I also use a flip phone but I never had a smartphone to compare it to (other than temporarily connecting a TracFone for GPS when I travel). I walk a lot and see so many people with their head pinned to their phone, and I've almost been hit 3 times from people flying through stop signs while texting in the middle of the day.

You end up using it as a phone, but they also support texting too which makes you capable of communicating with everyone else in a pretty normal way.
