Being able to use it without a mobile network seems pretty distinguishable. As well as not being subject to international charges.

And then of course the vastly higher fidelity of pictures and video sent via iMessage.

It's easy for me to forget how different my circumstances are from most other people. I'm far more likely to be in a place where I have no WiFi than a place where I have no cell service. And I don't personally know anyone outside the US, so I don't send international messages. I guess I've never paid enough attention to the fidelity of pictures I'm sent or am sending over SMS to notice a quality difference.
