Even living in the rural area of the West and in the mountains, I get all the sevices and amenities here that I would get in any urban area. In fact, AT&T was the first company to increase its reception in this region. While I would love to have internet on my phone - especially with the sexy new "apps" available on the big screens available today - it doesn't make sense for us. My husband and I are both retired, so I have access to everything I can think of with my laptop. Even when we travel, wifi availablity is increasing dramatically. As I have observed cell phone use, there is a marked difference in age ranges as to the use and expectations from a phone. The baby boomers have to really be motivated and trained; such as demanded by work or intrinsic curiosity, to use cell phones with some of their capacity. My 12 year old granddaughter was given a cell phone as a gift from her parents for leaving 6th grade. They reasoned that she will be going to a different school for junior high and is more independent now. I can't even imagine the uses that her generation will take for granite from the electronic world. It was good to see that I have AT&T contributing to its 28.7% of the market.

In fact, most teenager or young adults cannot live without celphones. For me, cellphones is important. It makes worlds smaller. Cellphones is valuable nowadays.

I also do not order anything on line. It is too easy for the bhad guys to get hold of my information and rob me. Just say I am old fashioned but at 71 years young I do not like some of the new gadgets that are on the market. Sorry all, but I do not own a cell phone. I also do not order anything on line.

Internet-enabled smartphones allow consumers to quickly research and evaluate a product which could heavily influence whether they make a purchase or not. Companies and organizations which are able to effectively create marketing campaigns that include the presentation of data in a mobile format will have an edge in this powerful new segment.

If I need a computer I will use one and on the road I would either get a netbook or a wireless laptop or not try to get my phone be a computer. I may be old fashion but to me a phone is a phone and if you get the smart phones then you are getting a small computer. I have considered using my phone for a modem to use my computer but I still prefer a basic cell phone for just calling my friends and family and not be bothered by the rest of the apps or such or the text messaging which can be as annoying as talking and more distracting when you are driving and just pay attention to what your are doing. Most of what I buy I get at a store and if I can not find it I will look online. Using a cell phone is an easy way for people to steal your info and leave you stuck with a bill.

And I think AT&T and Verizon need some real competition...looks like they have a really big hold on the market which = bad news for those who can't afford to spend a fortune to have a cell phone....
