Default "Daily Driver?" No, it's not, you don't drive it so shutup!

I've been watching a lot of phone reviews and I've done a lot of reading, but what I can't help but notice is the phrase "daily driver!" I see this phrase everywhere in reviews and in comment sections- it makes me cringe every time!

It's not a bloody daily driver, just refer to it as a "daily phone" or "daily user". Seriously, you don't drive the god damn thing so stop calling it your daily driver!

This makes me very glad I spend almost no time at all ever reading phone reviews

I thought everyone just bought iPhones... Or Samsung Galaxies if they couldnt afford an iPhone and Blackberry's if they felt they had to prove their technical knowledge...

Some people just get the cheapest one they can find.

^^ I do, partly because I can't see any point in spending huge amounts on a phone, on what can technically be classed as finance (2 year contract etc)

My Galaxy S2 works fine, does everything I need it to and is cheap as chips. £70 got me a decent 2nd hand one when my first one got smashed.

What's the retail on the latest iphones etc? What are they a month? £45 over 2 years or something like that = £1080 in 2 years.. sod that!
