   Until Rolex makes a cellphone, cellphones won’t replace as time pieces IMHO.

   Have you seen the D&G diamond encrusted phones? Bling bling.

   While I find it useful to be able to check my phone if I forget my watch, but it’s a lot easier to check my wrist than to pull my phone out of my pocket. I’m sure some people don’t mind the effort, but I know that sometimes, if I’m sitting for example, I might not be able to get at my phone very easily.

   I haven’t used my portable alarm clock in at least 2 years, I’m always using a phone or other device.
