I know someone who uses only a few apps on his iPhone (I think it's two generations old), but it does just enough of what he needs. Hard to judge what people find useful and how they "should" value things.
I waited a long time to get a cell phone at all, then didn't keep it on for two years. I didn't even know the phone number. I planned to use it only if my car broke down. Was I getting my money's worth? Well, I thought I was, and that was good enough for me.
Then I waited a long time to get an iPhone and learned how well it suited my lifestyle -- on the go a lot, lots of travel. I ended up using it much more than I ever thought. One thing I love is going on spontaneous trips. With iPhone, I can drive across country and take shorter road trips using apps and Internet the whole way, instead of planning. The iPhone is the best device I've ever bought.
I finally switched from my 3G to a 4, because I need an unlocked one overseas. I'm glad I did. I didn't realize how much more I'd like the screen quality. I wish Apple made one the size of the Streak.
