The New York Times also sees that cell phones should be cell phones (voice) first above all else. They also used my Star Trek Communicator comparsion (hmmmmm...)

"But intriguing as those features are, will the average person really use many of them? Probably not. Besides, they drain batteries, and too many demands on the computer chips inside a phone can sometimes weaken reception."
