Have you heard of John's Phone? They're for sale in Europe, but I wonder if they'll start selling them here? [linkie fixed now. Apparently I have Captain Tightpants on the brain. Or the link was just in there for some reason. Anyhoo.]
You can dial calls and take calls. You can turn it off. You can save numbers on a paper pad with a little pen in the back of the phone. You can turn it off. It has a volume dial, but most importantly, you can turn it off. No texty-texty. No alarm-clocks, farmville apps or lawn-mower attachments. Just a phone.

A phone you can turn off.
Ah, nostalgia.
[***my Palm phones could not be turned off. Was infeeYOOriating.]
I don't no about you but I turn my phone off all the time. Just because I have cell phone doesn't mean I have to make myself available 24/7.
ReplyDeleteIf you get the voice mail leave a message (or not) and I call you when I feel like talking to you.
Have a nice day,
Josh
Ah, the good old days... :-)
ReplyDeleteFunny! The anti-iPhone.
ReplyDeleteps. I forgot to add this to the post to turn of your iPhone holed the power button for about 5 sec a power off slider will appear.
ReplyDelete:-)
Yeah, these days, at least, you can turn any phone off.
ReplyDelete(I find an alarm clock feature useful, myself. That way I don't need to carry another device when traveling or figure out an insanely stupid hotel phone, etc.
Dubious about the "paper pad for numbers", though. Set it down on a damp surface, and instead of just a damp case, you destroy your phone numbers?
Even my 20 year old Nokia lump phone had phone number storage...
There comes a point when you go past "no frills" to "ostentatiously feature-free in a way that's actually more annoying".)
The FAQ indicates John's Phone is quad band GSM so it should work on AT&T's network. You could probably even use a prepaid SIM.
ReplyDeleteNo cell phone is ever truly "off" unless you remove the battery. Just ask OJ.
I love it! ;-)
