I have a Nokia N97, and here's why: 1. As you mention, it's my alarm clock, however, it's more advanced than that. Using a free application called Mobbler that ties into my Last.FM account, I set a calming station by artist (usually Nick Drake or Orba Squara), and give it a 30-60 minute sleep timer, with the volume turned down so I have background music. I then set the alarm for whatever time, but instead choose a more rousing station, something like Andrew W.K., with the volume cranked up. This way I wake up much easier. I also have my email set to quit checking at 11p, and resume at 5a - that way I don't get awakened through the night by random emails, but I have them ready and waiting when I wake up. I also use the night time on my phone to catch up on random news, or perhaps play a quick game or something - nothing too engaging. I take my phone to bed with me every single night.
