Well, try it! It can do funky stuff with amazing accuracy. I found that I just don't need it much since I do not use Dates anymore (I miss it, to be honest. P800 sucks). But just write down the name of a person in Names, dinner at six, and a place you have defined in Names and use Assist. In fact I would want my phone to do the same trick without the writing, just via voice (Newton could to that with more hp I guess). Sadly, it is as dumb as a brick.
So, in fact, no, I have no use for it, but yes, it is cool. Yes, it makes hell of a demo.
