but now that I have one it has become indispensable in everyday life. I dropped my 'land line' 4 years ago and haven't looked back.

It's a PC in your pocket; check email, surf the web, read DU.
Really good cameras for every day snaps.
It has my calendar with reminders for appointments.
The navigation feature is fantastic for finding new places.
The weather app gives me a 10 day outlook and alerts for severe weather.
It can block junk calls.
Different ring tones for different callers so you know who's calling without looking.

The current Samsung is S-10 and I miss my S-5 (damaged beyond repair).
You can buy used phones on-line and save a bunch or upgrade in your wireless plan.
