I used a Nokia 208 for about 8 months last year, coming from a Moto G, and leaving to a Nexus 6.<p>Battery life was the best part by far. My phone wouldn&#x27;t need to touch a charger more than every other day. One feature that I was glad to not be without was tethering-- it has a 3g radio, and after some setup I got tethering working on my laptop.<p>The part that I didn&#x27;t like was not having a GPS and Camera. I used a sansa clip for my music, but I don&#x27;t have a standalone camera or GPS. I wonder if I would have enjoyed sticking with a dumb-phone if I had bought a Garmin eTrex and a DSLR instead of a Nexus.<p>That&#x27;s something that I think we take for granted with our smartphones: They&#x27;re really not that good at what we use them for. My sansa clip has 128gb of storage and plays my FLAC library flawlessly, gets days of battery life, and is convenient for exercising. A DSLR will knock the socks off my Nexus 6&#x27;s camera. An eTrex has enough battery life and precision to make sure I never get lost, and can be loaded with OSM data-- no internet required.<p>I think generally speaking, you know when you&#x27;re going to want to take a photo, or be navigated via gps, or listen to music. So why not take the route that allows you to experience those tasks at their best?<p>I can&#x27;t speak much for the social effects of it. I didn&#x27;t feel any more in-the-moment.
