And who decided these definitions, and what makes them an authority?

Several decades of phone technology as it developed...

...so you just made it up then.

why are you just down voting everyone replying providing you with info?

No one has done that. The only comments I'm downvoting are the ones spreading disinformation.

No, the phone industry made up these terms.

So how I read that is "Anything that isn't what I want it to say is disinformation".

Well, enjoy your day buddy, my participation in this thread is over. Its a neat feature phone, and that's where I'll be leaving that.

Except you can't find any citations, so I'm pretty sure ya did.

Very unsurprisingly, you're reading it wrong. And you know it.

Excellent, glad to hear it!

Why are you so defensive? Like, you're really making an effort to come off as ignorant.

The Wikipedia page for Feature Phone looks to have been started in 2011.

The iPhone was introduced in 2007 and popularized Smart Phones to a point that Feature Phone grew in use enough to warrant a Wikipedia entry a few years later.

You better head over to Wikipedia to fix the misinformation issue they have had for over a decade now.

Should that mean something to me?

Did I say the phrase "feature phone" was misinformation? The fact that it exists or the date it came into existence disproves nothing...
