I had a little Sony smart phone, with the internet turned off. My dad gave me his old iPhone 1 when he moved to a iPhone 3. I used that phone as a neat music player and toy.
My first ever text was to my dad, and it was:
"You sent me to the "dark side" I activated the iPhone today and it's a cool toy!"
His reply was "Good, enjoy!"

I resisted until then. Now I am totally dependent on my smart phone. I run a business with it, and I can't imagine going back to life without it. The camera is just knock my socks off high quality. I have my entire collection of 120 CDs on it, 30 Gig of photos, 2.7 gig of text messages, but only use 95 gig of the 256 gig available on the phone.
My business partner bought one of the old Motorola Brick size phone and ever call was expensive. He has been texting since it became available. Most of our phone conversations start with a text of "Talk" and the other person calls if not busy or replies 10 minutes or whatever time is needed.
We talk for any real conversation, but lots of business is conducted with a text message first.
