Do you own a smart phone, if so what is the operating system and do you download apps from the store?

I love technology but cell phones are hell-spawn. There's nothing worse these days than someone lost in their own world in a queue somewhere, thumbs furiously pumping away like the message they're sending must somehow be sent in the next 5 seconds because their head is about to explode and the information they carry is the key to saving humanity.

You all know who you are...

Now that I think about it, it's all summed up for me in Ghostbusters when Egon attempts to break out the calculator in the library at the beginning of the movie and Venkman knocks it out of his hands and says "STOP THAT!". Every time some homer tries to use their phone to Google something asinine that came up in conversation because they don't believe you, that scene runs through my head.

YES I agree 100%, especially with the bolded part. It's one thing to be immersed in your little electronic world on a train or something, but if you are in a social setting put the cursed thing away! I can't stand when someone reads a text message (or worse, an email) while you are talking to them... it's like, at LEAST wait until a break in conversation and politely apologize for the interruption as you check. Or better yet, just wait 5 damn minutes, if it was urgent they would have called. Raaagggeeee.

I am considering getting a smartphone, nothing against the machines themselves, they're handy. I promise not to be one of the asshats you've described if I do get one.

You missed Blackberry OS off there. I use 4.6 I think. Probably.

Had windows mobile on HTC, Android 2.1 on Motorola Milestone and out of the two android is just far far better, miles ahead of windows mobile.

Now im getting a new phone, and im really struggling to decide what to go for, The iphone, Blackberry Slider, or another Android phone...

...Dont know if the iphone is worth the expense!

I've been looking at the developer options, Android it crud cause you can't sell apps if your in Australia plus the development environment isn't that great, Windows Mobile looks the easiest to develop for the development environment is the best, iPhone development environment is ok, better than android but still not as good as the Windows Mobile. Didn't really look in to Symbian much cause it looked like apps were custom made for each type of phone that Nokia sells. All in all I still think iPhone has the best model, I am also hoping that Windows Mobile 7 takes off, it looks a lot better than the older Windows Mobile versions.
