Except, no, it is not a phone, aside from a very limited subset of its functions. It is a phone-enabled internet tablet, a nearly full-fledged turing machine that you can do nearly anything you want with it, especially if you are wishing to root it. It has as much power as a 2000's 1000-1200$ desktop computer, with a capacitive touchscreen, blistering solid-state memory, many different integrated wireless communication protocols (wifi, bluetooth, cell), and who knows what else, all at your fingertips in a pocket form factor for 600 bucks.
But sure, think of it as a phone if you can't conceive better.
