Heh, I got my laugh in too... I was gonna reply, but elgee02 pretty much summed it up. Though I will add this:
1) Cell phones (at least where I sell them) aren't that expensive, even for ones that have a lot of functionality. Can you afford about $40? How about those "new-fangled" RAZRs that are made just for us "technojunkies"? They're free.
2) It's ironic that I read about this: while I've always had customers (usually middle-aged to seniors) who want "just a phone, nothing fancy." And just 3 days ago, I had a customer specifically ask me for a phone with big buttons and a big font for the screen. Now that I see this, I think, "wow, I guess Verizon's aware that that's a popular demand."
