IF you're making or taking calls...
I've explained I carry the phone because I'm on call. I feed my family by being available 24/7, whether I'm driving or whether I'm asleep at 3am. I'm not making social calls to chit-chat about trivialities.

Sure, there are extra devices I could spend money on that would add functionality. Convenient--the device fails to perform its core function, yet spending extra money remedies the situation. Cha-ching!

Or, here's an idea: how about the people who design phones design them well? How dare I suggest that!
