"Do you have it ironically?" a woman new to Brooklyn asked about my
distinctly not-smart phone
By Randyn Charles Bartholomew
In the early summer of last year, after I'd gone into a few stores
that didn't have anything dumb enough, a T-Mobile rep located a
Kyocera flip phone somewhere in their shop's back room. I don't think
he had sold this model to someone under 60 before. Once he gave up
trying to upsell me, he seemed amused. Even before the SIM card was
in, flipping the new device open and closed brought back memories of
how visceral, how tactile, it was to end calls with a snap. No more
dabbing the screen with my thumb.
