Smartphones: Worth it or no?

Can you justify an iPhone/Andriod/etc., or does a regular flip phone do the job just as well?

I have a 3-year-old flip, and it suits me pretty well. Might get something better tho.

Once you see all of the cool stuff you can do with them, there is no going back to a regular phone.judog1

if you have a laptop at home and you don't go out much, stick with your phone or upgrade to a new flip/cell.

I have a droid but all the features it has are awesome, but only if you're on the go a lot. Also, you'll want to get 3 chargers. They run out of juice if you're running multiple apps. I have the Droid Eris, but I've been waiting for the new gingerbread OS phones to drop on Verizon. I'm gonna be patient since I only had this phone for a year.

I think one would be useful, but I can't really justify spending enough money for several videogames a year on a phone plan.

Being able to update my Facebook status in class pretty much sealed the deal.

imo they are. I love my Captivate.

I don't know how I lived without my Blackberry 9700... it's just fantastic.

My HTC Desire is pretty much my electronic Swiss army knife.

imo they are. I love my Captivate.

Worth it and I say Android is the best OS, which is why I own one.

If you're comfortable doing some tweaks you can make the phone sooo much better.

Cool, thanks for the link!

i love the internet. and with a smartphone, the internet is always with me. but if you're doing fine with a regular flip phone, stick with it. cause you have a taste of this apple, there's no turning back.

I have a Samsung Vibrant and love it. I'm not that social, but it's cool to play with all the features/apps it has. You should probably get one; they are really cool.

I was supplised a Blackberry for work releated things, and I own an iPhone 4.

Neither get much use, but they're nice to have on the road.

There's no justification necessary, it's just a matter of preference. I use my phone for only texting/calling, and not even a lot then, so I don't mind not having a smartphone. Someone else who might make use of the other features would make use out of a smartphone.

Someone else who might make use of the other features would be better suited for a smartphone. For example, a lot of companies give their employees smartphones so they can use the various features for work related business.

I got the Iphone 4 over the past summer and I love the thing. It's like carrying your very own pocket computer. It's very handy to have with the GPS capabilities and the many apps you can download.

Definately worth it.

If you like going to the internet and looking up FB/twitter , Then is very worth it.

For me , I have the Moto droid , And i like to put Music into it, i have 237 songs on it (a ipod in my phone!) there no limit of what songs you want.

I also like changing my Ringtones and such , right now the Warcraft Lich king quotes when i get a email and get a txt message and a when ever i get a call it plays Bang install (from blazblue).

I also like Live wallpaper because it just makes your phone look cooler =).

I do miss my Chocolate however , it was pretty cool too :).
