I HATE Smart phones. I like a phone that takes calls, receives calls, stores some phone numbers, and maybe helps calculate the tip at the restaurant. That's it.

I can’t tell you how many times my Droid has been useful....using the built-in GPS, looking at a map, looking something I needed right then on the internet etc.

This is my first smartphone, and I could never see going back to just a phone.

I like my cheapo, 6-year old phone.

But I am looking at one of these to fill in the utility my phone doesn't have.

My least favorite feature is making and receiving calls. I generally don’t answer unless it is my wife or kids.

But I would have a hard time getting by without the software on my phone. I use some professional software on a daily basis that I used to carry a PDA for. I listen to audio books to and from work. I haven’t needed a paper map in the last year. Haven’t needed the yellow pages either. I can check free republic from just about any where. I don’t even know where the GPS is anymore.

I just wanted to get rid of the seperate MP3 player, PDA and GPS but found it even more useful than that.

My grandma hated cars. She preferred horses.
