So you recommend carrying a Phone, Camera, GPS device, music player, laptop, barometer, torch etc. instead of one Phone as long as all o/p in text.

(1) i never talked about text mode (2) i never talked about smartphones, which specifically occur in other threads. It's easy demolishing straw-men. Yet i don't want a car with a screen, i fridge with a clock, a watch with a microphone. I could go on for several pages. Btw are you serious with that barometer?

My phone is a worse music player than my 2007 iPod was. Less storage, much lower battery life, slower UI. It doesn't have streaming but the Euler diagram of 'times when I want to use a music player' and 'times when I don't have LTE' is almost circular.
