A phone with a better interface might change your mind.

I had a Nokia that was a decent phone, and it could do emails/internet surfing, but it was kind of a pain to use, and I rarely bothered doing anything on the net with it- the current generation of smart phones has really raised the bar- they've become incredibly easy and convenient to use, and I find myself doing more on my phone now than I ever did before.

I certainly don't 'need' its capabilities, but they're nice to have when I want them.
