Basic phone functions such as making and receiving calls and text messaging as well as light internet browsing is all that's used. However, despite that, these new phone features are a godsend to some. For example, the people in my office are issued Blackberries with integrated corporate e-mail accounts to keep in touch with each other and clients. My supervisor has a GPS on his phone and uses it instead of his store bought one. My friend uses an integrated MP3 and video players in his phone, so that he doesn't have to carry an iPod around.
While all these features aren't necessarily needed, they make everyday tasks a whole lot easier for some.
As for me, I love tech. I think the Nokia N95 is orgasmic and would buy one in a heartbeat if I had $500 to blow on it. It does virtually anything you can think of.
