Do you own a smartphone?

[CyberInferno]

A new study shows that 72% of new cell phones sold in the United States (http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/npd-finds-featurephones-account-for-72-of-new-handset-sales-in/) are smartphones.

Do you own a smartphone (ex. iPhone, Blackberry, etc. Anything marketed as a "smartphone" counts)?

This poll is in conjunction with this week's Technology Round-up (http://bit.ly/APtech082409).

[LamarVannoy]

no, i own a dumbphone.

[BulleTheory]

nope, dont need one.

[fourletterword]

no

[E. Clectic]

nope. my phone is most likely the product on incest.

[NateGolubiewski]

Yes, and while it is overrated, I love my Iphone.

[jeremypeele]

i have a blackberry, but i'd rather not even have a cell phone. i wouldn't if my parents didn't pay my bills, just because they want a way to keep in touch with me.
one day i will live with nothing but a home phone.

[spunkmastaflex]

i have some lame phone and i love it, not nearly as many distractions while in class and elsewhere where i should be paying attention to something else

[Yellowcard2006]

No, my phone makes calls. Pretty dumb right?

[jimmyeatblink]

Blackberry bold, don't know how i lived without one before

[AMackChuck]

Not sure if a Sidekick counts as a smartphone. It does everything a crackberry does anyway.

[kdefrisc]

I really want an iPhone

[CyberInferno]

As a dork without a laptop (I like building my own computers), I find that smartphones are essential to my sanity ;-)

However, I will say that I sometimes wish that we lived in a simpler time where we didn't have to always be connected. Only sometimes though!

[Indoor Living]

I'm such a tech-dependent person that always needs to be up on things. My Blackberry, at times, is a complete necessity.

[Rest_Easy]

own an iphone and I love it. Went from a free with signup account razr to iphone and really the difference is night and day.
And I'm one of those few who actually make phone calls on my smart phone and don't just txt through every conversation or post on facebook and twitter. (own a facebook, log in twice a month to view friend's pictures who refuse to post them anywhere else. Do Not own a twitter account and never will)

[SuNDaYSTaR]

Yes, but it's the worst idea I ever had. It's expensive as hell (in Canada at least) and you get addicted to these things.

[fightinirish217]

Blackberry Tour, just got it, I'm liking it so far.

[NewOrchestra]

Yes, I got myself a Palm Pre.

[didwhat77times]

That's so true! I had a minor freak out this morning when I couldn't find my iPhone. It's actually kind of scary to be so reliant on a device I didn't even have 14 months ago.

[Broden Terry]

Uh-uh :shake:

[Analog Rebellion]

My iPhone has reduced my laptop/desktop computer use by probably 15%.

[billyboatkid]

Yes, I love my iPhone.

[billyboatkid]

Yes, I got myself a Palm Pre.
Those are pretty cool, but the buttons are wayyyy to small.

[mike'smannequin]

nope

[Neo Cassady]

Nope. I don't even carry my phone with me a lot lately...it's nice to be disconnected every now and then.

[Colin1755]

unfornately not, may in feburary though =)

[Colin1755]

everybody who owns blackberrys dont know what there in for, before they know it its there crackberry.

According to the users here, only 50% do.

[Tristan Needler]

Nope, but mine does have a qwerty keyboard.

[briewer]

I have a Blackberry that's still pretty dumb.

EDIT: Dang, my vote made it 99-99.

[zachff]

iPhone. after having one i don't think i could ever go back to a dumb phone

[VIVALAMATT]

blackberry curve :)

[Alex DiVincenzo]

iPhone FTW. I don't know how I survived without it.

[abbysmith]

Nope, I have no need for one at this point.

[inthemidst]

Can't afford it; I need to eat...it's unnecessary anyway.

[rikfrommf]

iPhone

[murrich]

My phone has a stopwatch and a flashlight, it's pretty smart.

[Clark]

I have a T-Mobile G1. It is the greatest device I've ever held in my hands. I love Google Android.

[AbbeyCarbs]

nope
