What would make this perfect would be pairing it with a pay-as-you-go plan with no expiration date. Although I have a feeling that won't ever happen...

Pretty cool. Interested to know if there will be a space in the smartphone world for an intentionally-dumb-phone like this.

I'd buy a phone without all the bells and whistles. My current phone has a calendar, stopwatch, email, games, and web browser, all unusable because the screen is the size of a postage stamp and there is no attached keyboard. But it makes phone calls pretty well and that's all I want in a phone.
