No, but my old one still works, unlike my last 8 smart phones.

And still you use the smart phones daily, not the 'working' Nokia.

It's not binary. Robustness is something we lost. Yes, I am more happy (maybe? Perhaps I now just have another way to waste my time and be interrupted) with my smartphone, but I (we) lost something in the transition. That's the point; you're adding complexity and some people want to pretend that there's no trade off.

I agree, there is always a trade-off, and it is good to make it as explicit as possible.
