    ... because I am waiting for the next one to come out and when it does I will wait for the one after that.

    Tubby honest,I don't have any use for one,regardless of how vaunted they are.
    I have an n8 that's 7 years old-and it does all the things I need.
    It rings [always good in a telephone,that is] it texts,it take pics and makes videos. Sorted.

    People's obsession with technological gadgets, in particular phones, does very much reflect the moron culture we live in.

    My phone is a piece of shit, but it serves its purpose. Perhaps if I had the money to afford such things, I would upgrade, but I will probably keep the phone I have until it shits the bed.

    My phone is awesome, I can call and text and people can call and text me. It has a great flashlight and even the clock is always working well.

    I don't think I will ever buy an Apple product.

    I have the 4 or something, as my mom bought it for me one birthday and insisted I have it, as much as I screamed up my heals and protested. I never wanted an iPhone or cell phone.....but I have it, and got a notice I can upgrade for free to one that is supposed to take better photos and and be a little bigger and easier to read and do stuff...I don't know if that would be the 5 or 6 or what the hell we are up to on. I don't keep track, but will go check it out when I get around, I guess.

    Stll don't understand this one. I don't use it much.

    I don't.

    My brother had one with the Ap in it to take it outside and see what was in the sky at any given moment...stars, constellatons, etc.....and I was so mesmerized by that on his phone, so that is why my mom insisted in the first place, and yes, I do have that cool ap, too.
    It is called Star Walk, and it has cool space music with it.

    I also like the sound hound tap things, that you can tap on it to find out the name of any song and who it is by when something is playing one is not familiar with.

    Never bought an Apple thing. I'm not going to start at my age. I'm sure it is fantastic, but I'm used to other operating system.

    Smartphones, yes. I have tens of books into mine, as well as all the music I love and lots of apps to help me out with my many hobbies. On top of that, my work material is all in it. Thanks to it, I don't need to carry a bag full of heavy books to work anymore. Even my underwater photography now is done with my phone: no need to lurk a camera anymore. It also helps me communicate in other languages when I'm in places where languages are spoken which I don't speak. I also have enough Star Trek episodes there to last me many long flights. I use its torch every night. Etc.

    I can't wait until I get an I-4. It's $130 for a new one. Then $30 for the Otter, then $10 for a belt clip that won't break.

    I hope to have a little dough in 6 months or so.

    I want to get an LG G3 cos its got super duper quadruple double whammy display.

    Dont know why the hell you need 2,560 x 1,440 res on a 5 1/2" inch screen, but I want it


    As soon as Canonical get there act together and give us a proper ubuntu phone, I'm there and never going back, Android kind of sucks as much as Apple

    Actually, Galaxys are for idiots. I don't know why anyone would buy such corny phones, or even accept one for free.
