The devise was originally a phone, but is now only used for games. Is it still a “phone”?

I’d call it an unPhone.

A ploy to get you to purchase another phone.

Whatever it self identifies as.

@SQUEEKY2 These are phones (unphones?) that have been replaced and passed on to the children to play games. They hook up to the internet.

A phoney?

Small tablet

Also with Google Voice or Skype, you can use it as a phone on wifi. Though I would understand if you specifically did NOT want that feature.

If you have a bathtub and you fill it with ice and use it as a cooler, it’s still a bathtub.

These were sold as iPod Touch. But what @flutherother said is brilliant. I’m going to adopt that.

A phone without service still has phone service for 9 1 1.

@jca I’ve seen them out in the front yard filled with dirt and plants, but you’re correct, it’s still a bathtub.
