If you recall, the adorably simple, no-nonsense John’s Phone only makes phone calls. There’s no texting, no music, and no colour LCD. It’s address book is a pen and paper attached to the back. Here’s a video of it being unboxed.
Is it wrong for me to want something so delightfully useless? [BuzzFeed]

not a true unboxing IMO
still, it’s almost there when it comes to simplicity.
Also, where would you get new books from.
And the pen is too small for old people.
I would also include a free stick-on curley cord to go with it… that way you can still pretend that your using a phone attached to a wall.
All and all, i’d get one just so i could force people to ring me. muhahahaha
