The Brooklyn-based startup Light has set an impossible goal of getting people to put down their smartphones.

 

Light launched in 2014 and a year later debuted its first product, the Light Phone. It could only make calls and tell the time, and the company described it as a "quite a smart 'dumb' phone."

 

Light intended for it to be something of a companion to your smartphone and a way to get people to leave their phones at home and go enjoy life.

 

Now, Light is back with its second product, the Light Phone 2, an upgraded version of its phone that might just replace your smartphone for good.

I Love It!!!

So I was basically ahead of the curve with the way I use my "Smartphone"...

Overpriced for what it is.  A feature(less) flip phone can do the same thing but better.

Though I suppose using the keypad for texting can be annoying.  That might encourage people to actually talk to each other though.  No wonder people hate it!
