They can't even send text messages? I checked a couple of providers around here, and the most simplistic phones I could find (like this one) can do texting, while the original brick-sized phones could not.

Again, I acknowledge that this is a stretch. At which point does a new function cause the device to evolve from its original form?

Last I checked, you can still buy AM/FM car radios. Not everyone wants to go to satellite. (Or is that not what you meant.)
I meant car radios only, with no CD or tape player. But as with the cellphone, the question about new functionality and the evolution of a device comes into play.
