My phone is smarter than I am and I am perfectly ok with it.

Phones and tablets are neato burrito
some people have phones and tablets that have
and some have ones that have 
but they are all what we could call "smart" phones or tablets. Not smart tablets. Ostensibly, tablets are dumb.
Apple came out with a new iPad and we all play fun little phone games and talk about how @Big Red Tie has wretched opinions and how apple is objectively better than everything else
I have a hard time believing we hit 100 pages but yeah I love technology so that's what we should talk about now thanks

Follow me on Twitter??
Steam
we don't like your kind around here
(aka I work in their Foxconn plant)

Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
A flip phone? Fuck that new shit off, let's get some fucking indie cred in here:
I impulse bought one on Friday, I just walked up to he store and asked for one and they hooked me up.
The only downside to this is that you will have to see people.
Satans..... hints.....
not sure what to do with myself
That was your old phone. Your new phone is this:
It can't do anything but I never use it to do anything but calls so, I guess that worked out okay really
I have had a nook tablet since the beginning of the month, so I'm on that bandwagon now I guess.
I flashed ICS onto it (Andromadus ROM) and it feels like a whole new phone.
look at this old man with his senior citizen phone
does it come with a prune juice app gramps
12 hours to charge, and then it goes from 100 to 0 in 90 minutes? Yeah, sure, send that one out, it's good.
I had to fight to return it and get a new one.
also since it's cheap I don't have to worry about dropping it and so I haven't even looked at getting a case, so it's nice and thin in my pocket
when they tell me that I have to change my login passcode and I can't use the one I've been using for months because it "has to be different for security reasons" and won't even let me change it, and then change it back
BUT
I can just disable the motherfucker completely
how is that more secure apple
tell me how it is more secure
than putting the passcode I want on the phone I paid for, you retards
microsoftian in nature
we also talk about other random shit and clown upon each other
It has a few little problems. Like the wifi wont turn on after the phone has been on for a while.
But it's really quite cool otherwise.
I can play an MMO on it, this tickles me.
Yeah, well when Android becomes a unified platform (won't ever happen) then I'll consider it. I can't see Android holding market share long term. Microsoft has been slow to do much in the market, but I honestly believe that Windows phones are poised to make big gains in the market over the next couple of years because they've managed to avoid the mess of different versions from one phone to the next that Android has become while allowing more flexibility than iPhone. I don't have any illusions about iPhone continuing to be very popular. Different people have different needs and for many, the iPhone scratches the itch they have and should continue to do so for the foreseeable future. It just doesn't scratch my itches.
A) not giving a fuck what the other guy has
and
If I was ambitious I'd flash a bunch of shit and actually get the straight-from-google updates but I'm too lazy and AOKP is fucking great until CM9 drops
Speaking of which the new AOKP milestone is out and I need to summon up some energy to backup my apps and flash it
I think Microsoft loses out on a lot of the buzz and hype created by the tech blogs and media because the old Windows Mobile phone offerings were always so lackluster. Windows Phone is actually a pretty compelling platform, but a lot of people won't give it the time of day because they've been soured by Windows Mobile 5/6 era devices.
MS does need to push their partners to up their hardware launch cycles, Android is able to command a lot of attention because there's always a new phone coming out with slightly better specs than the last phone - and if you're not using an iPhone, people suddenly become very conscious of the spec list. Older hardware is a hard sell, and if the Windows Phone hardware is several months behind the latest Android the products just don't remain viable on the market for very long.
"Well this one is the Gnex but it doesn't have an SD slot but this one has an SD slot but Sense and no guarantee of ICS"
Turns out the right answer is always Buy A Nexus
i can probably take my incredible another year if i have to, it's still pretty capable
gettin' some bad gadget envy though

The problem you, as a consumer, may not give a fuck about the disparity between OS versions, but developers are stuck having to try to make good apps that will work on so many devices, and then continue to support and update for those same devices, and new ones. That's a tremendous amount of overhead for a developer, especially the small one or two-man shops.
Without high-quality, widely available and desirable apps, the platform won't grow/develop customer loyalty.
Oh so you still use Blackberry too?
By then it was a bit battered so my buddy who had got a new phone gave me his old one and I just swapped the sim card
My current phone is some kind of samsung touch screen thing which is pretty cool, I guess
though really I would have been fine with keeping the old one if it had not been on staggering a bit
But thems the breaks! I'm still happy with my phone.
Our tech admin keeps taunting us by giving new people iPhones while keeping the rest of us on this sinking ship of a platform.
No, sorry I can't recover the 200+ contacts that you didn't have saved anywhere else after I upgraded your phone.
Not that I can afford a smartphone regardless.
