  Agreed.
  
  This was part of the charm on the old green screen lcd mobiles back in the day.

  Still exists in the iOS app store. You can even choose "which" old Nokia phone you want to play it on.

  When my father got his first mobile, he kept it in it's case. Inside the case he put lots of little bits of paper with peoples' telephone numbers on as he didn't know how to enter them into the phone's contact list.

  Unless you're providing presidential security, you do not need a bluetooth ear piece when doing the shopping in Sainsburys.
