They should bring back PHONES.

I don't know if I actually need a computer that is better at the COMPUTER part than the PHONE part.

They make plenty of 'dumbphones'. They sell them at Walmart/Best Buy/Amazon so they're not exactly hard to find. If you don't want a smartphone why are you spending 10x the price of the thing you want?

Are you really having trouble with call quality? Unless I'm so far out in the sticks I don't have signal at all it hasn't been a noticeable consideration in years personally.
