Stock Photo Content Advisor: Hail to the Dumbphone

With all the smartphones flying around these days, we would like to take a moment to celebrate the not-as-smartphones or "dumphones", as some people call them. Sure, they might not have all the flashy apps and convenient internet connections. And maybe people will laugh at their inability to update Facebook.

But one thing is for sure, you can actually answer dumbphones when they ring! No matter how slick we are, no one looks cool answering a smartphone. We always look like grandpa the first time he held a TV remote, confused and scared of pushing the wrong button. Then, when you do answer it, you look like you are talking into a calculator. And we all know calculator automatically equals nerd.

So, we would like to pay tribute to the dumbphone the only way we know how, with a selection of some of our favorite stock photos featuring dumbphones. With that being said, if we had a smartphone, this could have been probably written and posted from the warm sands of a sunny beach somewhere, instead of from the inside of a gray cubicle. Hmmm.

Well, anyway, please enjoy this stock photography tribute to the dumbphone.
