Yeah, I would also value my sight the most. It must be very boring to have to only listen to every media device you've got. And navigating should be a major hassle unless the device has some advanced voice controls.

I think I would give up my sense of taste though. All the tongue do is basically sense whether the food is sweet, sour, bitter, salt, etc. Most of what we consider actual taste is generated in the nose anyway, I believe.

Correct the nose has some to do with taste.  I however would rather taste salt or sweet than smell.  It is a tough call though and you are probably more wise to choose taste over smell.  It would suck not being able to taste salty and sweet foods though.

"The sense of taste is often confused with the "sense" of flavor, which is a combination of taste and smell perception. Flavor depends on odor, texture, and temperature as well as on taste. Humans receive tastes through sensory organs called taste buds, or gustatory calyculi, concentrated on the upper surface of the tongue. There are five basic tastes: sweet, bitter, sour, salty and umami. Other tastes such as calcium[5] and free fatty acids[6] may be other basic tastes but have yet to receive widespread acceptance."

However, just imagine smelling a nasty fart, burp, or person with strong body odor.  At least you can't taste that.
