- komali2 8y agoI would love to do this, but it's untenable to me as a traveler. Too many times has my smartphone saved my ass at the airport, when I'm hopelessly lost in backroads, when I'm trying to sort public transit, etc. If google maps, email (for flight tickets), and a dead simple browser (enough to check in to my flights) could be put on a "dumb" phone, I'm sold.
- JoshMnem 8y agoI spent about 10 years on and off on the road and didn't have any phone at all for most of it. There are non-smartphone ways to do those things. Edit: if you calculate the total time wasted by smartphones in general with the total time saved by checking in to flights on a smartphone, the phone is wasting a lot of time (not to mention the detrimental cognitive effects).
