I don't even use my ordinary phone very much. I have no need for a "smart" phone. Which is besides the point, since few people do. I have no desire for one. I'm not saying they're bad or anything, but if I do get one it'll be because of disposable income (hah!) rather than anything else. Unless there's a killer app on the horizon that renders my life more meaningless than usual without it.

It's not about killer apps. It's about a large number of smaller apps that make life mildly easier.
For instance, I have an app called TramHunter that tells me, down to the minute, when a tram will arrive at my nearest stop. It's not just telling me the timetables - all the trams have GPS in them and it's almost always accurate. This means that I can judge when to leave my office or home to catch the tram without having to wait too long. Also it tells me when a tram has been delayed and I should just start walking or when it's coming soon and I should run to catch it.
Other apps I like: Aussie Weather Radar shows me the local rain map of my city. Various Wikipedia apps give me information quickly. Google Maps means I don't get lost. Google Calendar with integrated reminders means I don't miss out on shit.
Thus, my life is easier since I got my smartphone.

Liar. You jumped in to the cult with relish like the hipster fag you are.
