Apparently, a bunch of rabbis wanted to Hasidic Jews to enjoy the easy communication afforded by cell phones. But they also wanted the flock to stay away from features that make smartphones smartphones. Like mobile web access, streamed video, or even SMS messaging.

Yet despite such a simplistic feature set requirement, it took Sprint Nextel $150,000.00 to fulfill the request. And it looks like their clients aren't satisfied; the corporate face of the group, Vaad Harabbonim Letikshoreth, is suing.

Thanks to New York Magazine for the heads up.
