Phone first? Not even close. Phone-enabled, yes.

Where's the hardware Send/End and number keys so you can use the phone (or any function) even with gloves on? Where's the one-touch dialing? Where's the voice dialing?

Let's say you've been hit by a car and can't move your fingers or talk. But you're able to hand your iPhone to a bystander who doesn't have their cell phone on them.

With a regular phone, most people nowadays will know to type 911 and hit Send. With the iPhone's hidden interface, 99% will have no clue that they first need to touch the little square box to light up the screen.

Okay, partly tongue in cheek, but you get the idea
