Smartphone sales down 22 percent in Q2, the worst performance in a decade::North American sales are bad for everyone, except, miraculously, Google.

I mean this right here: I miss those glorious days in the late 2000s when phones were fun. You could buy a phone that fit your lifestyle. If you text and email a lot, get a phone with a keyboard. Take a lot of photos? Get a camera phone. Like listening to music? Here's a media phone. Like games? Here's a gaming phone. Just want a thing that can make phone calls that will last a month on a charge because you don't use it much? Here's a regular old flip phone.

Nowadays you don't even have a real choice in size. Want a small phone that's easy to fit in a pocket because you usually have a laptop with you anyway? Get bent!

Yeah I won't be buying a new phone until they return to a reasonable size. I have a tablet and laptop for real work.
