Granted, I had low expectations for my phone so everything it does pleasantly surprises me.

One cool thing is that you can easily port music to it and most cars now have cables that connect to external devices so you can easily use your phone to play music on long car trips. I know my gf just loves when I play such smash hits.

Also, how do you run a business without email? O_o

Do you legit conduct business with social media sites? No wonder you've been sounding so jaded lately...

We are just all old codgers. I think it comes from the fact that because we've been around tech for quite awhile we aren't seeing anything new or groundbreaking. Its all the same stuff repackaged in a different form. It isn't new, isn't revolutionary and definitely isn't going to further us along. IMO mobile has stagnated us while we concentrate on making a mobile device do what a PC already can while also removing attention from the one platform that can launch us into the future.

I just bought a smartphone and I have to say I'm not impressed. Sure it does this or that and blah blah blah but in the end its just an over hyped phone. It calls people and they call me on it. I will never look at it any different than that. Perhaps I'm showing my age or perhaps I'm frustrated with the stagnation that has entered into tech.

And touchscreens. Yeah those are smart. Stupid things are so imprecise, buttons are too small for my fingers and the UI for the keyboards is simply awful. The worst UI design ever purported upon a consumer. Good designs make complex things simple not the other way around.

And yeah the last thing I want anyone doing at my desk is touching my screen. Hands off. Use the keyboard and mouse please.
