Wow Swan, I can see how that was so hard to adjust to! I don't use my smartphone for near that much. I check email, text, interact with FB and TE - though frankly I prefer to do those last two things on my computer. I am finally getting my u-verse TV reinstalled this weekend - got a very good deal from them that gives me all of the channels I want and I only increased my overall bill with them by $10 - and that is balanced out by dropping Netflix. Can't beat that with a stick

I've found myself reaching for my phone to check my email in the middle of the night when I wake up and can't get back to sleep - I mean, seriously! What is the point of that? I don't HAVE to check my work email from my phone, if I need to do so at home I can remote into my work computer directly from my home computer. The more I think about it, the only real advantage I can see to having a smartphone is a backup if my home computer commits hari-kari... I don't really seem to take full advantage of it as far as all of the different applications and so forth that so many use.
