being anti smart phone is not snobbery. Snobbery is what the smartphone companies seek to instill in customers to make them feel validated as people for purchasing what is essentially a very expensive toy.
iPhone dickheads ripping on Droid dickheads and vice versa.
They need to have a different name. The "phone" feature on all these new ones is the least important feature for most people. They should be called something like "Pocket computer" or "mobile computer"
I am 40 years old. I remember giant car phones. I started University a year or so before the WWW came into being. I LOVE living in what is to me the future! These shits are straight star trek man! My only deal is that there are a whole herd of people under 20 who do not know how to walk down a street or cross a busy street without staring straight down at their phones. Working at a University, I must growl "Watch where you're going" at least twice a day to some fuck idiot who expects the universe to clear out of their path so they can stroll while burying their face in their stupid phone.
easy pickings this new generation. Easy to rob from, assault, kidnap, and carjack. They sit in their cars with open laptops, airbooks, ipads, iphones and $500 droid phones just waiting to get jacked, and many do.
No street sense.
