What's a sandy phone? handy??

I like not having a smart phone. I used to do it strictly because of the additional cost, but now I also enjoy feeling like the last "real person" in many places. Restaurants, airports, bars, wherever. It's enough that somebody can text me if I have my phone -- the last thing I need is to be expected to see an e-mail on the same device.
I'm gonna see how many more years I can go without it.
