Verizon, XV6700 (Old, I know) smartphone.

Here's a scenario from real life: - Landed in Phoenix airport ready to drive with my husband to Sedona for 25th wedding anniversary. We noticed the rental car had a headphone jack on the front and realized we could listen to podcasts for the 2 hour drive. Hooray! oh wait, we don't have a headphone to headphone cable with us. - I jumped on the iPhone as we start to drive, opened Google maps, hit the locate me button (on Edge), hit search, typed in Radio Shack. Rewarded with raining down red pins showing all of those nearby. - Clicked on one that looked like it was on our way, and the phone number came up. - Clicked the number and the iPhone dialed it for me. Got hold of the sales guy who verified they had the cable - yes! - Clicked the back button, into maps and then hit the directions button in maps, and it defaulted to "from here to there" where there was the address of the Radio Shack I had chosen - Up came turn by turn directions, with my location updating as I drove - Got close, turned out it was a mall, called the guy again and he flew us in, handed us the cable when we walked in. - Listened to podcasts all the way there and back! And that's how I use my cell phone! Allison Sheridan NosillaCast at http://podfeet.com A Technology Geek Podcast with an EVER so Slight Macintosh Bias ok, u asked for it!
