I feel the same way. I kind of miss my Wife's older oversized analog phone.
All it did was dial numbers. KISS keep it simple stupid.

LOL! You made me thing about our analog phone. It was a 3 Watt bag phone. I'm glad I don't have to carry that heavy monster around with me any longer. We still have it in the garage as we kept if for 911 when we RV'd. The battery for that thing weighed at least 10 times more than today's phones.

When I got verizon acct I asked for a basic phone with no camera or other junk. They did not even cary such a model and gave me a strange look because I wanted a basic only phone.

I did see at least 2 phones in the VZW store yesterday that didn't have cameras. This phone, the LG VX8300 and the last phone, the Moto V276 are camera phones. In the 20 months I had the V276 one photo was taken. My daughter took a photo of my granddaughter for wallpaper on the phone this July. With all the clutter on the screen of the Moto, one couldn't see the little girl anyway <g>.

I want a phone to make and receive calls. I'm not at all interested in listening to music or V-casts (whatever they are). I don't live in a major city so I'm not interested in the mapping stuff they now offer. If the GPS in the phone will help emergency services find me (a process that seems suspect), fine, but I don't need the bells and whistles. They just happen to come with the phone I wanted because it is supposed to get a stronger signal.
