I was an early adopter of smart phones, getting the Treo as soon as hit the market. When my 3 year contract expired, I downgraded to a dumb phone and, eventually, to a prepaid dumb phone. I have no desire to get an iPhone or an Android and much less any desire to pay the bills that come with those. Life is very much feasible. You just use your memory a little more. I have a GPS in the car and I should get a book of maps (I had a big scare driving in rural Wisconsin, when the GPS routed me incorrectly through some minor road).

One of the reasons I downgraded at the time was the size of the smart phones. They are still bigger than a flip phone. I place my cell phone in the seat bag. While a smart phone fits, it takes more space and it is more fragile. Cost was the other one. And the third one was that, quite frankly, I have enough access to email and the internet without a smart phone.
