not something that does lots of things badly


Even sillier and more pig ignorant than you usually manage.


I watch TV on a 60in screen, not on a poxy phone.


Irrelevant to what can be handy at times when waiting around for something.

I use a Garmin Nuvicam for driving, a 3790T for city walking, a
550 with full OS maps for rambling and a Garmin Edge for cycling.


More fool you. It makes a hell of a lot more sense to have the
one smartphone that does that a hell of a lot better than those do.

I have a 160GB i-pod with 25000 tracks on it for music.


More fool you. It makes a hell of a lot more sense to have
all that on your smartphone. No advantage what so ever
of having a separate device just for that, it doesnt do that
any better and is in fact much worse in a number of ways.

I have a Citizen Eco-Drive Satellite Wave watch for the time.


More fool you. Makes a lot more sense to use the smartphone for that.

I have an Acer Aspire S7 for emails/internet.


More fool you. It makes a hell of a lot more sense
to have that available on your smartphone as well.

I have an Icom IC-R20, JRC NRD 525 and Grundig Satellit 800 for radio.


More fool you. I makes a hell of a lot more
sense to use the smartphone for most of that.

I have a Motorola cordless landline
for phone calls that never drops out.


My smartphone never drops out.

Correct tools for the job.

And you have nothing to use when the **** hits the fan
and you need to call someone when not at home.
