This isn't a dig at you personally, but the idea of somebody saying "This phone is unusuable! You can't do anything except make calls and text with it!" is just so hilarious to me.

It is, until you start replacing the word "phone" with "pocket computer". Our smartphones are now computers with phone call making abilities, not phones with some computing abilities.

It's not so hilarious when you consider that this is a smartphone.

But yes, taking things out of context can make them amusing.
