While I'm inclined to agree--a phone should, above all else, be a functional phone--the reality is that phone calls don't even crack the top 5 in terms of things people use smartphones for anymore. There's no doubt I do more non-phone things than phone calls, myself.

It is the priority job of a phone. I can't tell you the number of times I am scrambling for my reading glasses in an attempt to answer my phone only to loose the call. There are too many ways to answer when it does ring.. and somebody like me uses reading glasses so when it does ring I can't really see where I am suppose to slide it or what I am suppose to touch... it is ridiculous...too clever by far.
