I wonder how many people actually use their smartphone more as an actual mobile phone than as a camera, laptop replacement, navigation aid, or whatever else. Given what these little computers are mostly used for, I wish the term PDA, or Personal Digital Assistant, would come back into popularity.

Good idea. I'm going to try that and see what happens.

My phone calls and texts. I'm sure that Android can do more. I deleted every program I could delete. If I could make it so there were two big buttons - one that said "PHONE" and the other that says "TEXT" on my homescreen without adding a widget, downloading a program, etc., I would. My iPad is a tablet computer and serves in that capacity. My main computer is my laptop.

Why did you buy a smartphone when you wanted a featurephone ?

My fp has amazing battery life compared to my sp and I can tether through it for my 7" tablet. Its a great combo

Because TracFone & Rite Aid put the smartphone on better sale when my old phone died.
