I've never had a smartphone, and do not look forward to the day when the good old fashioned flip-phone is obsolete.
Several comments have already stated my reasons for not having a smartphone: battery life (3-4 days, easy), relative ruggedness, form factor, time management, and the fact the thing works--it does one thing, and does it well when I need it to.
One other reason is privacy. While my flip-phone can still be tracked by the phone company (GPS disabled, but tower pings), I don't have various companies tracking me through their apps. And, unlike a certain popular smartphone brand, I can remove my battery.
No, you're not a luddite.
