@stux I asked someone something similar a few days ago.
What point is too far and we really do push back into the flip phone?
Can we even do that anymore? Are the networks still viable?
Verizon a long time ago, forced me into a smart phone. They said it was a requirement because of tower coverage. This was a hundred years ago back into the iPhone 2 or 4 at least. Probably 10yrs or more?
I use my smart phone like crazy but with the amount of overreach that is constantly happening from every avenue - I certainly don't know how much longer I can justify it.
