Why a smartphone may not be the best choice for everyone

Smartphones are hitting the mainstream market. And that means old and young want a piece of the action. But at more than $1,000 per year for service, a smartphone may not be the best choice for every consumer.


In this edition of Ask Maggie, I help a reader decide if he should get his parents smartphones or if he should spare them the hefty monthly service fees and get them new basic feature phones. I also help another reader decide if there is a less-expensive alternative to Verizon that will allow him to keep his unlimited data plan.

#1 a piece of the action 那句話到底是什麼意思?
我上網查了一下,找到了一堆電影名稱歌詞,還是體會不出其含義

#2" if he should get his parents smartphones "
根據前後文,我猜他的意思是"是否該幫他的父母購買智慧型手機",但如我硬是要我照字面翻,會翻成"是否要拿他父母的智慧手機"!?
