that's the main purpose of a phone how do you even say something like this

Holy stuff, you guys need to learn what hyperbole is. Obviously people use their phones to make calls -- but I'd assert that in 2014 the main reason people purchase a phone is not to make and receive calls. It's certainly not their reasoning behind why they buy a smartphone -- if their intent is purely to make calls on their phone they would likely choose a phone with lower monthly premiums (data plans) like a flip phone.

And that's why trinick needs a tablet.

I don't want a tablet. Tablets are too large to carry in my pocket. I may be able to make due with an iPod touch, but I would be absolutely wrecked by my inability to send text messages. As I said before, I send at least 800 each and every day. However, I don't think I would be inconvenienced much if I could no longer make or receive calls.

Here's the thing, though, you would get a phone first and foremost for calling / texting, but it would suck ass if that's all your phone could do.

perhaps if you didn't assume for everyone then I (which is also not "us") wouldn't think you're dumb.

I agree that people get a phone first and foremost for communication, but the action of dialing a number and having an auditory conversation is for the most part antiquated. Hell, even my mother will shoot me a text to ask me a question rather than interrupt both of our lives to have a phone call.

My phone was reset sometime in July. Here's the top 8 people I communicated with since then via text message:


And here's my call history from today:


As you can see, I'm not generally called too often despite frequent communication.

iPhone 6/6+ is releasing today! Receiving it today, so hyped

[Clear Glass]

Bump. Got my iPhone back on friday. Had to go to AT&T store about 3 times because the SIM kept getting fried because AT&T people over the phone were autistic trying to activate the correct number for us.

Got the iPhone 6 64GB Space Grey. In case anyone else got the 6 and is looking for a case I ordered the Balistic Urbanite case, I have not gotten it yet but I used their iPhone 5 case and it protected my phone from a few drops. I'll post better pictures tomorrow.

Received my 64GB iPhone 6 Gold on 19th and it is amazing so far!
