Re: Flip phones & their users are evolutionary dead ends?
I volunteer at a seniors place, where I help the seniors out with all their computer, laptop, and phone problems. As far as I can tell, they all have smart phones. Though it is common for them to think that "smartphone" means an iPhone, everything else isn't a "smartphone".
Edit: For the record I usually carry a large smartphone, and a small dumb phone for actually making phone calls. The smartphone is for everything else.
