You don't "need" anything except food, shelter, and clothing. I don't "need" a smart phone. I use mine as an information service and PDA. I've been told that I should get a dumbphone since I'm doing it wrong.
Actually, you need a cell. Ever try to find a payphone downtown? Most are either missing from their little house or they are broken. Phone books are damaged or missing, so you often need the web.
And if your livelihood depends on email and text messages; not to mention, phone calls, you need a cell.
You do not need a cell at home, but you then need to pay for a home phone. Why bother with that if you have a cell?
Sadly, it is not the consumer that decided if you require a cell, it is the phone company and the rats that screw up the pay phones for the rest of us.
Why do you "deserve" the "best" anyway?
Deserve is such a tough word. I "deserve" the best because I worked my behind off to get to a point where I can afford the best. My station in life will not accept also rans.
I gave up quite a bit to get there, so the best is my reward.
The word "best" is also a tough word. As you will likely gather, one can never say his or her device or product is the best.
I have owned many things long considered to be the best. Leica and Hasselblad cameras, 25-30 YO single malt scotch, ten to fifteen dollar cigars, a very nice place to live and vintage port. Indian Chief motorcycles and top of the line amateur radio equipment.
These things seem to be proven to be the best, depending how you want to define the word Best.
We all deserve the best we can afford, but whatever those things might be, it also depends upon what we think we deserve and if we deserve the best.
