Who gave up on using a smartphone?

I picked up an HTC HD7 Windows Phone 7 about 6 months ago. Really like it. The screen is big. It's pretty easy to type IMs on, etc.

The only thing I don't care for is the battery life. I have to charge it every day.

As for emails, interruptions etc. That's one HUGE reason I never let work get me a phone. If they're paying for it, they'll expect you to answer it 24/7.

Generally, I leave the thing off unless I'm out of the house. For me anyway, the cell is the LAST place people should try to get me. I know for many people, though, It's the first place they expect to be reached.

Just depends on how "connected" you want to be.

Nope, was too busy walking uphill both ways, in the snow, to work.  ;)

I still use mine mostly as a phone and sometimes as a camera or MP3 player. The only game I play is fruit ninja (on the throne or on long rides). I do use it for work email when Im on call

I don't have a smart phone.  Why?

1) $30/month for 2 gig/month plan
2) $20 more to be "allowed to" tether it to a PC or make it a hotspot ..... something I already have at home with better bandwidth.

So, $50 for something I already get for $30 or so.  No thanks.  $10/month unlimited ... fine I'll do it.  My only motivation is to hide what I do from my employer.

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!

My wife is happy with it now. I'm happy that I finally have someone else to pay my phone bill. That is good enough for me :).

There is also an iPad/Galaxy tab in the job offer. Is that something to use as phone? I don't care about big. I only phone behind my desk.
