Smartphones - I run a total and complete ban policy regarding smartphones. Will not get one now, nor anytime in the future. I have a WLAN tablet, with a map application. It works via passive GPS and stored offline map data. No Google service allowed that go beyond what I inevitably have to accept when running Android - and that already is much more than what would be needed to operate a tablet.
Google & Co suck.

Many thing google does makes the life easer.
Yes it comes at the price of privacy because there is no other way.
Many people actually like it this way.
The solution against it if you are hardcore is rooting the phone and installing ROM/OS with no google app.
Not very difficult to do.
