Only if you consider the camera to be the primary function of the phone.

I don’t.

I rarely use a camera for facebook. I’m not so vain that I’m constantly clicking selfies, and if twitter is for idiots...instagram is for idiots who can’t read.

This is not about taking "selfies," it's about taking photographs with phones. What you do with them is up to you?

My performance yardstick for a mobile phone is that it works effectively and allows clear wireless communication.
When I wish to take sharp photographs, I use a high-quality digital camera.

I'm very happy for those who like to ‘stay in touch’ and who are into the social media thing. Personally, I love anonymity. I like the idea of being unreachable at times. I like the idea of being able to say, “sorry, I was out of town and didn't receive your message” - instead of having everyone expect that you will receive their email and respond quickly, even if you are on Mars.

Further, selfies are just a reminder to me that reality is even worse than my already shaken self-image...
