Or -- Here's A REALLY Crazy Idea -- Don't Carry A Phone, Period
-
You know that your smartphone is distracting. You'd like to take a break from the noise once in a while. But do you need a totally stripped-down "dumb phone" with no apps, just basic calling and texts? The first edition of this phone sold about 10,000 units, and there's a new one that's sold 1,000 in an IndieGoGo campaign at $250 a piece. I mean, you CAN get yourself a cheap flip phone that'll do the same thing, probably cheaper. (Just checked; T-Mobile has an Alcatel flip phone for $75 total or $3 a month, and Metro PCS has two models for $29). Here's a better idea: Take the phone you have, turn the ringer off, keep it in your pocket. (WFLA-TV/Tampa)
