I wasn't super jazzed when I got my iPhone (original one back in 2007). It was a gift. I didn't think I needed it at the time. That changed rather quickly. I use the phone in all sorts of ways I'd never expected I would at the time. The phone part of it does suck, still, to be sure. But I hate talking on the phone, I try and minimize that as much as possible, so it's not a big deal to me. Access to a computer, anytime, anywhere is pretty good. I'm not a huge app user, I have the apps I have and don't go hunting for anything unless I have a need. The biggest use for my phone? Seems to be taking pictures of stuff that I might need info on later on. I'm at a user's desk, they have a problem. Snap a picture of their service tag, go back to my desk and search for driver updates for that tag. There are ll kinds of things and situations that I need to remember something for a little bit but I can take a picture of it and discard it when finished. I use my camera a lot, more than I ever thought I would.
