I must be old.
Phones are for phoning people.
I can barely see the screen, even with my glasses on.

[bmugford]

I use a combo of desktop/laptop and phone. I am not sure how just using a phone is really that practical for some things.

I Used to do domaining in a Workstation with 2 Monitors, But Now I use 2 laptops . And I use phone to get a reminders about an up coming auction and of course to see if I got an email.

I mean...I'm guessing most people use their Desktop/Laptop & Mobile phones on the go? I guess that would be considered a "tool" like you said. I'd be surprised if anybody serious about domaining doesn't own or operate a laptop or computer. I guess some people don't, makes sense.

I couldn't imagine doing all my deals and communication and marketplace setup via mobile phone only. It can be done though.

funny i felt exactly like bout fones...then i tried one... maybe u should too there is something oddly addictive yet beautiful...about ruling yer online world and domaining venturea from palm of yer hand...the freedom of portability..size... seems to surpaases the several disadvantages

lol, well enjoy- and congrats on your new found tech.
it's just, I work with phones all day, integral part of my day job for last 12 years.
and.. nooo..make it stop , starting to get the shakes and shivers again just thinking about my phone...

 

[J Sokol]

I use laptop and desktop about 50/50. My phone is for texting, talking and taking photos.

To be honest, I don't 'domain' in the sense many domainers here do.
I have a portfolio that is mostly almost 20 years old, so if something needs to be done, it can wait till I log on from the comfort of my desk when I choose to do so.

Heck ya!
In fact, practically anything tech related can wait till I get home.. lol.

If necessary, I carry a tiny mobile phone from 2005 around with me that literally takes up less space in my pocket than my keys. It's rarely on, and when I get home my wife is always like "didn't you get my text??"

 

[Keral_Patel]

I don't use my "fone"

I use some old broken calculators, some broken screen smartphones and my fridge connected as cloud to host my website and I like to call it a "cloud"

Anyway back to the topic. I use Desktop PC. Nothing beats it yet.

 

[CraigD]

trust me if u use something for 20 to 30yrs its cause u do enjoy it... i guess the need for more mobility first made me switch to laptop...then cloudready os messing my wifi with their new updates made me switch to fone... but even without mobility needs..there is something amazing about typing this while waiting for cofee in kitchen...vs being bound to desktop... or bit less but also to laptop ..really with each passing day on fone im wondering why i was denying myself all this freedom and portability... a huge heavy deaktop stuck in one place..really... why... i now hold the world and the net in my hand...everywhere i go... i mean how is this possibly beatable

You may regret it in a few years when you realize that you have become addicted to that smart-phone and cannot go an hour without checking on it

A phone, a desktop and a server. Different devices are best suited for different things, while some activities (like negotiating via mail) are pretty much device-agnostic. Generally I spend most of my domaining time in the console and in the browser with gazillion open tabs.

 

[tldboss]

Voted mix. I use phone, tablet and desktop.

Roughly
Phone 10%, tablet 10% and desktop 80%

Rarely, use laptop for domaining, less than 1%. I use my phone when I am out. These days I frequently bid using my phone on Godaddy and other marketplace auctions.

Portfolio management is mostly on the desktop.

Using only a phone would be impractical for me. Phones are excellent tools for communication, but ineffective for build.

I feel like a dinosaur using my phone instead of my laptop.

 

[NickB]

Laptop 75% of the time....the rest is on the phone

Haven't owned a desktop in 15+ years......

I can see your point though- freedom of portability, particularly for domaining on the go. Maybe your in a spot with your domains where all ducks in a row? So for being able to quickly respond to sellers or manage a sale, or keeping tabs on an auction or two, rather then waiting to get back to the desktop hours later to do so. Otherwise though, for the "bigger picture" stuff (in the figurative and literal sense), just won't do.

[DomainVP]

The only time I use a phone for domaining is to set a timer when I need to be at my desktop/laptop for an auction.

 

[April004]

I use smartphone/tablet while searching random domains in auctions/expired list.
but when it comes to serious buying/registering then my only choice is desktop. I've a big 27 inch screen

 

[CraigD]

I guess no one does serious business on tablets - especially buying expensive domains.

39 votes is hardly indicative of the wider community
I take all polls with a grain of salt.

i think one thing we can all agree..is future is all about smaetphones... its unlikely theyll be even making deaktopa or laptops say 20yrs from now....heck maybe even 10yrs.....

Well sounds to me even though you used a PC for 20 years, you didn't necessarily enjoy it. If that's the case, then yep mobile is the way for you.

Power users will never let the PC go obsolete, lol. Besides, we need stuff bigger, not smaller in terms of visualization. Otherwise, perhaps reconsider how much you truly do enjoy tech..

So if anything, mobile screens will give way to cute little holo, and desktops to sweet sweet haptic.
