Personally I really like the fact that it has voice functions. I wouldn't consider keeping an extra device with me without those functionalities (just a personal preference). The phone functionalities seem to be good enough for my infrequent phone usage so I can replace my E71 with it. Skype alone wouldn't be enough for me. Most of the people I need to contact won't be reachable through it and I won't be around fast enough data connections always to use Skype.
