Why Dumbphones Still Dominate, For Now
Velcroman1 writes "Androids are awesome, iPhones impressive ... but dumbphones still dominate. Of the 234 million cell phone users in America last year, a dominating 73 percent own traditional (aka non-smart) devices, according to market researcher comScore. Despite their more popular mindshare, intelligent devices like the Apple iPhone and phones based on Google's Android operating system own barely a quarter of the market."

To be charged. Please tell me that English isn't your first language.
And I wish he had thought as much about programming languages as he does about computers and phones.
For me it's not high IQ,
No shit sherlock
but "restraint" certainly has a lot to do with it. I don't see the need to spend ~$600/year for an internet-capable smartphone when my "dumb" phone can be had for $0.00 a year. (I only get billed when I use it - which is rare.)
Similarly I don't have cable TV. I used to when it was a decent price ($400/year) and Sci-Fi actually played sci-fi, but since the price skyrocketed to $900..... forget it. I put-up an antenna and now get 40+ channels for free.
Why don'y you SHUT UP freakin' troll? I'm tired of hearing about how CheapAss you are with your $0.00/month bills. If you're dso damn poor go get a job you ,lazy SOB!
I'm going to -1 mod you down so hard you'll never be able to post again.
FOX NEWS.com should be BANNED from television and internet. Have the Congress take it over and give us Truespeak.
