The smart phones can do so much more than just txting. From making and adding to documents, scanning in papers (some smart phones can do that) the full net use on them is crazy good.

There are alot of upsides to a smart phone



Txting is great because you can reply when you can and read it when you can. So when you are doing something you don't need to stop like if it was a phone call and...you don't need to turn down the radio or go some where so you can talk on the phone.
