[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1550958, member: 110816"] Say the iPhone 5C or any other current smart phone does exactly what you want, the only way you are going to able to use it for a lengthy period of time like 5 years (yes, in technology land, 5 years is quite long) is to keep the phone at the current OS level and not upgrade. While this might work for a couple of years, the problem will become that being a smart phone, you'll want to start using some new application (it's always the app that causes you grief, not the device or the OS) which will require a more recent version of the OS since developers are not going to support older versions of the OS for a long period of time. Now, the newer versions of the OS will demand more from the, now, dated phone hardware and you end up with diminished performance and frustration that things are slow. So the realistic expectation is that you will use your smart phone for 2 (maximum 3 years) from the date of purchase and you will almost definitely want to upgrade to the, then, current generation phone at that point. The upgrade is inevitable.. Trying to compare your flip phone that you got 7 years out of to a smart phone is futile.. [/QUOTE]
