Which dumbphone?

[alpha1]

But how will you defend yourself without a notebook sized bric..I mean phone to throw at the mob?!

LOL.
Seriously, though I hate Blackberry, but I admire it for one reason - it still offers QWERTY keypad, and the size hasn't increased.

the bigger ones make u carry , laptop alike device -- no laptop needed that is the benefit.

u need or not that is a 2nd case

Of course I DON'T require it!
And most people also don't. It's only after they buy, they try to find the reasons ...
