That's ok. It's not for everyone, even Nothing knows that. It was nice for me, but I didn't choose to buy a new one because I wanted something that could stand a bit more abuse.
I had a Phone (2a), I actually liked it for what it is. It's a gimmick, but a useful one in my life. I switched because of my own irresponsibility. I.e. I used it in environments it wasn't meant to be in.
I've used it to figure out a button on a vintage calculator which had multiple humans give up assuming it's broken. Neither I, nor the AI knew what it was for but I could use it as a very willing conversation partner that didn't grow tired of trying new things.
I've had it help me come up with an effective deep fry batter that fit my exact needs and gave a perfect result.
It's usefulness is limited in many respects but if you have a rough idea of what you're talking about it will (mostly) be helpful. Until it forgets things.
