I'll be honest. I've yet to hear a human actually say the word. I've only ever seen the silly thing in print. Who's actually pushing the use of the word at this point, anyway? Tech-media? It seems like consumers are buying them and just calling them "phones." *shrugs*

It doesn't bother me. It's neither here nor there. It's just an industry term -- an easy way to refer to a product category. It's quicker than saying "smartphones with a screen size 5-7 inches." At any rate, I wasn't referring to you, DD.
