Oh, well, I'll just stick to dumbphones, don't even need an SMS function, I literally only use it to call... or more often to recieve calls because people keep bugging me all the time.
As for design, last time I borrowed an iPhone from a friend, I got the sensation that it was the most uncomfortable phone to hold next to your ear and it's shape (a brick) did not make it more comfortable to hold the phone while talking to someone.

the biggest problem is their high end smart phones arent in us user hands, other then that they price their nice smart phones just like the other companies but without me getting 400 dollars off for a contract = nobody buying a 600$ phone.
But yea them not making their os really good really fast or jumping boat on it is one of the things thats killing them

I've not bothered with a smartphone. I have a phone that cost me £40 new and it still makes phone calls and texts, which is oddly enough what I want from a phone. I must admit though, that internet when out and about is pretty nifty particularly when travelling, but I'd be much more inclined to spend £200 on a cheap notebook than fork over £600 or £40/month for a overpriced phone that needs charging each day.

Yes you do have a point about the prices. Personally netbooks are silly. Tablets are overpriced. And Notebooks/laptops are good but not as good as smart phones or tablets on the go.

I do hope they sort their smart phones out (Nokia) and with a Windows OS it's enough to destroy all the players in the mobile game. They have potential. But I have been waiting for a long time for Nokia to sort themselves out. I hope they keep it simple and old school like with 3310s and 6210s...but then keep it smart(phone) aswell. In the meantime though once you go touch, keypads just become pointless and clumsy.
Smart phones do have their fun tbh, it's not the be all and end all. I remember having a cheap £10 phone for a year before I went a year with my iphone 4. I liked both. Simple is simple and easy and basic. Iphone is fast, whizzing, soo much information at your tips and yes touch makes it much more easier and quicker to use more faster then a qwerty keypad or a 12 digit keypad, though dialing a number on a 12 digit keypad will probably be the fastest i think do to its simple menu functions etc
but yeah both are good. simple phone = simple life. Which i like.

it doesn't cut it, you`d still see fingerprints, scratches are even more visible!
you`d have to replace the protector once a week, bad.

There's about ...5-7 different types of screen protectors. Each with their own quality.
The one I've got is perfect. no fingerprints (I just checked to make sure) and you don't notice it.
I've changed mine quite a few times before finding one that works.
