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 wouldnl't watch a movie on a phone while hanging around waiting for something.
If I watch a film I prefer to sit down and watch it when I have the time allocated that's what the majoroty of noram people do.

Although sometimes when I'm ****ed off in teh morning waiting for a bus I think to myself why don't I watch a season of game of thrones while I'm waiting.

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 don;t use either so I don't know. But I'd prefer someone to check directions on a dedicted system because obviously I;d be watcvhing something on teh smartphone sop wouldn;t want to be interupted just because some idiot couldn't use a map.




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 it doesn't and not all smartphone have 160GB for music.

No advantage what so ever

every advantage.

of having a separate device just for that,
How can you navigate on a device, listen to music and watch a film at the same time ? or perhaps play a game which I'd be more likely to do on a smartphone than watch a movie.

it doesnt do that
any better and is in fact much worse in a number of ways.

seperate items are usually better but you have to care about what your doing.

This is why they still have cinemas like the imax because not everyone thibnk a smartphone is the best chopice for watching movies or much eles realyl oyher than perhaps instgram.



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.

No it doesn't because smartp[hones usually sit in a pocket and will need taking out and activating to view.


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.

As well but tehre's plenty of things that are better done on a computer than a smartphone but only if your sense of doing things goes beyond consuming and playing candy crush.


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.

but can't do much of it on a smartphone.


Correct tools for the job.

Even sillier than you usually manage.

Would you say sex is better on a smartphone too ?
