As it happens, I myself own a dumb phone.  A very dumb phone.  But it’s sufficient for my needs because, basically, I never use it anyway.

However, if you have a smart phone, you can now do something even smarter with it: read Mother Jones online.  You can read the magazine.  You can read our online web articles.  You can read my blog.  You can read our other blogs.  You can read everything.

Now, since I don’t have a smart phone myself, I can’t honestly tell you how well this works.  But give it a try and let me know.  It’s time for me to replace my old phone anyway, so maybe this will be enough to get me to replace it with something smarter.  More details here.
