I've got at least 60 reasons per month to not be bitter. 
Just don't sell me on something I don't need.
What's funny is how I work in engineering. For all intents and purposes you could call me an engineer (of a stripe - I'm really a technician). What amazes my peers though, is my insistence that I only buy technology to solve a problem that I already have.
Then, I do this really wacky thing where I do a cost-benefit analysis on said solution, and see if the solution is really worth it. Now, where the rubber has met the road a couple of times (especially regarding smart phones), was that I had to consider cost of effective implementation.
Last year, the iPhone was going to cost me ~$1100 for effective implementation. It now is going to cost me ~$300 (+monthlies)
The Android phone, on the surface, appears to only set me back unit price + monthlies (which is still annoying), the complete unknown though, is for effective implementation, I may have to do some serious migration. . . and I don't know what the realized cost on that might be.
Or, I can keep my phone, and still show up to work on time.
I don't see the need for a 9" e-dong if all one is going to do with it is masturbate; I already have an app for that.

I was merely working under the premise that if you stop, you're finished.
You asked nothing regarding completeness nor quality.
