Perhaps you are just using your smartphone wrong?
I use it to do:
- Read News article and books on my communte
- Use the flashlight in the morning or evening when it is to dark (when winter i use it every evening when going home from the train to my flat 10 minutes)
- Use it as a phone
- use maps for navigation
- Check out gps stuff when sitting in a plain
- use the sync feature to have an up to date contact list
- get calendar notifications
- use it as an alarm clock
- use it for listing to music (but not that often)
Otherwise it is in my pocket but thats it. Like my keys. I don't use it at home at all.
