Have You Ever Considered a Dumbphone or Do You Currently Use One? (beehaw.org)

I had a dumb phone until around 2011 and I really miss not staring at my phone all of the time. The only thing that gives me pause is my family sending links via text. I've tried other ways to limit screen time but if it's there I'm gonna use it.

No, I'm not addicted to my phone (I hardly use it) so I don't really see the point in giving up so much functionality. I really need GPS and dumb phones don't really offer that. I've been using smartphones since the Palm OS days with my Treo 600.
