I have my Nokia still going strong; but sadly they're killing the last GSM network in Canada next year and I won't have anything to connect it to. I like telephone calls a lot of the time, I use them about as often as text messages.
Next year I might need to buy a phone which is about 12 times as expensive, has worse signal reliability, and which has a battery which will last me literally one 14th the time my current one does, and which will take up about twice the space in my pocket, and it will be a shattering liability every time I take it with me. All the while, it will have so much software on it and so much attack surface that I will need to stay abreast of hundreds upon hundreds of megabytes of updates twice a month (at least) just so that people don't commit fraud with my identity.
Seriously, screw this noise, get me out of here.
