Design and execution count.

If I have to wait 30 seconds for my phone to get out of its own way each time I desire to accomplish a task (camera, map application, web access), am I actually going to use it for those things, or do I now have a dumbphone with more things that can break?

True, but consider this from the shitphone piece...

"Things had gradually become slower. They rarely came to a full stop, but they got close. Complicated websites in particular were hard for shitphone. I found myself blaming the websites."

Maybe you would just stop going to horribly designed mobile websites, and you wouldn't be much worse off.
