Really not sure where to put this, so forgive me if this isn't the ideal location.
I sometimes don't get all the fuss about smartphones. Ok, maybe my situation is a bit special since I hardly need to travel around and in general working with anything other than a full-scale laptop or desktop drives me crazy because of how less efficiently I work from, say a tablet or smartphone.
What I'd really love and immediately shell out money for is when they invent a painless way to simply buy a SIM card, pay for basic service and stick the SIM card into your computer. I can't stand working without a mouse and keyboard. All these touchscreen apps just are not efficient for me, a pertinent example is that I can type much faster than I can text. My computer runs faster than any phone I have ever owned or probably will ever own. Right-clicking and that sort of stuff on these smart devices often requires pressing and maintaining contact for a second or two. Not much for the average user, perhaps, but these things add up over time. Nothing, absolutely nothing about smartphones is appealing enough for me to make the investment.
My problem is that certain apps are only designed for Android/iOS and therefore it isn't easy to use them with a PC. When will this change?
The point of this post is to appeal to any of you out there who know of good ways to connect SIM cards to computers. Haha, preferably without having to invest in the darn smartphone in the first place. I currently live and work in the same building. Spend most of my time confined to this space with great wifi access. When I do go out, it's to play sports, or do essential shopping and I tend to leave my phone behind anyway. It bothers me that I am sitting in front of large monitor every day, backed up by much a much more powerful processor, graphics and whatnot, and the trend these days is to "force" these mini devices on us. Oh please, help me find a way to avoid this so-called revolution.
A smart phone really isn't for me.
Best case scenario - ability to directly use SIM with powerful computer without needing a smartphone.
Thanks for reading and I look forward to either discussion or potential solutions.
Why hasn't someone made a computer that can directly connect a SIM card and can run Android or something like that as well as Windows? If tablets can directly "accept" SIM cards, why oh why can't the most basic of laptops do it? Is it just a marketing ploy to force us to buy more products?
Sigh. 🙁
