I am actively avoiding buying a smartphone because I wouldn't like to (descending priority):

  • spend my time fiddling with it
  • spend my mental energy fiddling with it
  • spend money on toys
  • charge a phone every day (my phone lasts a week)
  • be unable to read display at all times (my phone has very readable b/w display; shows time in large digits when idle)

I currently have Nokia 1208, which retailed for €25. One might consider newer Nokia 1280 as an upgrade, which has FM radio with 3.5mm headphone jask and RRP of €20. Personally, I find 1208's build quality more appealing, and it's thinner as well and has different style keyboard, but this is a matter of taste, probably.

What am I missing?
