[Electronics-Talk] Feature phones and smart phones [was "Re: LGflip phone [was "Re: Android Cellphones: Are They Worth It"]"] [Feature Phone]

[Jim Barbour]

A feature phone as a phone that does not have all the capabilities of a smart phone. Usually a feature phone can make calls, read mail, send texts, and maybe one or two other things. I would classify the Nokia phones as feature phones, and I would classify the iPhone is a smart phone. The boundaries are somewhat mushy, so others may classify them slightly differently.

>> I don't have a clue what security issues you are talking about in regard to feature phones.  Perhaps mine isn't a feature phone.  There is nothing private on my phone that anyone can't get out of a phone book.
