Old and Out of Touch
I try to some extent to keep current with the latest technologies, but when it comes to mobile phones I am so 1990s. I just use mine to talk to people. I don't text. I've never taken a picture with the camera that's on my phone. I haven't downloaded any ringtones. I don't do online content, music, or videos. And I have no desire to do any of those things. I'm a luddite, out of touch fogey. So I probably won't get into this, but it's a cool idea.

I'm right there with you (but is that surprising? we're the same generation after all). When I go to buy a cell phone I'm looking for only two things: signal quality and battery life. I've used the camera on my phone, but only because it's there. And I've done some texting, but only because I'm surrounded by twenty-somethings and that's the way they communicate. But to me, a phone is a phone, and I can't really ever see myself surfing the web or reading comic books on it. If I'm going to read a comic book, it'll be on paper. I don't really enjoy reading anything longer than a blog post on a computer screen--even at full size.
Signal quality and battery life--exactly.
My phone doesn't have a camera or a color screen and I don't have text messaging. I refuse to get one that does. If people want to talk to me, they can call me or come to my house.
