I've read your bio before. I was going to respond to your first paragraph more extensively, but saw that kleinbl00 already stole my thunder. Go read the book he recommends, I am also reading it and enjoying it.

The main reason I wrote that it might not be a good idea to phrase it that way is that even though you stated your honesty pretty clearly, your tone and pros / cons didn't really made that believable. Try replacing 'smartphone' with 'laptop' in your post and it might become more clear; it's what _refugee_ was arguing. Kleinbl00, combining your response to ref with your original post, also noticed the discontinuity in your statements and thus thought you might be intentionally flippant. I think that was a reasonable statement to make.

And yeah, most flimsy smartphones have dumb touchscreens that aren't perfect but it is a price well worth paying for the insane amount of use most people get out of it. Have you taken a look around the app stores, like beyond the well-known brand apps? There are so many niche apps, like for tracking sleep or predicting when your train arrives or giving you a Pomodoro timer or for tracking cryptocurrency or for having all the world's knowledge in your hands. Plus, go visit a Media Markt sometime - the phones there are actually not that different from what the rest of Europe has.
