And not to mention being able to broadcast this info to our friends via SMS or video calls so that we could organise something like a barbecue party or just have a beer at a nearby bar.

But none of these functions would be possible in a dead spot area or  to any barren place where the mobile cellsite can't reach. This makes the mighty phone lame or useless. Instances like this could make us recall that the mobile phone is not the present swissknife of gadgets after all. Or is it still?
