For those that resist giving up their flip phone...
Saw this Dilbert comic and it reminded me of members of RV.net who insist they don't need/want a smartphone and that their flip phone does everything they need. Dilbert comic

No phone - smart or not - must be answered. That is a mental thing. My iPhone puts calls direct to voice mail between what hours I choose for what callers I choose, won't even ring. With 128 gig on iPhone 6 and replacement sd storage on many androids you are not any more likely to run out of storage than any other device. The advantage of a device that is always with you is pretty obvious versus the device at home. Many cheaper versus one more expensive is a personal choice I guess. A waterproof case fixes the creek issue unless it's the Columbia river.
That great memory amount you mention will just hold my music and nothing else. No books, no photos, no games, no apps.
The point of the creek comment is simply that if all your devices are tied up into one device and it breaks or gets lost, you lose the use of all the devices.
Of the people I know who have smart phones, only about 1/3 actually use it for more than texting, email and calls. For trhose who want them that's great - but those that don't aren't dinosaurs or dumb, they are doing what they want despite the marketing.
