It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Depends on how much/far you ride. A smartphone can more or less do much of what a dedicated bike computer can do to varying degrees of success but the battery life is better, doesn't deplete your cell, and the computer will probably be more accurate when it comes to stuff like bike speed, trip tracking, etc.

Currently I just use my phone but there's plenty of times Google thinks I'm driving a car when I'm actually riding my bicycle, ebike, or even a board sometimes.
