Sorry...you aren't speaking my language. If I want a portable information appliance, I want it to be a smart ANYTHING BUT A PHONE. The problem, of course, is that you don't so much pay for the hardware as for the services that make it a practical proposition. Add to that the rapid pace of obsolescence and economic uncertainties...it just doesn't make sense to me.
PS: Wait...you were saying "pay for WITH", not just "pay FOR". Well, since I shop so seldom and almost always pay cash, that function, while seductive, doesn't really make sense for me either.
