Holy Mary mother of Mattis! I've bought cars for less than that and got probably more use out of them than the average lifespan of a smartphone.

My new Nokia cost less than £20 last Christmas and that was with a tenner 'credit' (of which I've still got £6)

On the other hand, a lot of people (Like Mrs SJ) only want something to make calls and send texts from and couldn't care less about all the other gizmos.

A surprising number of fellow dumbphone users. Thought I was the only one, or at least the only one of all the people i'm personally acquainted with.

Mine's off more than on. Always off when I am at home. Quite often it's off when I am not at home too.
Can't stand people interrupting my day - unless it is for a genuine emergency.

My android phone tracked my ride this morning, I also took a couple of pictures with it. If I'm on holiday and have my phone with me the MP3 player stays at home, I've got my music collection on the phone. If I'm travelling by bus or train it helps pass the hours, I've got either internet or music to listen to. it's also a good source of information. I rarely make phone calls or send a text though. Its a useful piece of kit.

This isn't a smart phone bashing thread. They're not my thing, but ive no objection to people that have them (and use them sensibly).
However, I do fear the day when the sat Navy, PGS, cameras, MP3 players etc become so rare, and thus so expensive, I'll be forced to get a smartphone. Mrs D thinks within 5 years BTW.

Oh the irony of people using the internet to moan about smartphones.
