I think you might be mistaking touchscreens for something like cancer or aids.

I like my gs3. I don't even fuck with my ipad anymore, and only use my computer for writing and making beats.
Smartphones despite they cocky ass name, are dope.

I agree, Max Weber had it right as technology progresses fewer and fewer people understand and control it. Also agree with William Gibson (great writer), robots r gonna kill us all my nigga...fuck smartphones.
Fuck the gay games these muh fuckas play on the subway platforms and on the train. Nigga, you going to college read a book. I even see businessmen and moms on that shit, very disgusted. It's either that or they buy this huge tablet just to play that game where u collect coins in an underwater maze while jumping gaps and shit? FUCK OUTTA HERE NIGGA (CAPS LOCK HIT UNINTENTIONALLY)

i hate my phone's touchscreen and auto correct. the lg optimus 4x hd is a decent phone though, looks good and i like android, i just wish i could get the latest firmware for it. atm adobe flash player isn't compatible with my firmware.
hellokitty did just touch on a bigger subject, probably thread worthy of it's own.. our brains are dying, the more processes technology takes away from our brain, the dumber we become. not to mention we are being stripped of our skill-sets, why would we grow crops when we can just buy them, why cook from scratch when you can just microwave a carton. there are less skilled workers now than there was 50 years ago, technology is taking over and we won't be smart enough to stop it one day.

i hate the look of the galaxy s2, the rounded corners send me under.. a few of my friends with the s2 want have tried to swap me. i went in to buy the new sony xperia and had these 2 and the lg infront of me.. i think the sony may look the best, the lg has the best spec and i like the look, it's simple.

Other then that, its all good.

real talk I like my galaxy for what it is...i like it much better then the Iphone (Im not an apple person, plus it seems that everything costs $$ with the iphone, while im never charged for my galaxy.) But sht does frustrate me, it freezes at times, or seems to overcomplicate what im trying to do.
However, I got this game called 'Punch Hero' and sht is G af...its takes up where Mike Tyson's punch out left off, some of the same characters and all...throwback af....i b killing my battery playin it...shts dope though. and highly addictive. Its the opiate of cell phone games imo. Highly recommended.

HTC ftw. Spotify, browser, games that isn't snake, lists, calendar and weather report on my ''desktop'', twitter, facebook, Viber (skype for the phone, helps to keep them damn bills down), alarm clock with different sounds so I actually wake up (I turn it off in my sleep so several alarms helps), is shit I use a lot. I used to be like OP, I didn't care for smartphones until a friend gave me his old HTC Desire as he bought a new one.
The only thing that sucks is that it needs to be recharged within 3 days or something and it's definately easier to break. My older phones could go for 5 days. My Nokia3310 that I had in middle school went through a lot. Everything from swimming with it to falling out of my pocket while skating. It survived everything.

ayo Objective what apps (names) do u use, or recommend?
anyone else want to add a suggestion ; feel free.
Split - what is ur twitter handle...hollA @ me - Th3_GBE
also the original Motorolla Razr used to make the coolest hollow clicking noise when it would open up, which was awesome to me in HS for some reason...and whoever said that they were practically indestructible was spot on imo.
so flip phones = +3

Rawn MacDon: Viber is decent and I've already talked about that. The apps I got on my phone worth to mention is;
Endomondo - Training app, but I've been lazy lately so I haven't had much use for it. Anyways.. You can specify it to whatever you are doing; Running, walking, skating, rowing etc. and it'll calculate how many calories you've burned and whatnot. It also got a friend thingy on it so you can share your progress on facebook or with your friends on Endomondo. It also got a GPS tracker so if you want to you can share your favourite routes with whoever you want or use the thing to find great running routes in your area.
You can also set goals for yourself or try to beat your personal best or your friends best on routes you've created. It's a pretty good motivator if you want to get back in shape etc.
Zedge - Decent for downloading ringtones, backgrounds and notification sounds.
ColorNote - Easy to use app that lets you write and edit notes. I use it when I'm writing my grocery shop list.
Flashlight - Uses the light thingy your camera uses to create a ''flashlight''. Comes in handy when you least expect it to.
Wordfeud - Because words with friends looks childish and sucks dick in comparison.
Gmail - I got a gmail account so I also got installed.
Opera-mini - My preferred internet browser on the phone. ^^

Gs3 is def top ten handsets period. I can only name about five that even compete. Most are other galaxies. Iphone is too small, good for chicks and kids or baby-handed men.

it was until the optimus g came out
plus the WizUI sucks dick
I hate them too and I refuse to get one. The whole gps thing on those phones genuinely makes me uneasy. Even when you take a picture on a smart phone gps coordinates are imbedded in the picture. Why does facebook need to know where I am or anyone else? Big Brother maybe? Fuck smart phones I miss them good ass flip phones forreal

Just turn off the GPS..

That makes too much sense so it couldn't possibly work lol. No I really just don't like them though. I use my phone to call people. Not to play games, listen to music, get on the internet, etc. A phone should be a phone....God damn I sound old...

Nah man, I feel you. I seriously do. I didn't like em first either and I had a lot of similar thoughts like you have now. I got my first smartphone like a year ago or something. I didn't care for them at all, but they do come in handy in a lot of situations. Allthough it eats up battery fast Google Maps is really helpful and they can be used as GPS's when you're driving as well. The different apps you got on it makes up for the price imo.
You do got a point about us getting older. Imagine saying the shit you did to a 12 year old, he'd just look at you strange. When we were 12 and cellphones were kinda new I remember my moms first reaction was; ''Nah, you can get one when you get older and the homephone works well!''. I guess that some of us is slowly moving towards how most of our parents looked upon technology back in the time.
And word @ whoever is saying that using them smartphones in social settings is fucked up. Unless everyone is playing a drinking game or whatever with eachother and intereacting like human beings, leave that shit for a couple hours you addicted freak. It's rude as fuck and I intentionally don't check or answer messages at times when I'm hanging out with people. Some of my closest friends do that shit and I'm not gonna bash on them, but I think it's fucked if it's excessive use when we're with a group of people that would prefer it if that person joined the convos abit more.
Lol I agree'd with everything you said. I even remember when carphones came out. Damn how times have changed.
