^ i felt the same way until i actually got a smartphone...now i would go crazy without it lol its nice being out on the go and being able to look something up online if you need to...phone numbers, free gps (uses google, so even if my garmin cant find it, my phone can - thats happened to me twice), talking with friends and need to google something, doctors office waiting rooms browsing OR or watching netflix, etc... i would get by without it - but there are definitely worse things to spend $30 on....hell, i spend $30 on a 100rd box of .40 ammo...and that only lasts me a few minutes lol on top of that, verizon finally got a rugged smartphone, so im in heaven lol....i can use it to get online and look stuff up while working on a car, read repair manuals on it, etc....no more lugging my laptop around...and if i get it all greasy i just pour some dish soap on it and wash it off in the sink and im good to go.....plus, when im at my girls house in the pool and shes being a bum "laying out" and sleeping, i can play games or browse OR to keep myself entertained while chilling in the pool...win
