Why does Jerry Jones still use a flip phone?

While watching the Dallas Cowboys game on Sunday, did you notice Jerry Jones using a flip phone?

Nothing against the product, but they appear out-dated. Many believe a billionaire like Jones, who just signed a lucrative stadium naming rights deal with AT&T, should have something more modern.

Well, on Wednesday, the Cowboys owner and general manager had a good laugh while explaining why he doesn't have something more up-to-date.

"I don't know what to say other than, I can guarantee AT&T is on top of that flip phone," Jones said on 105.3 The Fan [KRLD-FM]. "It works for me. I don't have any butt-dialing with that thing, I know that."

You can't really argue with the guy there. Touch-screen phones are known to make a call or two while sitting in your pocket.
