The phone poll

A General Discussion forum for cars and other topics, and a great place to introduce yourself if you are new to NICO!

What kind of phone do you have?

I'm hip and with it. I have a space phone.

I'm function over form baby! I like my phone to have buttons just like my dash board. Flip phones for life! I can use it without even LOOKING at it!

I'm hardcore as all hell. Straight rotary son. When I dial people, I SEE SPARKS!

I'm too young to own any sort of phone and/or I am a hobo. Can and string is the best I can muster.

No, I mean I don't like it unless I can use all my fingers, I've done the 2 thumb thing and it's just as annoying as a touch screen to me. I fat-finger s*** all the time.

12 bigass keys seems perfect to me. It's like we peaked back in 2003.

Actually, I remember typing a lot faster with T9 too. Fewer buttons to fiddle with, less concentration necessary.

She's probably busy selling HJs for Capri Suns.

That was the last time I enjoyed a QWERTY keyboard. I just hated how crashy the BBOS was.

Weird, I've had a Nexus since about a month after its initial release and never had a problem with it. It is a little power hungry, but that's my only real complaint.

The main thing for me with smartphones isn't what they let you do, it's what devices they let you combine. I don't have to carry a point and shoot digicam, an mp3 player, a GPS and a phone...I just carry a phone.

I agree that is indeed handy. Fortunately (as you can see by the poll results), damn near everyone has it, so in the event I need to use something like that, I just mooch. It usually happens about once every 2 months.
