> Certain features like making and receiving calls, texting and so forth are used more often than taking pictures or searching maps.

I find that surprising. Maybe I'm just an edge case. I rarely make or receive calls on my 'phone' (maybe 2-3 times a month). Texts are much more common; at least 5 times a week.

Maps, however, are probably daily. My phone is basically a calendar, mapping, suggestion device.

I use my phone as a map a lot more than I do to make phone calls. Heck, I use the compass app more than I do make calls.

I also rarely make phone calls. I use my phone as a clock (including alarm clock) so much more than as a phone that I sometimes have a slip of the tongue and call it "my clock". :-D

Other features I use a lot: calculator and calendar. I'm not a texter (at least not yet).
