the best thing is all the handy apps you can download to make your life run easier

The best thing about owning a smartphone is any time you are a bit bored, you have an entertainment system in your pocket. If there is a commercial on tv, you are waiting for someone or even on the loo, you always have something to do.

The best thing is having a world of information at your fingertips, the worst is having to mind the phone like a baby cos you don't want to break or lose it.

Worst thing is the battery life

The best thing about smart phones is how shiny and awesome they are, BUT the worst thing is that the shinyness and awesomeness attracts little s**** who run off with your phone! Had my lovely Samsung Galaxy 2 taken out of my hand walking down Henry Street and now I can't tell when a bleedin' bus is going to arrive ! Losing a smart phone makes you realise how they make life that little bit easier, with instant emails, googling directions when you're lost, looking up time tables for buses, trains, real-time info for where your bus is, ordering taxis, watching Netflix, taking high quality photos on the go and the instantaneous exchange of any information between you and your friends!

Hi everyone,

When you consider that more than two-thirds of the Irish population own a smartphone of some kind, it’s safe to say they’re here to stay. The capabilities of these little (and big!) devices improve all the time, allowing us to automate aspects of our lives with ease. Climote is a case in point – an award-winning digital timeclock which pairs perfectly with a smartphone, allowing you to control your home heating from anywhere.

Until 31/05/13, you can get Climote at the reduced price of just €269 when you purchase one at our online store using the voucher code EI0105A - that's €130 off the RRP of €399!



And that’s not all of course: entering this month’s Boards competition will give you the chance to win either a HTC One or a Samsung Galaxy S4! The winner will have a choice between these two gorgeous smartphones, both ideal for running the latest and greatest apps, browsing the web, snapping pics, controlling your home heating , or, indeed, talking to friends and family (so long as they don’t interrupt your record-breaking game of Angry Birds).



To be in with a chance to win, just answer this question: What’s the best thing (and/or worst thing, if you must!) about owning a smartphone?

The competition runs until next Wednesday 29th May, and the winner will be chosen via random selection. The usual T&Cs apply.

Best of luck!

The best thing is definitely internet on the go.

godtabh

The best thing is that its so handy. The worst thing is that the marketing departments of multinational electronic companies prey on me

nicklauski

Best thing - having the web and a camera always at hand 
Worst thing - terrible battery life. Needing to be charged daily driving up the electric bill

The best thing about owning a smartphone is having the ability to look up anything anywhere you are.

jimmynokia

The best thing how advanced they have become, the worst thing is you can be contacted to easily by owning one.

livdmg

The best thing is finding out the answer to those questions you get asked about in the bar. Like what were the two dog's names in Magnum P.I.?

xtal191

The best thing would be being able to Skype my two nieces in Australia and keeping them updated with pics and everything going on. The worst thing about them is the abuse I get for not having one :(  I'm still using a Nokia 6300!!!

cnoc

The best thing about owning a Smartphone is that I do not own one now!

RidleyRider

The best thing about owning a smartphone is how the internet is just as good on them as they would be on a computer. The ease of having your day planner, what apps you need throughout the day if you need any and the games that are only a few seconds away on your phone rather then setting up the laptop/computer and then being bored of the thing you wanted to do because of the time it took to set up.

Sure the batteries suck but that's just because we spend hours playing with them, sucking the juice outta them playing angry birds or trawling the internet looking at boards.ie

Heroditas

The best thing about a smart phone is you can, literally, have everything at your fingertips from your address book to your emails to even viewing films or photographs on a hard drive at home!!

It's like having a computer in your pocket!

Skid X

The worst thing is they have ruined Table Quizzes, smartphones are great but people should be able to put them away every now and then.

listermint

The best thing about owning a smartphone,  has to be catching memories. The holiday to thailand, the ring of kerry, the dodgy rendition of 'never forget' by your buddy jason which gets pulled out at every gathering, the sing along when Ireland got beaten by Spain in Gdansk and knowing that youll never forget this moment and the hairs on the back of your neck standing with pride singing even though your team have lost.



The worst thing about owning a smartphone, factory reset and losing the pictures  

dinneenp

Best thing: you have the internet & e-mail at hand ALL THE TIME. Can be great if you need to check something
Worst thing: you have the internet & e-mail at hand ALL THE TIME. Can end up checkig too often; first thing in the morning, last thing in the evening, before dinner, after dinner, on the toilet etc.

Mince Pie

The best thing is being able to Skype long distance friends and send pictures instantly. 

Worst thing is dropping them and the heart failure you instantly get.

shrapnel222
