Do You Really Need a Smart Phone?

Roblimo writes "My phone is as stupid as a phone can be, but you can drop it or get it wet and it will still work. My cellular cost per month is about $4, on average. I've had a cellular phone longer than most people, and I assure you that a smart phone would not improve my life one bit. You, too, might find that you are just as happy with a stupid phone as with a smart one. If nothing else, you'll save money by dumbing down your phone." I stuck with a dumb phone for a long time, but I admit to loving the versatility of my Android phone, for all its imperfections.

    Dumb geek filth fails at reading. Story right now and every single second on Slashdot.

    He merely suggested that some who have smart phones might be better off without one even if it's just saving some money.

    You should sue your elementary school for failing you.
