Actually, I am one of the people who doesn't have a smartphone (and doesn't really want one). I see that smartphones are awesome toys, but the reasons I don't wan't one are simple. First is cost. €200,- is way too much for a phone and that is a cheap phone. And secondly, I have a perfectly fine phone. When it stops working, I'll have a look at another one. I am getting a bit tired of the "I must have the latest and greatest thing" culture which is developing. I mean, lying in front of an Apple store just to get your hands on the latest iPhone while you bought a new one 6 months ago. It is madness.
