Some people aren't you and might enjoy different things.

True. That's why I started the comment with "I".

Its probably where your comment should have ended too. Your use of "I" doesnt take away from the tone and sarcasm of your comment.

Some people dont wnt a phone.

"better" is definitely subjective. I use an iPod touch that I leave plugged in my car that I have 17k songs on. It's so nice to just have something that always resumes where I left off and just works. No subscriptions, no data. I can go on long road trips and not worry about spotty coverage. And best of all, I actually own all the media that's on it. And my phone texts don't keep interrupting my music all the tiime

I installed in my(old but very good) car a surprisingly nice sounding stereo unit, very inexpensive, like 30€.

The unit has no cassette or CD. It does have a micro Sd slot, two USB, one is charge only, for phones, and the other for storage. It has a remote. Physical buttons and a multi modal knob.

My phone has 512Gb of storage, and I almost never use streaming services.

I imagine your phone notifies you of texts, anyway, no?

also, these devices can be jailbroken

My phone is jailbroken (rooted, Android).

Unless I discover a deeply hidden part of me, it's highly unlikely that I'd get a grinder notification.

Anyway, you won't get that notification I the ipod, but you will in your phone.

I'm actually restoring a Motorola Startac phone for my son, but there is no pretense of usability there, (except battery life), it's simply for the cool factor.
