Agreed.
I don't have a SmartyPantsPhone. I have a simple, new 2021
Samsung Rugby 4 (AT&T) Flip Phone, free from AT&T. Because all I do is *make & take* calls; nothing more. I've disabled all texting, messaging, email, Net usage, but do have a nice number of Utilities available, if I ever want them.
It quickly synchs Bluetooth with my Jeep's phone system, and that's just fine and dandy. And that's enough.
I've got a smart phone. I do use it for email and texting and phone calls. I even have a game or two on there.
However, I never have it out when I am out eating, or with other people in general. I find that behavior quite rude and insulting.
