I was always the guy that wanted the barebones nokia. I just wanted a phone to be a good phone. I got my wife an android phone, and played with it for a few days so I could show her how to use it. I was hooked. I had to have one. I've had one for about 2.5 years now. I was without for about 2 weeks once. It was two weeks of hell.

.
I would say that a smart phone will be a great addition for lots of folks but probably not everyone.
I would also say that I would seriously consider an android phone over an iPhone. I have an iPad and an android phone for comparison and prefer the android over the iOS.
