I don't see what's wrong with owning it for entertainment, and I don't see where the stress comes from. Maybe it's more entertaining than useful to be able to go to wikipedia whenever I have an argument or want to settle a bet, but that doesn't mean it's not worthwhile.
Owning something for entertainment is only wrong (looks like irrational behavior for me) if one claims otherwise.
Stress comes from having additional personal computer in possession, which one has to manage, charge, mentally track location of (e.g. not lose) and respond to. Granted, dumbphone also has the above properties (and I'm regularly thinking if it is wise to have a cellphone at all), but to a limited extent.
