I'm trying to figure out why someone would willingly use a cell phone as their primary internet device.

A couple of reasons:
1. More people have cell phones than PC's. How many access the internet at work but don't have a pc at home?
2. Cell phone service is eminetly more widespread than wireless pc just about everywhere in the US and probably the world. Sure wireless pc is generally available in most major cities and airports, but not in smaller cities to such an extent, or towns and outlying areas. Cell phone coverage is. This may very well change.
3. Accessing the internet just walking down the street, on a bus or in a friend's car is much easier on a cell phone than a laptop. You have instant access everywhere you go, but the tradeoff is a small screen.
I don't have cell phone internet but I can see the advantages. It's the future whether we like it or not.
