I used to use my phone just to make calls too, then I needed a new phone when the old one went car surfing(left it on the roof).
Actually, I went about 4 or 6 months without a mobile at all after that, until I was told by work that, as a manager, I MUST get one.(plenty of emphasis on that, I got the hint)
Now I check IceInSpace in my lunch break, check if I've been outbid on ebay, do my banking, check my emails, make music, listen to music, check the weather forecast, leave myself written notes and voice memo's, use the scientific calculator(for work), check where the cheapest petrol is, read a free e-book.... all from my pocket.
And yes I do all of those things regularly.
I've even had customers email me schematic diagrams in PDF format so I can get all the electronic components ready for them to pick up. Saves them time and saves me rushing around in the store while they are standing there waiting.
I don't NEED to do those things, but it's sure nice
