I interpret this as a phone that can do the basics like agenda and such, but does them in an unintrusive way, and givesyou full control over when and how it's allowed to interrupt you. If so, that would definitely change the dynamics between me and my phone. Basically all apps on ios / android (modulo some positive exceptions) are out to grab my attention all the time, and the OSs make it quite hard to really control that. I guess that would be more sustainable than trying to disconnect entirely.

Besides this, the link here is actually the OS, so this is actually OT.

That os is only for that phone.

There is a quick setting with a bar inside a circle, which shuts of any attention grabbers. If you still need some of those, you can allow them in the app-details notifications settings. Back on blackberry you controlled that similarly by defining important contacts, who are allowed to ignore mute. Even the palm pre had that functionality.

I could already do that on my J2ME and Symbian phones.
