I often leave it in the car or simply turn it off and it really doesn't bother me if I run out of reception.
I also don't "DO" facelick.

X2 At work it lives with me at home of a night it sits on the table when im asleep it is on silent on a weekend it is on the table .
When im away 99.9% there is no reception so it live`s in the car
Yes it can do the interweb thing but i use it as a phone to call and txt and no dumb book at all so no beeps

Best thing about a smart phone is the camera. It is also sometimes useful for talking on too.

I agree, I am pretty certain that I have taken more photo's than made phone calls on my phone over the years.
Not as good as my DSLR camera but nowhere near as bulky either and the image quality is also very good.

I use my smart phone all day every day for both work and pleasure. It is a computer. My laptop computer is only more useful for word processing and it's bigger screen. I don't have a problem with this.

Love my smartphone, I use it for so much.
Call, texts, messanger, whatsapp, facebook, instagram, maps and navigation, GPS tracker for my dog, internet, alarm clock, photos and video, basic computer, calculator, spirit level, notepad and voice recorder, music via bluetooth to the car and hands free calls, Siri to do simple tasks for me and answer questions, my sports training programs from my coach are acessible via an app and also Garmin connect which downloads data for the coach from a proper sports watch, emails, checking the weather via weatherzone app, ATM and petrol station finder with prices, downloads podcasts that I listen to, it has a metronome when I need timing for various things and it is a torch. Smartphone is one of the most useful things I carry on me.

Yep, very useful. I even have two first-aid downloads on mine (Red Cross and St Johns) which say what to do in various situations. Could be a lifesaver.
