I just don't trust the little switches inside the phones to necessarily do the right thing at all times. I imagine a heavy CAD user's phone crapping out whenever he does a BOM update. These fears may be unfounded, I can't say I've actually given it a real honest try, but experience has taught me that "integrated" things are generally crap. Integrated cameras in cellphones, integrated switches in computer equipment, integrated LAN cards on most motherboards, integrated calculators on watches, you name it... -A.
