Sent from my iPhone- A rant

Why do people feel the need to alert everyone that they have an iPhone or a Blackberry? I may be alone on this one but I don't care weather you have a smart phone or not. The "call me on my iPhone" or "send it to my Blackberry" is just super annoying, and you can't forget the obligatory "sent from my iPhone/Blackberry" email signature.

I get that these devices are fun and do a lot of really cool stuff but you don't need to announce it all the time. Can't you just say "my phone"? I can infere that if you say "send me an email and I'll get it on my phone" that you have a smart phone. I'm sure this is just me being cranky but it gets on my nerves a bit. I don't go around saying "excuse me will you hand me my American Apparell sweatshirt?" or "let's take my Toyota car" you know? I get it, you have cool stuff, so do I. I'm not jealous, because I have one, but I got rid of that stupid signature. Just something to think about.

  1. I see where you are coming from, and you make a good point. A lot of times though, the "Sent from my iPhone" signature is helpful to let people know that you are not stupid and CAN actually spell but are just on a device where it's not the easiest to type.

    Other than that...the whole thing could be done away with.

  2. You make a valid point, I didnt consider the spelling and grammatical errors aspect. Good insight.
