Why is it a "smart" phone? Every time I send a text it changes my words and makes no sense. The gps is never right. And I never have any bars when I'm not in range of wi-fi. Seems more like a dumb phone to me. Am I right?

yeah, I was gonna say that the op has it wrong - the phone part of a smartphone is rarely used when it comes to common usage

I know a number of people who aren't hipster who miss having a basic cell phone from early 2000s. most of em are tech illiterate baby boomers, and I'm sure there's a way you can, but they just think their options are limited to what they see on their cell carrier's lineup - which is of course all smartphones.

some people just want a phone and not some advanced pda with an app you have to launch from a touch screen in order to call someone

Meanwhile I'm jerking off to pornhub at work while I listen to music. Later I'm going to be playing Crossy Road while pretending to get poo poo done. Have fun with your flip phone.

I have no problem calling them smart phones, they are incredible devices. They have amazing processing power, wireless connectivity of varying types, a vast array of sensors including 2 imaging sensors sometimes, a high resolution monitor and it all fits in your pocket. Truly remarkable devices that we take for granted.
