Default If this was a decade ago...

And all mobile phones could do was call and text, would you actually see any point in having one? Do you use them to call and text or for some other, more modern/smartphone purposes? Or both?

I suppose even before smartphones as we know them now came out, some decent apps were included quite a while before that so they weren't just 'bricks' that could do two simple tasks. Anything prior to 2004/3 would count probably.

Yes I would still have one and would as I do with my phones now, try to avoid using them as much as possible. I really don't like them to be honest.

i think if you are younger or into i,t, then you go down the smart phone route, older people tend to have a mobile phone's for emergency's, some only use them for work.
