how often do you use your iPhone for Internet at home even though you have a desktop?

[Pilaco]

I use it when I don't want to move the laptop around the house....

You don't have a wireless router?

 

[dukebound85]

Never. Why fuss with the touch keyboard when there's a perfectly good laptop (with flash & real apps) in my backpack?

exactly

I agree with the majority here. I will spend quite a bit of time on the phone searching things on wikipedia and reading blogs. I can't justify running upstairs to my room to check out a website or in need to search something. And... Totally guilty of using it everytime I sit on the john. Haha! Youtube and the restroom, doesn't get any more luxurious.

Just wondering how many people like me sit in bed at night a cruise the Internet for hours even though I could be using the computer. Its 11:30pm right now and I have been using my iPhone since about 8:30pm. Thats just about every night 3 to 4 hours of iPhone before bed. What do you guys think is that normal iPhone usage?

u lucky! u have an iPhone! I'm in Canada so i don't but i have an iPod touch and sometimes i do that... but what i do everynight is surfing the Internet in my bed with my MacBook Pro. With the backlit keyboard i love it! I can surf for hours! + it's my first computer that i can ''bring in my bed'' because all computer i had before were over heating and i couldn't let them in my bed. Or any other place in fact
Anyway, i completely understand u!

You know, someone needs to make a device like the iPhone that is completely waterproof. I'd love to take one in a hot tub or shallow scuba diving.

Thinking about returning mine cos I can't use it in the bath (Hee! Hee!) but then I would be naked without it. Hands up everyone who has missed a meal or two because of it? Or not answered the landline? Or ignored the doorbell?

Humm I think you could use it in the bathtub, all you need to do is cover it with a ziplock, your fingers still work through thin surfaces like cloth, should work on that thin plastic.

I would except for the lack of copy and paste and Flash. So unless I am surfing this website or watching movies from iTunes, I prefer to use my OQO 2 to surf the web over my iPhone.

I use it often and this morning while nursing a hangover that was less than anticipated it saved my ass because I could not move for a good couple of hours.

 

[noel4r]

I use my desktop half as much as I did pre-iPhone. Its always in my pocket so if I get the urge to look something up I just pull it out and surf

 

[bluedoggiant]

I use it all the time around the house instead of my macbook.


I wonder how many N95 owners would say they use their phone for browsing instead of their Dell laptops? (all N95 owners have PCs right? )

wrong, there are people on these forums with n95's

There's a smiley there for a reason.
