As I mentioned the net connectivity and weather app are great, but only part of the picture.
I was always thought texting was stupid. Now I send a couple dozen texts a month max. If you want to get a short message to someone that you don't really need to talk to it is great. I eat lunch with a buddy one a week. I can send a text to confirm that he can make it and we agree on a restaurant. The name of a restaurant, and a time is all it takes. He replies with OK and I know it is on. Done in 15 seconds.
The note app is great. On a regular basis while I am working in my garage I discover I am need something from the parts store. I make a quick note on it and the next time I am at the store I pull up my parts needed list.
The other day in the garage I took pictures of my all of tools with my regular digital camera for insurance proposes. I transfered those to my home computer, then made a 180 MB zip file of all of them, and copied them to my phone. My phone is like a USB thumb drive, I can store any computer file on it, and copy it off to any computer with a wireless network. It is always with me. It is a great music player. I have a few movies on there but I admit I have never watched a full movie on my phone. But anytime I need a Blazing Saddles fix I can whip out my phone and watch a scene or two.
It is way more than just a phone, it is a small computer, music player, digital file storage, GPS & camera and it does make phone calls as a bonus.
