It reminds of when ipods were starting to become popular. One of my profs did a survey during lecture of who had a smartphone - about 90% of hands went up.

Smartphones are getting cheaper and more user friendly. It's pretty obvious really why they've become so popular.

Also forgot to mention that I'm still using my old Nokia X3. Flick to unlock FTW :cool:

I don't have one and I have no plan of getting one in the future. When I leave home I prefer to go without a connection to the electronic world.

I don't. Why pay the money for the data plan that I won't get much use of?

I really don't like smartphones that much, because of their size. I bought a Nokia 8800 a year ago and i'm completely satisfied, not changing it.

I got my Galaxy S II this year. One reason is because my contract expired and the second is that I like having a camera around and with the latest hand sets the quality of the pictures are only getting better. Having a phone, camera and MP3 player all in one device that works is beautiful.

I don't have one now. I did have one before, but it was just just before Android when HTC just came out. It frustrated me a lot. It's a lot better now, so I might go get one one of these days.

They are relatively cheap and do more than a standard mobile phone, go figure.

They're cheaper, so more people are getting them. It's no different than when you think about 15 years ago when cell phones were the size of bricks and cost over a dollar a minute to use only rich people had them but today even people on welfare or are otherwise not making that much money have them.

I have one and I love it. I have the HTC Evo 3D. It is nice being able to watch 3D content like movies and games. I do every on mine. Watch movies, listen to music, surf the web, check email, text, talk, play games, video chat, run all types of different apps. My phone is even a police scanner. It is my camera and my HD video recorder.

I'm surprised that hasn't broken yet. I have a Samsung Blackjack 2 which I believe is considered a smartphone.

Yeah I do, why wouldn't you? If you have a family plan they're not that expensive. I still have unlimited data plan on iphone 3g, so I sometimes put the simcard into my laptop which i put a usim socket into a free pci express slot, and routed a spare antenna and a sierra mc8781, for 3g on the go.

Gah. Seriously hate that there are mandatory data plans. I live on a campus with insanely fast wifi so i cannot justify the data plan costs at all. Hate it.

I have a smartphone that isn't smart I guess, I have a second hand blackberry. I only use it for texting and calling, I basically got it because I liked the keyboard and it didn't have a touchscreen :P

*blinks* wow, the idea of not owning a cell phone in today's world is fairly inconceivable to me. Maybe that's just because I don't have a land line anymore.

Again, no need for one. I purchased a cell phone a year or two ago, and never used it.

Hell, I barely use my regular landline.

Oh, and Google Voice is your friend.

I don't really like the idea of conforming either, to be honest, but it is pretty tempting. I just keep telling myself its unnecessary, Also I would feel spoiled.

How is it conforming to society just because you bought something you wanted?
