I guess I'm lucky -- I almost never use my phone to look things up like that.

I will be switching to a dumbphone when my current smartphone dies, because keeping the smartphone secure has become unmanageably difficult to do and with every release, gets more so.

But I will be carrying a pocket computer as well as the dumb phone. That's what I really wanted my smartphone to be -- a computer I always have with me -- anyway, and smartphones were never very good at being that.

So, by tethering the pocket computer to the dumbphone, I can look things up when I need anyway.



Careful, if tethering is too easy, the addictive behavior creeps in again ...
