I used to have one of those bag phones. My doctor told me to get rid of it - I crushed the metatarsal bones in my right foot when I dropped it there one day ;)

Your point is correct though - the old phones were also trivially easy to turn on or off.

I've always thought that the bag phone I have would also make a nice weapon, it's that heavy. I mostly keep it in the car and it's only costing me $8/month on a prepaid plan to keep it active (I might use it for 10-15 minutes a month, if that).
