But having a mobile computer that slides into your pocket is a whole different thing.

Only if you need it though. If i was running a business I would probably get a smart phone. All I do is call and text and occasionally take a pic or two. For me a phone that has all the bells and whistles is just a time waster at this point. Now when the price point on these phones is within reason I would probably get one. I have a samsung a767 which was free so I have no interest in spending $600+ on a gadget that can do things I dont need to be done.

Heck for 600+ I could get a rear brake conversion kit

Yeah, it does depend on your lifestyle and job. If you have a job where you really can't even use you phone, then it's not worth it. Or if you have a job where you're already at a computer all day.

But if you have the freedom to jump online periodically throughout the day, it's great. It's a great tool if you need to find out about something, find a place/business, while you're on the go ect...

And remember, in most cases, smartphones are only about $200-$300 with a two year plan. Not $600.
