One with real buttons, just enough screen to display a telephone number, and a real mouthpiece and earpiece.
You know, to work as a telephone. That is all I want or need. I am perfectly happy with my (I think) "2-G" flip-phone right now but I guess that goes pfft in a month or two.
No camera. No web browser. No stupid touch-screen. (I worked on touch screens from 1984 to 1990 and they were a horrible idea for most purposes then and still are.) Instead a battery life in months, since it's almost always turned off anyway.
Looks like I'll just go back to not having one, like for the first thirty years of my life. =shrug=
