Alot of people prefer talking over texting. Texting can be convenient for short messages, but anything over 140 characters is a pain... even for email. Plus alot of people still don't have texting on their phones. I only text because I get it free with my plan. I definitely wouldn't pay extra for it. Texting is a cash-cow for the phone companies.
I find it a bit ironic that before smartphones, PDAs were still a fledgling product (Palm and Windows CE). They really began to take off and become mainstream when cell phones and PDAs were combined into a smartphone. Now that has happened, people take that aspect (phone calls) somewhat for granted and even go as far as dismiss the need to even have that function on your PDA... lol.
