It's getting to the point where I use my phone not only from calls and texts, but I also browse the web a TON on it. So much that I'm considering getting rid of my desktop. Is this something you've noticed as well, or am I just strange? :p

I usually only use my desktop to go on the internet, I only use my phone if I need to doing something important and I am away from home.

It won't be long till the phone becomes a PC or gives way to something that is a portable PC. But I think were a little ways from phones replacing out internet.

You should get the Samsung galaxy note, it has a HUGE screen.

I use my phone all the time too. :O I use my phone to browse about the same amount as I do my laptop. It's quicker and easier to just open Opera Mini browser on my phone than it is to start up my laptop. I do use my laptop quite a lot as well, though. ;)

I too use to browse net in my phone. But i don't get the experience of the pc in my mobile. So like to stick with my desktop for browsing.

I used to be like you a lot. I used solely my phone pretty much.

But I just bought a new laptop so I use my phone less and less, just for on the go stuff and twitter.

Remember, your Desktop can do a million more things than any Smartphone can. I wouldn't get rid of your Desktop. :)

But slowly tablets and phones are taking place of computers for every day needs. If you invest in say a Nexus 10 or Nexus 7, and a keyboard maybe a mouse. You can have a super portable computer for typing papers, internet, or anything an average computer user would do.

I find that if I am not near to a computer I will use my phone or my tablet a way lot more to get onto a web browser :) I wouldn't say it is so bad that I would consider getting rid of my laptop or desktop as I only use it when I am not near either of those.

I would get rid of all my portable devices. I use my desktops far to often for my servers and coding purposes.
