If I was forced to choose whether my device only had phone features or everything but phone features, I'd choose the phone features. Voice contact (without requiring that everybody I want to call has and pays attention to a particular voice chat app) is the most important thing to me by leaps and bounds. I realize that not everybody feels the same way, but I worry that it has become such a stark segregation that phone features are no longer given the attention they need to avoid these issues. It's frustrating, especially when some people are dismissive and snobbish about even the concept of calling people on the phone.
- hrktb 8y agoWanting reliable and fully baked features is natural. I interpret the parent comment not as diminishing the problem, but just reacting to that notion that calling is the main feature. I genuinely think that ship has sailed since the iPhone, as every single aspect of pure voice calling got worse. The first iPhone was so bad it was wise to keep it as a secundary device only. It got better with time, but there is still IMO no phone centric feature that is better than a decent dedicated feature phones. I say that as someone who hates calling, and I’m still annoyed at how it’s half assed.
