  1. They are designed to be assembled by robots and/or low wage workers. They are not meant to be repaired, just used up, thrown out and replaced.

  2. They ain't what they used to be. The brand names we grew up to know and trust have been sold to big conglomerates, which make crap and sell it under the brand that used to mean quality.

I use a "dumb" phone and couldn't be happier. I swear I'm tempted to go back to a touch-tone phone for the house and drop using a cell phone altogether.

I wish I could. I really need the functions of a new phone for work. I honestly hate being in contact 24/7.

Touch-tone? I'm down for rotary.

I memeber when the phone company charged me extra to keep a rotary functioning on my line. Those assholes!
