So what phone does everyone use?

I have to throw my cards in with the why bother crowd. When I needed one it was either provided by my employer or I used a cheap pay as you go phone (like the phones from Virgin Mobile).
But frankly, I don't like being available at all times or being a slave to my phone. And texting? Far too torturous on my finger. Smartphone functions? A phone's display is too small. I might consider a 7" tablet, but a phone display? My eyesight isn't that good.
And I'm sure there are mobile phones with as high a resolution as my digital camera, but I doubt they have optical zoom.
I'll leave these easily lost or destroyed toys to those of you who favor them.

Yeah, and I bet all those grapes up there are sour, too.

Awesome.  It's always so nice to see the amigoid crowd chime in about how they don't need this newfangled that or the other - and then justify it with (uninformed) comments about the functionality.

I remember when using an Amiga meant having a computer that was cutting edge, ultra high-tech and ran rings around the rest.  Now, if this thread was anything to go by, the sad remainders of the userbase are a bunch of bitter old Luddites who'd prefer the tech world be a more frustrating, slower and harder to use place.

And for the record I have a Samsung Intercept as my sole phone, bill ranges anywhere from $25-$60, depending on what I want to pay Virgin Mobile on any given month.  No contracts, and if it comes down to it I can tether it to my PC and use it as my broadband connection, cutting the $50 Sprint wireless 4g bill out of the budget.

As for the rest?  There's a guy with an Imsai 8080 and paper tape reader who thinks you're all a bunch of effete snobs.
