Anti-Smartphone Phone Launched For Technophobes

geek4 writes "A Dutch company has launched what it calls 'the world's simplest phone,' targeting users who are sick of new-generation models. Only capable of making and receiving calls, John's Phone is dubbed the world's simplest mobile phone, specifically designed for anti-smartphones users. It does not provide any hi-tech features. No apps. No Internet. No camera. No text messaging. All you have to do — in fact, all you can do — is call, talk and hang up."

    you spend your days choosing to name your digital presence relative to my given name, and contribute nothing but ignorance and hypocrisy. i spend my days actually being me. do you NEED to be me? OR do you simply NEED to NOT BE YOURSELF?

    you're completely pathetic.

    considering my wife and every child of mine has an iphone, you're an idiot. considering it takes a "smart" device capable of connecting to a worldwide network allowing VOIP communication simply to post comments, i obviously qualify to point out you're an ignorant hypocrite.

    ur mum's face don't really qualify for a smartphone, no do you?

    there will NEVER be a market for it UNTIL A PRODUCT FITTING THE MARKET IS AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE.

    i have ONE voice. i am michael kristopeit.

    you are an anonymous coward who hides in my shadow. you have no voice.
