Damn smart phones

[the chi]

I use mine constantly...very little for communicating and more for info at a moments need. I use the maps constantly to find things, check out distance, etc. I use the internet all the time to search for whatever I need to know at that moment. For example, moving last week I needed to find out what the size of the new washer and dryer I had ordered to make sure they'd fit, no internet bc the service guy hadnt gotten there yet, pulled it up on my phone and within seconds had everything I needed to know. Or when looking for a new laptop for the hubby, I was able to go online, and search several different websites to peruse the reviews on the model we were interested in while the sales guy who new NOTHING about it other than it plugged into a wall and had wifi capability tried to explain the features. I like to price shop too, standing in one store and seeing if I can find it cheaper elsewhere before spending the cash. I play solitaire every night before bed to make my mind stop spinning and relax.

Voice and swype are pretty close. I put a smart phone and a tablet to sturgis. I had no internet connection.... cured me pretty quickly of my smartphone addiction. It was absolutely liberating.
