They are incredible, a few years ago I couldn't imagine that someday we could have a pocket PC with these characteristics, for a ridiculous price

From this (2005)

It's even more ridiculous when you think of a 1990 Motorola cell phone:



(I know you're talking about smart phones specifically but still it's insane)

I never really liked phones much in the first place and held out getting a cell phone till pretty much the bitter end when I was told that if I didn't have one, I wouldn't be working near as much as 'that's how it is for everyone now.'  That was 2002.  I hated it, still hate it.  I've had mine now since 2005 and all it does it take phone calls.  No nuttin' else.  I know that sooner or later I'm going to have to get one of the smartphones because 'that's how it is for everyone now' - but I won't like it.

Hell I hate laptops really.

Once upon a time backstage at a rock concert was one of the most exciting places in the world.  Now, they all get off the bus and get on line and basically are about as exciting to be around as dead librarians. 

How come with all this access to information and everything people don't seem any smarter?

Hahahah 

Yes, someone else who doesn't like them. I hate cell phones despite how impressed I am with how advanced they've become. I got my first cell phone as a graduation present in 2005 and only had it for a little while until it broke, which wasn't that long.

I haven't had one a year or so and people always nag me about it. I hate when I am out with someone and all they do is mumble 'nuhh' to everything I say because they're not listening at all. They just have their phone to their nose texting away. Why even bother hanging out with me then?
