Phone, useable internet, iPod in one device. It just happened to have thousands of apps too. The waiting for doctors appointment are suddenly more tolerable which is priceless.
 
I always thought touch screens were a superior technology after owning a DS for a while. I have to admit right now that there are times when I really sit and look at the phone and am still amazed by it. A touch screen that responds beautifully to my touch!

I still find it to be amazing even after owning it for 6+ months. It just does too many amazing things for me!

My unappealing personality negates its chick magnetability. I got it because there's no other gadget that can do so much in such a small space. ANY other gadget out there is just CRAP in comparison.
 
Had an iPod touch and a crummy Samsung candybar (a727). Wanted a) more space, b) one fewer device in my pocket, c) mobile internet.

Magic win!
