If I buy a smart phone, my employer will expect (but not reimburse) me to use it for work. They will not buy a “work” phone for me, though. So I still use a flip phone. I don’t need a smart phone, and turn the flip phone off while driving. I have over 300 hours of music on an SD card for use when the car radio gets boring. And if I’m walking somewhere, 8 need to listen for the traffic, since most of them are busy texting or talking on their smart(?) phones. Yes, it’s illegal here, but the police can’t do anything unless THEY see the person doing it.
