I can dial in my Motorola ROKR from ages ago (2.5 years) by touch without looking at the keypad.  I only need the PHONE to make calls and send/receive text messages.  I don't need to be glued to Facebook all day. I leave that for home in my real computer with a real keyboard with a fast Internet connection and above all, a large 22-inch widescreen monitor.

I haven't owned a smartphone yet, but I'm very interested in trying one out in the very near future to see if having the extra features is worth the decrease in battery and possible instability (like freezing).
