Welcome.
I remember my first smartphone - a Nokia Lumia 520. It seemed almost magical. You feel none of that, then?
This is my first SMART phone, not my first cell phone which was a ten pound Motorola in the 80's. In terms of what it costs I think it's the most useless invention ever but people are being forced to get aboard the craze. My non-texto flipphone kicked the bucket and my provider told me there was no replacement either of the (too cheap and not enough profits) phone type or of the (too cheap and not enough profits) associated service!
That said, in the long term it is likely to replace all other private computing devices, eventually/already hooking up to large desktop monitors and keyboards. The days of my desktop death-star are definitely over, my laptop is already gone and will not be replaced, idiotpads are next. I accept progress, it it the amount of spying and privacy invasion equivalent to a streaming colonoscopy that makes my blood boil and frames my attitude toward the smart-phone myth as a whole. My next model will have to have
- an easily removable battery
- easily removable SIM and SD card(s)
- and/or other forms of HARDWARE-based interdiction tools

My wife picked them up on a whim for us to try out... they were 50 bucks on Amazon.. and we loved the incredible touchscreen magic, live windows on screen, and Cortana, who seemed to be able to do almost anything with just your voice
