[quote="StormySeethe"]I use an iPhone and I love it to death. I use most features of it, but I'm not one of those people who's on it 24/7 or the annoying one texting when it's inappropriate. The annoying part is when people abuse the phone, not just because they have one.[/quote]
I'm exactly the same. I have the iPhone 4S and I love it. :)

I have an iPhone which I adore and use a lot, but it's not glued to my hand 24 hours a day. Sometimes I even go like 2 days without doing anything with it lol.

I lately got a BlackBerry from a friend of mine, lol. Only need to figure out how WiFi works, though, lol. XD
Both my brothers haves an iPhone and my dad a Samsung Galaxy or something. (He needs to ask my brother all the time how it works though)
I must agree, yes. Smartphones are really really useful. :3
But I just find it sometimes annoying that some people use it ALL THE TIME.
When you are in the middle of a chat and they go check their Facebook or whatever I'm like: Y U need to check Facebook right now? D: can't that wait later, uknow.

Before there were smartphones, people would check their phone all the time too while a person was out with another person, to see if they got any messages, it was just as bad and anti-social.
The only difference is now, that they are checking Facebook instead of their messages, lol.

I try not to do it.
I sometimes catch myself texting while talking to the person I'm with, and I don't seem to realize I'm multi-tasking like that :p

With me, I currently don't use a smartphone or iPhone like I am seeing many people nowadays using.

What do I use?
Good old-fashioned flip phones and I don't use Facebook or any social media, because I'd like to keep my social/personal life off the edge. I don't text, but I do use a good deal of data to view weather info fast most of the time, and sometimes to view MLK. Calls are here and there for me. But this kind of phone satisfies my personal needs. I use to own an old Blackberry phone a few years ago. But that's just about it.

My immediate family all have iPhones. I think they're okay for the most part because like DGF said, smartphones are useful. But the more technology advances, the more people will become dependent on it. They say technology is supposed to make our lives easier. But what about when it begins to become too much? (Which I fully believe is a major future possibility). I heard on TV that the best way to counteract this developing issue, is to just shutoff the service. But of course, realistically, I don't think that'd happen with peace.

Nowadays, I see younger people using their phones almost constantly! Most likely, text messaging their friends and such. But back in 2000, I remember seeing most people using their phones to do what they were made to do in the first place, and that would be, Call.

Almost 6 years of consistent driving, that's gotta be extremely dangerous.

Yeah but I always see people do stupid stuff when driving lol. Passed a guy who had a cup of tea in his hand a few weeks back... Yep, sipping a hot cup of tea whilst driving down a semi-busy road, I see no way that could end badly.

I have a smart phone (LG E510) lol

I love it to bits! Trust me, it can be extremely useful. Of course, I'm not glued to it LOL . I use it as much as I used any other phone before, maybe silently more (which's normal, more functions).

I have a dumb phone, which I use as a phone.

I have a laptop for everything else.
