I totally get all of that.

But there are some who just want to be able to make a phone call.

We don't need a camera....we don't need maps.....we don't need texts or email or "notifications".....we don't need to store photos or documents.....and we don't need to surf the web.

All we want is to make or receive a phone call.

That's it.

In my primitive thinking.....in a perfect world, a cell phone should start off giving you a number pad as soon as you turn it on......and I shouldn't have to start pressing a bunch of other stuff to get to that number pad.

That number pad should already be there....just waiting for me to start hitting those numbers....anything else...is EXCESS BAGGAGE!

Mini-rant over......

I can sell you one of my old flip phones form 15 years ago. Still works and will pretty much do what you describe...
