Who gave up on using a smartphone?

This is the only real true, thats why smartphones and pads are  out there.

Well that's cause the smart phone does a lot more I have a android phone that's just used as a phone no 3g or wifi and that lasts about 3 and a half days cause I'm not syncing stuff and only use it call and play/use apps throughout the day.

Well then scale the battery gdemmit! I don't care to carry a 300gram phone. I'm a man you know, no sissy boy!

A lot of android phones have a battery you can buy for it which is twice as big.  It's rather bulky in your pocket, but it gets the job done.  Also, the only app I've paid for (although there is a free version too) is called JuiceDefender which turns off several settings when the screen is turned off.  It has doubled my battery life.

I got my first smartphone last December and I am hooked.

How much content do you create on your dumb-phone?

The other issue is being accessible via email 24 hours a day, which is understandable but not necessarily a smartphone issue. I don't like getting urgent emails during off hours and I really don't like urgent phone calls, but the advantage to getting a urgent email at 8pm is that I can usually take care of an urgent problem before it becomes a disaster.

Getting work email on my my smartphone isn't an issue for me.  I only use it during business hours when I'm away from my desk, and for those situations it's very helpful.  If they need me for something after hours they use the "phone" feature to get my attention.
