Here is my phone thing. Unless I set it on “airplane mode”, it searches constantly for a signal, and the battery dies very quickly. Also, it is thin and delicate, so if I forget it in my pocket, it is going to get killed. If I have it with me in the mountains, it stays powered down in a little Otter Box. Sometimes I do use it for music, but even then it is in my pack, with the audio wire snaking out. I can recharge it if I need to from my NOD.
My current photography challenge is a big Ginger Bear that lives in the forest above our house. I have seen it about five times, but it is fabulously shy. I have never taken a decent image of it. With the rangefinder, I can at least pull the camera out and turn it on without having to look at it. My old camera always took too long to boot up, and it takes me forever to fiddle with the phone. I have only had my new camera for a couple of weeks, so we will see if I have better luck with the bear this spring.
