Slap a fancy title on it and we'll buy anything.

So I read this morning, over here, that Best Buy Mobile took a survey of 1000 people and determined that most Americans want a "smart phone" but don't have a clue what to do with it. Well, that makes sense. I encourage you to go ahead and read the article, that is as long as you return here. Go, go right now, I'll be waiting.
Welcome back.
Ok so now that you read the article you will realize that this enhances my point with the whole iPhone post that I previously posted. People are clueless. I mean it obviously makes the most sense to spend the most possible amount of money to get something you will use almost solely use as a phone while signing your life away for a 2 year contract to "save yourself money" (in case you don't understand the quotes around that, it was quoted for emphasis to mock those that think they are saving themselves money by being locked into lengthy contracts in order to have a discounted price on a phone).
Don't get me wrong here. I think that "smart phones" are the wave of the, well, past present and future. But I think that this is much like the person who buys a super fast computer but only uses it to check their email and surf for porn. What was the point? If you are going to have a super fast computer why not run folding@home while playing Crysis on one screen, while listening to The Clicquot Club Eskimos in iTunes, while watching Home Alone 3 on a second display all while surfing for porn on your third screen. That would make more sense.
What I'm trying to say here kids, is that you are biting off more than you can chew and wasting your money on stuff you don't even understand. Why? Do yourself a favor and go by yourself a RAZR or RIZR or PEBL or whatever they call them these days. Actually save yourself the trouble and go by a Nokia, I dig them so they have to be good.
Sidenote: Run on sentences are great by the way, especially when mocking people.
