    As the owner of a Nokia C1-01 I was wondering how many other unsmart phones are out there. I have it about 5 years, the screen is cracked, but until it conks out, I'm keeping it. :p

    The term the industry uses now for non-smartphones is 'Feature Phones'. You can imagine them brainstorming the name "How can we name these while not emphasising their lack of features in comparison to smartphones?" :D

    I use a Nokia 220, also with a cracked screen, it does the job and only has to be charged a couple of times a week.

    "Feature phones" eh? I thought it would be something like Phones for Dummies or Stupid Phones. I bet some marketing crowd got paid bucketloads to come up with that slogan. :cool:

    Sagem my400X, approx 10 year old at this stage. I did put it aside for a year or so when I had a 'semi' smart phone, but I went back to the Sagem. It sends texts, makes calls, has an alarm clock and battery life of almost a week!

    I dont need, nor want to be connected to FB or the internet all the time, dont want apps or widgets; my life is perfectly fine without all that stuff.

    Nice one croppy boy, and whiskey. So I'm not alone in resisting all the latest shiny touch screen yokes. I agree about not needing to be constantly available or online. Half the time I don't even know where I left the phone, though that could be age...:D
