i have one. i got it when i graduated from high school since i got my license and there was no way my parents were gonig to buy me one (fair enough i think, if you want it, you get it)
when i got it i was thinking "ok this is for emergencies only, i dont want to be wasteful with it" then i became aware of how good it was as a communication tool in its own right and i used it way to much to keep in contact with friends.
i never bought into the whole "keeping up with the johnses" phenomenon which seems particularly rampant in cell phones, as long as it can make calls and send sms im happy i dont need anythig more. iv since cut back my use of it to almost nil and (shock horror) started using landlines, letters and alternate communication mediums, which cost less!!
