No, you're running with the celebs

If I were a celebrity (or at least if I had the money most celebrities
do) I would have a smart phone. The main reason I don't is the monthly
cost of having one.

They don't cost any more than regular phones, and they've been getting dumber,
because you can't get them with proper keypads any more.


Their monthly cost is *much* more than dumb phones--at least the dumb
phone service I use, which, as I said earlier, costs me $10 a *year*.
