Dinosaur here, and proud of it.
When I agree with the flip-phone crowd (well mine doesn't flip, but it is dumb and is hardly ever "on".) why do all you "eyes glued to the phone" set think I don't use all the services of the internet?
Every single function you all have described on this thread is available to me on my laptop or desktop computer, and I use them every day for hours. I prefer my 23 inch screen to the piddly thing on a smartphone.
When I watch my kids messing with their phones and they show me the latest and greatest "app", it's clear to me that the phone will do a whole bunch of things, but most all of them are not done as well as the gadget designed for the task.
So yes, I use a Camera, a GPS at times, a Kindle, and my Laptop/Desktop. And also a watch, and a map.
Dinosaurs are not Luddites.
