What extra features do you use on your cellphone?

[Hell Puppy]

Remember the old days when all ya did with a phone was talk on it?

What do you use your cellphone for in addition to standard voice related features?

I'm a bit of a feature hound myself....but it's mostly still communications. I use a blackberry for keeping up with email and surfing when not near a computer. The phone itself sees a ton of SMS and MMS (picture/video) messages, but that's about it.

Anyone doing stuff like sucking their phone battery dry using it for MP3? Or does anyone actually watch video or TV on their phones?

I know a lot of folks keep saying mobile video is "the next big thing", but so far I do not know of anyone who actually routinely watches video on their telephone.

My new on is on that pocket PC platform.
I use SMS and web mostly but I intend to use it as a tether to my lap top as a cellular modem.

Alarm clock and games. I use my laptop for computer stuff. If I can't take my laptop with me, there's no reason for me to use the internet.

Talking of cell phone, My new pocket pc arrived lastnight on UPS
"Freaking slow pooky delivery".
But my new PC phone rocks.
Just think about it everyone, now I can access the internet anywhere,
And now I can always be here at Oprano 24/7,

I'm at home almost all the time. Really no need for a cell. Got one of those pay as you go types and let the minutes expire cause I never used it. LOL

One of the last holdouts.

For me, it's the opposite. I still have one honest to goodness copper landline left. And sometimes I really dont know why. I'll use the cell sitting right beside a hard line if for no other reason than all my numbers are in it.

In the UK you have to use sms or be socially shunned. All I want my phone to do is sms and get calls. My new one has a camera on it but I haven't really used it yet though I can see it being used at some point.

I check icq messages on it, as well as watch football scores if I'm away from a TV at game time.

I use my camera sometimes, but not that often.

Texting drives me batshit nuts after hearing the manchild's cell chirp 30,587 times a day. I finally did learn how to do it though.

I keep toying with the idea of getting rid of the house phone entirely. I have Vonage, and now the FCC is making them add on all those extra charges as well. I am reluctant to go with the cells and nothing else, though I can't say why.

I do a couple of thousand SMSs per month minimum. Some of those are automated notifications from my servers and applications, but I probably send 500 or more.

I'd love to have a typing test for SMS and see how quick I am. I can carry on 3 or so conversations via SMS via phone just as easy as I can on ICQ on a PC.
