I'd pay a lot of money for a medium-smart phone: one which has only the essentials like calling, Google maps, email, camera, and maybe Uber. I'm not on Facebook but I have a horrid news reading addiction. I only keep a smartphone because I don't want to lug around a separate GPS unit, dumbphone, and camera. And because it's actually as cheap to have a smartphone on Project Fi as it is to have a dumbphone on the cheapest provider. Ugh. I don't want a smartphone which makes me such a consumer of mindless news and entertainment! But here we are...fighting the good fight, trying to avoid wasting time on a device which seems to encourage it.
