I think people who don't use smartphones are very much aware of what they are "missing" and they could really care less about it. Some really don't need the internet and apps.

'"no, I don't need all that!" and to that I say jealousy makes your head constipated."

How can that be jealousy? You're projecting and you're the one who sounds constipated. Shame, really.

- I have seen a friend checking his emails on his i-phone while watching a movie in the theater
- Another friend checks his email while waiting on a traffic light.
- I always find my boss checking his email on his blackberry when I or anybody else is talking to him (how rude is he?)

Give me a break! I Do-not. Want. A. Smart Phone.

I need a break from a computer. I want to stay away from emails for a while. I have the patience to go home, take a shower, open my laptop and then check my emails or my friends facebook updates.

I want to attend to the people who are around me and my real surroundings!

I may be limiting my tech horizons a bit, but when I use the internet, I want ‘the real internet’ and not the one shrunk down into a screen that’s slightly larger than a baseball card. Using the internet through a small digital brick just doesn’t have the same appeal to me as enjoying a blog or a video on a viewable screen, connected with a 7/8ths to fullsize keyboard so I can type out a response to it. For what most people like about their smartphones, I think a netbook would be a much better fit for me.

So I don’t think I’ll go the smartphone route unless I’ve given one for business use. For personal use, a ‘dumbphone’ with some non-subscription frills (MP3 playability, FM radio, built in games, etc.) is what I’d rather have. The only ‘smart’ device I might spring for is the Peek Pronto email device.

Would love one, but I spend less than ten bucks a month for pay-as-you-go cell service right now. Since I have an iPod Touch, I already have most of the application functionality I’d get from an iPhone. Right now it’s not worth an additional $60+/month for me to bridge the gap.

I have used iPhones but don’t own one. I don’t really like the smartphone form factor: screen is too small, keyboard too hard to type on. Ok for simple stuff, but the more powerful the phone, the more inconvenient the form factor. And it’s also bigger than you need to simply make a call. I think the smartphones will evolve into larger tablets, and phones will shrink again and become accessories to the tablets, at least that makes sense to me.
