Minimalist Cell Phones?

Posted by Cliff on from the dirt-cheap-dialing dept.

Trizor asks: "Most cellular telephones these days are loaded with features: cameras, broadband quality video, Internet, etc. but there are still people who want to just make phone calls.

    Address books are the work of the devil. You and your new fangled bloating features.

    A list of the submissions that didn't make the cut.

    My black and white TV is good enough. Is there a model out there without all of these newfangled technologies like color and stereo sound?

    My '57 BelAir gets me from point A to point B just fine... problem is... nobody makes parts for it anymore. Can anyone recommend a similar car without power steering and respectable milage?

    Bla bla bla...
