Cell phone Quote by Eugene O'Kelly

“There was a market opportunity there, I felt. Go ahead, someone. Embrace “less is more” for those who need simplicity. Was my deterioration starting to affect my judgment? Was I getting wise—or just cranky? I didn’t know. I just wanted an easy-to-use cell phone. One without a damn camera.” quote by Eugene O'Kelly
