I am extremely tempted to do this, but I also benefit from simple positive features like contact syncing, notes, grocery list syncing, calendar syncing, and a few other utilities.

I've decided to try one of those micro-smartphones, hoping the small screen will be fine for calendars but miserable for email & web surfing.

Sometimes I think what I really need is WiFi but no data. Sync on the nightstand, but no data connectivity out and about.

Got some examples of these micro phones? Sounds interesting!

I only have 10MB data / month. Perfectly sufficient for chat and the rare emergencies.

Huh I'd think Android would suck up 10MB in minutes doing random useless stuff. No ability to turn mobile data completely off for all BUT one or two apps.

It works just fine for me, I've never gone above the 10MB. "Restrict background data" on my Android 4.1 on each app/service does the trick.
