In order of use

1) Web browser (timewaster when bored
2) Music/Video player
3) Camera
4) Text messenger (SMS)
5) Phone
6) Memory stick for documents

I don't care about fashion, the phone is in my pocket most of the time anyway

I very rarely use mine to make calls with. I use the wap a lot as well as the camera and music player. I also play a lot of games on it.

For mostly wap and some times calls. Don't call people cause they don't call me!! Need a better shoe anyway lol :)

It's slightly ironic that many people here don't actually use their phones for phone calls the most!

Mine gets used mostly (roughly in order of usage) for text messaging, checking emails, browsing GPRS (usually Esato! ), phone calls, taking pictures, and occasionally listening to mp3s/the radio.

Use my phone mainly for texting/calling, Surfing Web & MSN (in college etc) checking emails, spur of the moment pics and vids. Listening too the odd tune, sending and recievin p*ss funny vids via BT etc.

Mine is using as a phone, texting message, alarm for waking me up in the morning, music player, camera, browsing web using Opera Mini, and a little use of organizer (code memo, sometimes using calculator, calendar, etc.).

I belong with the odd crowd: calls and SMS come last on my list. Web/WAP/email/modem are tops. Music, camera et al fit in somewhere between those two extremes.

When i first got my p800 it was for showing off etc, then the p900, but when i broke it i didnt miss all the features to be honest, i've got a nokia basic thing at the moment which really does all i need these days - having said that, i've got a p990 earmarked as soon as they come out so i can be all trendy again

mobile phones are our most hounerable device

Posted by REO
For Calls, Music , Planning and ahhhhhhh WIFI..........................

Posted by Vlammetje
nowadays:

1: making calls!
Immediately followed by: playing games when waiting or on the train or something similar


distant third: receiving texts


even further distant fourth: browse the yellow pages (at least when i had no internet I did)


fifth: take pictures of things I need to photograph on the spot (like when the #$%#@%$^$!!! natives here smashed my car window and I found the car emptied at midnight in the snow.... pictures for insurance claims and such)


Oh yeah.... and my phone doubles as an alarmclock every day and as a torch quite frequently as well these days


Still it has plenty of stuff i never use, such as the mediaplayer, so next time around I may focus on trying to get a slightly less full and hopefully slightly more dedicated to certain functions type of phone.... if they ever build one I think I would need (or want.... more likely want actually )
