At the same time, much of the value of a smartphone comes from connectivity and software. A first generation iPhone is a 2G device trapped at iOS 3. Fit and finish are nice, but if I had to use either of these two devices, I know which I'd choose.
Of course, this is fundamentally a "look how far we've come in a short time" article.
As for "why not grab a burner", many of the people who will buy this device won't have internet at home (assuming they have a home--a recent Harvard study showed that 40% of the homeless in Boston had a smartphone), so internet access through a smartphone has huge value.
