... over the years the only thing of your list I've ever used was contact groups ... and then I didn't find it remotely useful ... I can see how some of the others could be very useful for using the phone while driving and when you're used to them losing them would be an issue ... BUT ... I don't think they're things that are routinely used by even smartphone users are they?
