Smart phone or basic phone?

[sseelhoff]

Smart phones are like any other tool. I need mine for work. I am sure everyone here has tools they use everyday that would be unnecessary to me.

SURE! Great! Waste time on a tutorial. In a year that information will be a waste of time.

I have this stupid interface that connects my retarded apple phone to my old GMC on star system.

Getting tired of screaming profanities at it, I finally gave in to its retardedness. When I ask for a party it asks for "Foam" or mobile. Only asking for "foam" will prevent a call to mobile. GREAT #$#%# technology!

Need or make the job easier?...
Other than making smart phones, selling or repairing smart phones what jobs didn't exist before there were smart phones?...

That feature does leave room for improvement. But you have the option to disable Siri and I leave mine on so...

Easier, but it's possible to deliver firewood without a dump truck and dig a footer without a backhoe. I'll keep all 3 tools.

I'm curious how a "REAL" working man with working hands is supposed to operate such a fruity device. More for ET if you ask me. Just been trying to operate the fruity remote for my apple tv. Same garbage! I would prefer something like a bridge crane pendent! BIG buttons with English labels, not icons! I thought these apple devices were supposed to be intuitive. How are unknown icons intuitive?

IT... you are making me chuckle. First of all, I hope you aren't implying that REAL men have to have big fat fingers. Second, I am wondering if you feel operator error is in the mix? . Just got done watching a compilation of video here on TBN on how not to tow. I am sure you would agree it wasn't the machine at fault in any case. :laughing:

Lastly, got to love the irony of your online initials, I.T. There are huge departments named that to deal with what you don't want to. :drink:

Need. I could not function in my job without it in this day and age. We are paperless. I have access to files via phone and tablet. And email and text when I am out of office, which is frequently.

I've read this post 12 times and I can't stop laughing.

People are needed to create the applications for smartphones, so "smartphone application designers/programmers"?

In March 2017, "Android users were able to choose between 2.8 million apps. Apple's App Store remained the second-largest app store with 2.2 million available apps."

Flashlight, compass, map, calculator, unit converter, news source, alarm clock, camera, phone book, dictionary, encyclopedia, weather/radar, banking, and oh yeah TBN!

Plus a hundred more... I can't imagine going back to a flip phone. I may be an old curmudgeon, but when it comes to technology, I try to stay pretty close to the cutting if not the bleeding edge. I have had my Motorola now for nearly 4 years. It is still working strong. Couldn't get along without it. The ability to have hundreds of PDF documents at your fingertips is worth the price of admission. And if it died tomorrow, I would go get its successor. No flip phones for me, thank you.
