I am extremely tempted to do this, but I also benefit from simple positive features like contact syncing, notes, grocery list syncing, calendar syncing, and a few other utilities.
I've decided to try one of those micro-smartphones, hoping the small screen will be fine for calendars but miserable for email & web surfing.
Sometimes I think what I really need is WiFi but no data. Sync on the nightstand, but no data connectivity out and about.
- aith 9y agoGot some examples of these micro phones? Sounds interesting! Edit: This is from a Kickstarter - Super cheap and fits the bill https://www.amazon.com/Unihertz-Smallest-Smartphone-Android-Unlocked/dp/B0752CMXJM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1508172337&sr=8-3&keywords=small+smartphones https://www.amazon.com/Unihertz-Smallest-Smartphone-Android-...

- sliverstorm 9y agoHuh I'd think Android would suck up 10MB in minutes doing random useless stuff. No ability to turn mobile data completely off for all BUT one or two apps.
- misev 9y agoIt works just fine for me, I've never gone above the 10MB. "Restrict background data" on my Android 4.1 on each app/service does the trick.
