A smartphone, you mean.

Personally I do have a smartphone that I rarely use, but my everyday telephone is a good ol' Nokia[1] that does what it is supposed to do (telephone and SMS) just fine.

[1] smaller, lighter than any smartphone and three or more days worth of battery

> A smartphone, you mean

I actually mean a mobile phone, because I don't know anyone who only has a "dumb" phone. A know a few people didn't have a smartphone for a while, but they've all got one now.

Maybe some of my great aunts don't have a smartphone, but everyone else I know between the ages of 11 and 70 does have a smartphone with WhatsApp installed on it.
