if it was simply a phone, then I wouldn't have paid $600 for it. But it does a bunch of stuff aside from just making calls. I like all the features and I really love my phone. I'll admit that there is a bling factor to it, and I do get a lot of "is that an iPhone?? Cool!" type remarks. But its like people on here who have them can't talk about it without being flamed, which is bullshit
