It really is a strange market niche to aim for... People who don't want to use a smartphone but want to own a smartphone... Is it even there at all?

I know people who don't like phones and they buy the minimum phone necessary to suit the need... A £30 handset on a top up based tariff.

I don't know people who will spend a lot of money on a phone they intend to use as little as possible.

"People who don't want to use a smartphone but want to own a smartphone"

I think that sums up a lot of the Blackberry owners I know. Company mandates a smartphone, but employees want to use it as little as possible.
