Not trying to say you are wrong, but you are not always at home either. I have a laptop too, but I find it cumbersome to haul around a 16" screen Hp. My 4.3" Motorola does such a fine job.

It makes me feel sad for IT techs. :D

Ditto. People need to focus on their inner source of happiness instead of trying to find it in these over-hyped diversions.

I heard that walking while texting will soon be illegal. :)

Pretty ironic statement on a Mercedes-Benz ownership forum. ;)

LOL. Its all good. I tease my kids about their dependence on portable devices for all their socializing. Their phones were intended for emergency use only, but they somehow keep sneaking in the upgrades. My son once had to go without his for about a week, during which time he said he felt remarkably 'free'. I told him thats how people used to live.

Well, I spend most of my time away from home, and I am frequently working in facilities that will not give me internet access (security issues). I use both an iphone and an ipad constantly for mail and internet access. I also use a tethered laptop on a regular basis. All this stuff is relatively cheap, and not having connectivity is unacceptable.

My friends use their Iphones for facebook and fooling around. I can't justify spending $100+ a month on one, plus $700 for the phone to fool around online while I'm away from my desk. For what my friend spends on his Iphone and plan every year he could lease a car.

I'll keep my flip phone.

Dude, you don't have to buy the diamond encrusted, rich Corinthian leather trimmed model . . . :D

There are also reasonable data plans for the less text addicted.

LOL, I could rent a house for my monthly data cost; about $300 at home plus another $3-400 for all my mobile stuff. Cost of doing business, plus toys for the kids.

Not when I priced a plan out. I'm paying $51 a month for the most basic Verizon plan with texting.

My friend gets a deal through his company but he is still paying $25 more than that for his Blackberry.

Last I checked unlimeted everything from Verizon is about $100 a month.

Think of It A an Investment, Of Sorts

Presumably iPhone users are better at getting their kicks in real life. But the chart still leaves the greatest question of our time unanswered, “Do attractive people buy more iPhones, or does the iPhone somehow make you more attractive?”

I have a 3GS. I don't see a point in paying $300 for facechat or whatever crap that is?

I'd rather spend that $300 towards the new Sony NEX-5 Camera :)

Atta boy.

Already, women find me more attractive...

Maybe I should have read that before giving my daughter an iPhone?
