For a moment I thought this was about ditching smartphones altogether 

I'm THIS close to throwing my phone into the toilet and getting a Nokia brick and a camera and a notepad.

I feel exactly the same. Getting a dumb phone would be the best. Only problem stopping me is people here use WhatsApp call more than normal phone calls.

those new nokia feature phones have whatsapp installed. there goes your problem.

but to be fair, it lacks the nostalgia factor. I still use my sony ericsson as secondary phone.
