I'm an Android woman (with cold weather fembot nipples!) and hate everything to do with Apple ecosystem (Ios).

But I am also a feature phone lady (non-smart phones) and have one which has no smartphone features or operating system. A Nokia 800.

There are others around - some Sonim's don't run Android.

Same things, different countries.

A "mobile" phone is what Britons call the general type of small, easily-carried radio-telephone that Americans call a "cell" phone.

Nothing to do with make or type.

Of the words, "mobile" is plainly wrong. They are [i]portable[/i] not mobile - thank semi-illiterate advertising types for that muddle.

(A similar muddle we see now between the noun "content[b]s[/b]", of what is in a box or web-site; and the adjective "content", of mood.)

While "cell" here is short for "cellular", describing the operating principle of the telephones' networks.

@ArishMell Yes nobody called them cellphones or cellular networks here in Oz, but the meaning is the same.
