> a device that has so many features that it becomes "too useful."

I don't think it is the features, it is that too much information comes into the phone and then distracts us, because the senders of the information really want to you to listen to them.

If a "feature" is useful it is good to have it available when you NEED it.

Consider the feature "flashlight" on my phone. It's great to have it when you need it.

Or Clock. And Alarm. And Timer. I use them all the time.
