The thing is mobiles are no longer just phones. I find them invaluable as I'm often stuck in traffic on the way home. I do shopping for teh old dear next door and I can ring up when I'm there to find out what she needs(I might not have set out to go shopping so wouldn't have been able to ask beforehand)

But as well as a phone, mines

a) a radio
b) Sat nav
c) MP3 player (and video if I can be bothered to recode films) oh and the speaker is fine for background music e.g. on hols I have Siobhans bedtime music on it and play it for her to goto sleep and then we listen to music on th balcony
d) 3Megapixel digital camera
e) Internet machine (it has a decent full screen browser and 3G fast connection)
f) games machine ( I have ~30 games on it plus Mame(Arcade emulator))
g) bluetooth webcam for use with my laptop
h) full organiser
g) Office document reader(Word, Excel, Powerpoint)
h) a usb/bluetooth 'memory stick'
i) low res but useable video camera

I can even use it as a remote control.....


so not just a phone anymore,
