoiled. 3riForce

Sometimes you have to ask yourself if refusing to do something that is popular really makes you cool or if it's just depriving yourself of something you may enjoy.

Also I don't have a smart phone, I have no one to text or call :/NiKva

Same here.

I basically just leave my phone in my apartment all the time and check it once a day.

I love my smartphone, it's great :D

No, but I almost feel like becoming one of the masses now, but those phones are overpriced with bad battery life.

I don't and don't play on getting one, still have my samsung flip phone (Classic 2006 model) still works like a charm so that's good enough for me :cool:

It's "cool." You know how that works... I have a smartphone but I actually know how to use it and I do use all of it's features.

I dont have any type of cell phone :(

I gots me a brick phone still, can't break them! Had it for about 10 years, I can phone people AND send texts! Yeah....

I'll get one once data service drops in price significantly. They'll be far more advanced a few years from now and yet much more mundane at the same time. I'll be glad I didn't overpay for a toy during this early phase.

these guys don't

Thats not the sole reason why I don't want to get one, I'm just saying that it feels bad to give up to the temptation.

Geez, you can't use the word "conform" in this board without offending someone, can you?

I don't have a phone at all, how about that? Smartphones are a great technology, though, acess to practically anything wherever you ave coverage. I remember when GPS was becoming big, and MP3 players, and e-readers, and a whole host of other things that all required you buy seperate accessories. Now you can have all that in one device, I'd buy one if I could afford it.

with the iPhone being the best phone out therefabz_95

There are a few Android phones that would like to have a word with you. I hear the new Droid blows the competition out of the water, not to mention you can buy cheaper things that function just as well depending on how you use them.

We can see from the poll who is evolving and who is remaining in a modern day stoned age. Hehehehe

i don't have one

Still can't afford one.

Smartphones can be purchased for the same price as a standard phone these days. So why not get more for your money?quikdash6

Data plans cost more money, and I couldn afford a regular phone.

I already spend too much time on the internet as it is, so I don't feel the need to be connected when I am out doing something different. So, no, I don't have a smartphone and I am very happy about it.

Used to have an iphone, it was very expensive to run. So I just went out and bought a cheap £20 Samsung phone; it makes calls/texts and I'm not pratting around on the internet anymore when I'm out...hurrah!

I have a borderline smartphone, and an itouch. I really would like to upgrade to an iphone, or something else better than the phone I've got, but with At&t's data rates...that probably won't be happening for a bit.

This poll illustrates the fact that Gamespot is different from the outside world:P On an internet forum filled w/ tech savvy users and people generally in the younger stages of their life I'd expect to see the yes total far higher.
