Do people with smartphones have a right to say that they have a crappy phone?

[Callie]

I don't know why, but I've been thinking about this a lot lately. This one kid in my grade has an android, and he saw me using my iPhone, and he asked if he could play with it. I told him that he had an android, and (purely guessing, I don't have much droid experience) that they're gonna be pretty similar. And then he said, "But I have a really old, crappy android!"

And that got me thinking, if you have a smartphone, do you really have the right to say you have a crappy phone? I mean, it is a smartphone. They do a lot of really neat stuff, way more than other phones. Can you really call it crappy?
I used to have a really crappy tracfone, and that I feel I can call crappy because, well, that's what it was. It couldn't do anything, and I couldn't actually hear people talk.

So, what do you guys think?

Umm it is an opinion right? So I dont; see why they couldn't, sides he did say it was old, is your iphone newer?

my phone, though not a smart phone, is already quirking out on me after only a year sadly

I guess you could call it crappy if you want. I just got a smart phone today and I'm loving it.

I dunno, Android runs differently on every phone, since the different phone makers and carriers make modifications to it. And it depends on who made the phone, since there are some pretty bad smartphones out there. Never really got the iPhone craze, it's just another phone but with a silver apple on the back. Big whoop.

they can ***** and complain about whatever they want.

it's just a matter of how much of a dick they want to look like to other people.

if they don't like their phone, that's their own fault, one reason or another.

He's a spoilt kid so he just wants to follow the crowd, He doesn't even need most features on a smart phone.

Pretty much agreeing with the consensus: you can call anything you want crappy, you just might seem spoiled.
But I think some smart phones don't function as well as others. Additionally, once you get used to their good features, the only thing that will continue to stick out is their problems, because that's how people work.

I have a glitchy phone of questionable functionality, but I'm just happy that it has a qwerty keyboard. 8J

I guess they kind of do just as long as there's something good to compare it to. It can work the other way, too. If there's something crappy to compare it to.

Sometimes people should just be grateful for what they have, who knows? There's probably a guy out there who doesn't even have a cellphone. *cough* *cough*

Unless the phone is actually crappy (i.e. it doesn't really work/slow/stuff like that) instead of it just being last week's model. Like the phone before my replacement; it was so bad, they stopped making them, so therefore, had to send me a worse phone.
