I use my mobile as a phone, but only when I am doing the shopping. It is so handy to call back and check if we have run out X before making an unnecessary purchase (shopping lists help but I tend to use them as an aide memoir). It also ensures that I have cup of tea ready as I phone in when I am on my way home.

Other than that it is a handy e-reader that is smaller, lighter and cheaper than my Kindle, acts as a back-up Mp3 player. The camera I have on my phone was better than my old digital camera and so handy to snap things when I'm out and about.

If you do want to take piccies of Craft stuff an inexpensive clip on Macro lens will probably help.
