Cell phones

So if 60% of those surveys use there phone as a phone only (nothing else, its a phone) why is it that basic phones with out all the crappy bells and wistles are getting harder and harder to find?
You can find all kinds of stupid phones that make "dorky noise". Power them up - they make dorky noise. Shut them down - more dorky noise. Do they ring? - no they just make another dorky noise. Text messaging? - really who cares. Kids that like to talk a lot about nothing maybe. Voice mail? - well ok it would be nice if they did not mix so much stuff in there that you got in confused with the text messaging and other crappy options. Oh ya and best of all - we are talking about a phone here! but yet they all come with 100 plus page manuals - like anyone but a real dork or some poor shmuck who has to for work is going to bother reading it! HELLO - Its a phone for most people!
