John's Phone: a minimalist cell phone

But in that case (if SMS is necessary), why is this phone a good idea at all? There are good old-fashioned simple and cheap phones on the market. For example:

If it had SMS capability and a small display how would this John's phone be better than for example Nokia 1100?

Maybe you can start the loudspeaker on a call without staring at the screen while it's dialing :-)
