The thing I hate about phonecalls is that they are so disruptive. If I'm in the middle of something, I can either take the call or ignore it, but either way I've probably ended up being distracted. At least with IM or email, I can defer my response until I've finished what I'm doing, even if it's just finishing that sentence I was on. Yes, I could call the person back, but then I just end up putting them in the same position that I was in 5 minutes earlier.
