Yes, jmt, you are absolutely right. I don't see any value in a smart phone for me.
I don't text. Those who wish to communicate with me can make a phone call, they have my number. I have a Garmin in the car and one in the Jeep. Either one can be removed and installed in the motorhome when needed. I have an amateur radio in the Jeep, the motorhome, and in the house and the capability to install a CB radio in each.
My laptop computer has a docking station, keyboard, and monitor so it replaces the huge desktop, and I can take it with me in the motorhome.
If I want to take pictures, I have an excellent digital camera and two 35mm cameras. I do not use the camera in my cell phone.
Besides, I do not want my entire life entered into a single electronic gadget that is subject to loss, theft, damage, or being corrupted. I most assuredly LIKE having things spread around among several devices.
I am quite happy with my dumb phone. It makes and receives phone calls. THAT is all I want it to do. Shucks, I was very happy with my old Motorola bag phone. Yeah, it was a big old clunky thing, but it WORKED, and in some areas it was better than my little flip phone!
