i mainly got mine so I could loose the laptop at school so when i ride the bike i dont have an extra 10 lbs on my back

also because i do construction and I see some CRAZY shit and i have to email it all back to my boss so I do not get blamed for it

and finally because my ipod broke and I like to watch video's and listen to music at school and at work

other than that like you said a lot of the features are useless....to some people, but can you have too much technology> I would rather have too much shit on my phone than no enough...my damn phone even picks up damn fm radio and does video calling, just so one can make a live porn and stream it on the net....lol
