I can understand that impulse. I find that I'm using my phone less and less over time, as I find the whole "install our app!!! check in with our server!!! let us track your location!!!" ecosystem increasingly irritating and just don't want to deal with it. I check my email, I send and receive texts, I kill time on the web, and that's about it. Sometimes I call a car with Uber or Lyft, too, but it turns out that http://m.uber.com http://m.uber.com actually works better than Uber's app, and punching my address in is a small enough irritation that I generally just leave location services disabled.
Entering text hasn't gotten to be any less of a chore over time and browsing the web through a telescope hasn't gotten any less tiresome, but people have gotten more clever about exploiting the mobile web, and I just... well, I say, "fuck off, ad industry, I'll find something else to do rather than put up with you".
But I'm lazy, so I'm still using my Moto X, and it's not easy to figure out what kind of featurephone would be able to do what I wanted without irritating me, so my next phone will also more than likely be yet another smartphone whose features I mostly ignore.
