Just a Phone?
LiquidCoooled writes "Vodafone in the UK have released a mobile phone which caters to those people craving a simple handset. For far too long we have been overpowered by extras we don't need; this looks to be a very nice solution. These phones feature a large format screen and buttons and a simple interface making this phone more accessible to a larger audience." I'd sure prefer better sound and simpler menus to the useless camera and gimmicks built into my current phone.
So the marketing message here is that this is a phone than can be used even by complete morons?
as a telephone to talk to people. I don't use my landline much, but haven't dropped it yet.
as a text pager. My system monitors and trouble report mail addresses all route to my phone.

I really don't get why people are always bitching about the lack of basic phones anyway.
And that's why you'll always be poor.
