QOTD: Are you an ignorant smartphone user?

Do you use your smartphone when you shouldn’t and have you found yourself using it more often recently as the uses become more varied from the new range of apps and software available?

    I feel your pain. I am working tirelessly to ween myself off my phone!

    Sometimes I use it when I shouldn’t – checking email in meetings or sending tweets. It’s too tempting! I’m pretty good when out with friends though, I tend to put it in my pocket and forget about it.

    Nop. I try always to be non-slave to machines.
    I just use the smartphone/handheld devices when need or during leisure times/traveling. Other then that I don’t pick up the phone to check anything… only if I’m waiting for something. And… no push mail either! I push it when I intend to.

    That’s something I as “addicted” as I may be to this kind of things have always tried to do.

    However it can give the wrong idea to popup a smartphone to take a note, than a PDA to read and see a movie… at least here in Portugal where this kind of “people like us” is not around each corner. That’s why I will hardly buy a tablet. People would look and say: “what a geek!”, not “wow! that’s very cool!”

    Probably a little. I do turn off push email and notification sounds.

    My Galaxy S arrived this week, and I have been obsessed getting it set up and getting to know Android. My love for smartphones is back. I’ve left my USB modem behind since it was getting too expensive. I now only have been Internet at work and for the rest of the time I’m planning to use my phone. I wonder how it will go. (Though it isn’t the time I’ve done it, and that was when I had a Treo 600!)
