The logical answer is NO, you won't! and this is not science fiction, the mobile "phone" is turning into a mobile "gadget". Fast.
with increasing bandwidth of mobile data networks, and amazing capabilities of an average smartphone, i see the beginning of the end for the mobile "phone" as we know it.
When i look for a new phone, i look for its ability to check email, read my powerpoint and word documents, sync calendar items with google calendar, ability to use google maps and gps navigation, ability to browse the web faster, read ebooks! and so on...and yes, if it can do all this, i'm ready to compromise on call quality (with call drops & reception problems with almost all operators, its poor anyway)
the other day i was trying "fring", an application for s60 phones, in which u can use gtalk, skype and other voip services. i talked to a friend in the US... Crystal clear voice, no lag at all! (i am not even using a 3g as yet, this was through a normal gprs)
calls apart, i use social networking sites like facebook/twitter on my phone more than good old sms, and with more people jumping the line, soon we will see the proliferation of such microblogging and messaging clients. i can stay in touch with more people this way, and its more convenient!
integration of social networking into mobile, as is the case with newer smartphones might just be the final nail in the coffin for sms. It won't be long before the actual call follows
Idea/abhishek bachchan's "what an idea sirji" doesn't seem like being a bright idea after all!
