As evidenced by a piece highlighted at Slashdot, many consumers are eschewing the all singing, all dancing mobile device in favour for something that does a simple job and does it well.

I can only concur with these findings.

I'm in the market for a mobile phone at the moment - my T68i, purchased almost as soon as they came out, is just beginning to get a little long in the tooth. Four years is a long time in technology, and particularly for mobile phones, but I haven't upgraded it because I don't need to.

It does everything I need, it works in the US, has Bluetooth for syncing with my Mac, and has survived thousands of miles of trips, including the entirely vertical drop down through three floors of the mall in Toronto, courtesy of my wife. It's also small enough that it even fits into the change pocket my jeans.
