Good post. I would have stayed with a basic flip phone forever if I could have found one with a decent CALENDAR, but sadly, that meant moving to a smartphone. I can't say I'm unhappy, I happen to love my Eris, and I use the data all the time now. But some of the features people want aren't available on simple-feature phones. I think they need to develop some nicer simple feature phones, but then instead of giving them away for FREE put a reasonable price tag on them.
