Do you look down on colleagues who don't have an iPhone/Samsung Smart Phone?

In my house I’m having speaking tubes fitted so I can summon the butler.

The first house I lived in still had buttons in all the reception rooms and a little panel above the door in the kitchen where a corresponding star symbol would shake when a button was pressed.

Property was cheap in the 70's and my dad was/is financially savvy.

Most of my colleagues have either iPhone or Samsung (many got both). Now I have been told not having one is a ‘serious’ social stigma!

Resistance is futile. You are going to get yourself a proper smartphone sooner or later so just put yourself out of your misery and do it.

If you pulled out a Nokia 3310/brick in front of me I would assume you have no idea about technology and yes I would be looking down at you.

There is a big difference between knowing about technology and having the latest gadgets, assuming that the two are correlated is a bad idea. I've wasted enough cash and been disappointed often enough that the latest gadgets hold little appeal for me now.

You could have said that in two words

Buy a Nexus 4. They're like £280 direct from Google. Cheap.

One information I missed to mention in my thread starter was, I am currently working for one of the four UK Mobile Service providers. Not sure how relevant is that in this situation ?

Every minute u spent without a smartphone is slapping your client in the face.

Actually every minute you sit in a meeting with a dumb phone you scare them. The future is 4g and that has no concept of voice or sms everything is just a byte of data.

Looks like I'll be without a smartphone for quite a few more years, then.
