I use it a lot more than I realize. I'll be on the phone with someone and send them a picture while talking with them sometimes. Also when I'm on hold with someone I'll open up Safari and browse the Internet. I've also had someone call me and tell me where they were and see if I could find the closest chipolte to them, so I pop open Safari and look it up while still on the phone.

Here's one: You're on the phone during a business call and need to refer to an email that the person you're talking to sent you.

Using your phone as GPS and you get a call that you're going to be on for a while....

I'm not gonna lie this one is decent, but the chances of me being in this situation are very slim.. I see how some guys can benefit from that one though..

I have to travel sometimes for my job, into cities I'm unfamiliar with, and that also means rental cars.... CEO can be a cheapo at times, so no GPS in the rental unless it's out of my pocket. I figure I might as well use my phone (because I can be a cheapo too, but it's also because I can't stand that I'd have to pay for it because the boss is a cheapo himself), so I end up driving around weird (to me) cities while trying to navigate the route, sometimes having to call people up back at the home office and at destination to get and keep them up to date.... I can see how it would suck balls if I had to choose between voice and data.

There are other scenarios too, such as conference calls.

Uh, what? My blackberry doesn't receive email unless it has access to the data network. It doesn't just magically appear on my BB....

Useful feature, dumb commercials, as most of them are now days.
