Smartphones also come with a big fucking price and seem to get outdated very quickly. My phone cost me $15 and I have no monthly contract and pay when I want, usually $25 every 2-3 months. I looked into it and for the same service, it's $40 a month with a contract. Stack data costs on top of that and a locked 2-year contract for a smartphone and you're just bending over for the system. Meanwhile, my laptop costs pennies to run, has GPS and I get free WiFi at various spots in town. Not to mention a huge screen and full-size keyboard.

To each their own.

So true. My first mobile phone was a Siemens A50. Lovely ergonomics, it was much more hand-fitting than most modern smartphones. Though and nicely built aswell. My 2009 crappy nokia 62xx series instead it's quite buggy and it's just not decently built at all.

Make sure your smartphone's camera has a flash. It sucks when you're trying to pack your bong in the woods cuz you live in the dorms and you can't just turn on your flash for lighting.

if you are breaking phones you are doing it wrong. Most plans also have insurance for $5 a month.  A smart phone is just another form of convenience.
nah, i use a 40$ phone.... has fallen out of my pocket at work on the concrete floor more times than i can count... now if i dropped one of those 500 phones once or twice, i would be lucky if the only thing fucked up was the calibration.

my flip phone has flashlight, pretty badass in situations like that.

Smart phone pricing is tricky. I have mine for 50 a month for 700minutes and 4gigs data and unlimited text and I got the phone for 100, the phone people are like car salesmen you can talk with them and work deals. If you own your own business try adding it as a line and so on. Theses monkeys work off of commission so put it to them

Good thing I know more about phones than cars. I can lie to them and they'll believe me.

I have been thinking about getting one of those "cheap" choises like Nokia Lumia 710 or Samsung Omnia W (or some Android phone), but I don't like the low battery life pretty much all smartphones have. That's pretty much the only reason with the price of course, why I haven't got one yet.

Checking my emails and browsing some sites occationally would be nice, but I guess it's not really necessary until I keep getting work projects regularly (which hopefully happens some day...).

u dont need an expensive phone for the internet/emails even ur $50 nokia will do that.
That's true, but those really cheap phones don't have wlan, which sucks. I rather use my old phone until I can buy something little better than buy another crappy phone with weak performance and extensibility. My current Nokia (3110 classic) has served me about 3-4 years now and I guess it will be just enough for a year or two more.

How often do you people buy a new phone? I got my third phone going in 13 years so I can't say I follow the trends that much. I think this whole smartphone business has changed a bit the customer habbits. People buy a new phone more often to get some new applications and games running.

So true, so true. I see a lot of that doing computer work in the rural country... it's funny sometimes.
