I think for in the range of 98% of smartphone users the phone is the least useful feature. In truth they’re often really crap phones and my old flip phone had better all around phone quality and utility. But at this point I feel annoyed when I have to speak to a person. If I were meant to speak to people I wouldn’t have been born an engineer.

Part of the reason this number's so high is that if a phone feature is really important to you, you're liable to get a standalone VoIP line and a headset to go with whatever handset you have rather than using a smartphone.
- fnordpiglet 4y agoYeah certainly the fact they’re universally bad phones makes them less useful as a phone, and phone phones are better at being phones. But I would also hold that phones generally suck, but that’s opinion.
