I don't have a smart phone. I only got a cell phone in the last year and since I didn't want to spend too much (plus I already have an iPod Touch), I got a basic cell phone.
How dare you call yourself Techie then.

Did/Done. Though mine is a basic Tracfone (does that mean I have a dumb phone?:D :) , I had to look up the smartphone ratings in my Consumer Reports Buyer's Guide; I think when and if I get a smartphone, it'll be a Blackberry. So I chose that for the what phone interests you most? question.

I am an unemployed, back in school full-time, techie with a husband that is cheap. And he knows that I want the latest and greatest, but I know the budget can't handle it if I want to be able to talk him into trips to visit the mouse.
Pick your battles and avoid the ones you really don't need to get into. ;)

He allowed the cellphone in the budget because of sick relatives and the need for the union to call me just about wherever I am when they have overhire work.

Done.
And Techie? I was just joking you.

they flow from me,
inscribed but now unbound,
I touch them,
and they are real,
and they are real."

please take it, we need more results for a research paper that's due Monday.
Couldn't complete the survey. The third question asks about employment status and didn't have "employed part-time" as an option.

Design of surveys is a non-trivial subject; this is just one example of how they can fail.

Done.

And I agree that my phone is a PHONE first, and a nifty little handheld computer second.

I just like the ability to take a pic of my daughter freaking out while meeting Handy Manny, and being able to send it to my parents halfway across the country without using a text message. *LOL*

The person who created the survey for the group forgot part-time as an option sadly. As a group we came up with the options so more than college students could take it, yet the person forgot some stuff tailoring it towards college for some reason.

Ironically we had a fight over the smart phone categories since windows doesn't make their own phones and neither does android/Google while blackberry, palm, and apple does, which is why palm is an option yet windows and android are under other.
