I tried to build a deck with my smartphone, it couldn't drive a single nail.

There's pills promising to improve my love life also, I don't believe them either

As far as I know Viagra promises to improve symptoms of erectile dysfunction. It doesn't claim to make you less of a shit boyfriend.

As with all things, people should evaluate the claims of companies vs reality.

If it seems to good to be true, it probably is.

But the guy at the phone store told me it was practically indestructible, I used it practically and it destructable'd.

I'm starting to think this whole 'phone' thing is doomed to failure.

I'm basing this entirely on a single anecdotal evidence and all of the other evidence that I've selected which confirms my worldview on the topic. I have done my own research (but not with a phone).
