Ooooo another non-Japan related thread.
I guess for me it just makes life easier - much easier. The OP is complaining now but in a few years they'll be wondering how they ever managed without!
Last Thursday I was happilly texting away on my SamsungG600 when it just died, right there and then in my hand. Would not switch back on, charge up, nothing. I went 3 days without a phone and I tell you, I was COMPLETELY LOST without it!
Couldn't contact any of my friends without access to my laptop because everyones number was in my phone, couldn't check the time cuz I don't own a watch - used my phone for that. No alarm clock for the mornings, no camera, no photos/videos to look at on dinner breaks at work, no facebook on the go either. I was gutted!
Now got a LGKS360 and I'm loving it!
