What do you use your iPhone mostly for?

greygray · Nov 4, 2009, 04:34 AM

I use my 32GB 3GS mostly for phone calls, SMSes, camera and apps for work productivity. ( Out of my 5 pages of apps, there are only 2 games and that is hangman and Tap Tap. The rest are utilities and organizers. ) I use my iPod touch as a music player, use apps ( 50 games to count ) and web browsing.

What's yours for?

I'm pretty sure there's a similar thread floating about somewhere...but... My main use would probably be SMS, then calls, then Mail, then Facebook, then Safari. I don't really use many apps.

The internet, otherwise I wouldn't have an iPhone. After that it's the phone and sometimes the apps, and then the camera. I also use my phone as my calendar/alarm clock, so that's up there maybe with the phone purpose.

All the things Apple wants you to use it for, and many things Apple doesn't.
