Serious answer, it's not a phone, it's a multi tool.

Some of the things I use it for or have used it for.

Computer (and all that that entails)

Calculator

Flashlight

Map

Alarm Clock

Phone

MP3 Player

News Paper

Remote Control for my TV

Camera

Watch

Book (dictionary anywhere, encyclopedia anywhere)

Compass

Level

Ruler

It's worse at some of these things than a dedicated device would be but it's better at others.

If you "honestly" can't see an appeal than you don't have much imagination.

I was late to the cell phone game but once you've replaced a few of the needs above with a single device it's hard to go back. I wish it had a pocket knife on it.
