I think I'm the only one without an iPhone

Today, one of my friends asked me why I didn't have a iphone (or android phone), and they thought it was really weird that I said I don't need one since I'm on the internet so much anyway. Everywhere you look now, people are glued to their phone, checking emails, going on facebook and twitter, playing games, texting etc. It feels kinda weird to not have one. There's definitely some pressure to get one, just to fit in. People look at me weird whenever I tell them I don't have one, or if I pull out my phone from 2008. You see people get them for their kids all the time; you also see people that can barely afford to pay rent each month keep theirs. For some reason I feel like I should get one, to not be the weird kid without a smartphone, yet I don't really need it...

well, Idk why I posted this blog. Just something I wanted to talk about. Anyone have a similar experience? Are smartphones really that great? post away.

Nope, I don't have smartphones, and I don't need it.
Laptop+Desktop setup nice enough for me

(I only have an itouch for listening to music)

My phone has an internet browser, but no apps or shit like that (its an ok phone), I don't wanna spend all my time browsing and doing stuff on a 4 inch screen, rather use laptop. Also why would you get an iPhone because everyone else has one?? Dat some high school logic brah.

I like to fiddle with the features and modding abilities of smartphones but I got a HD7 WP.... for free.

Well that's not the point, why the hell does it matter that they have nicer phones? You are probably the only one who thinks you are weird for not having a smartphone.

I don't have a smart phone either.

College graduate, somewhat tech savvy, have other nice things, etc.

Just never wanted one.

If you don't need it don't get it. It's stupid to buy an expensive phone just to fit in.

ooo good call
I predict that it will become trendy for middle class kids to use old cellphones within the next..mm, 5 years

OP, I hate cellphones. People that use them constantly are vapid creatures.

I'm in a super rich area, at times I feel the same way.

Ultimately, although they are convenient I don't see them to be worth the price, and most of the people that have them, like most of the people in high school, are vapid.

I have an android phone, but my plan doesn't include data or anything, so it's mostly just a fancy normal cellphone that doesn't cost anything extra (it was 0$ with a plan)

Two Words:
Angry Birds

That game alone makes my iphone great.

Beyond that though, I wouldn't even own a cell phone if it wasn't for my wife.

No iphone/android. No texting. No itouch. I don't need any of that fancy stuff; I get by just fine without them. Arguably, I get by better without them since I actually, you know, pay attention in class instead of playing games. I can understand the need for texting, but smart phones are a dumb investment imo. Kind of like how vitamin water isn't healthy.
