What New 3GS Feature Have You Not Used?

[iGary]

I haven't touched the compass, used voice control or shot a video yet.

Aside from "playing" what features have little or no use to you?

 

[OneMike]

I've tested out all of the features. I think the one I use least is voice control though. Will have to test it out more today, but was never really a big voice control user on any phone.

White on black, voice over, zoom, mono, speak auto text.

Basically everything under accessiblity

i have a use for compass but its rubbish so i havent really used that sicne the first day.

not took a video since the first day either.

what were the other 3gs features?

oh voice control, nah hardly used that.

 

[SpaceKitty]

Video.

 

[YoungLew]

Haven't actually took a video yet lol, but at least i'm safe in the knowledge that if i wanted to do so i could 😎

Surprisingly i don't use mail either since it doesn't work with Hotmail......

i just set a short cut for Hotmail on the homepage with auto-login 😛

also haven't used the voice memo's app.........

 

[chox99]

Besides testing 'em out on the first day, almost none.

0 Video
very few pictures.
1-2 voice control
0 compass
0 accessibility features.

Also,
0 MMS
0 Copy and paste
0 A2DP
0 Voice Memo
0 Push

Come to think of it. Hardly ever used 3G/3GS features at all. Maybe it's just me .

I don't use:
Voice Control
Voice Memos
Compass

I *do* use:
Video (few times)
Auto Focus Camera (kinda handy)
Extra Speed Boost

tried that route, still did not function well at all..

Camera is excellent and video will surprise you.

If you take it on a well lit day it is good enough to show on a full size TV without any complaints.

In low light its rubbish though.

Voice control I use all the time and it save me having to dial.

I should have put that disclaimer. I'm sure everyone tried out most of the new things when they got their phone. My curiosity is now that people have had them for a couple of weeks, how much are the new features really getting used?

 

[diamond.g]

Mms...

 

[iGary]

Mms...

The funny thing is, that is the one feature I would likely use on a daily basis.

really? it works fine for me...doesnt seem to push but i assume they may still be working the kinks out

 

[Acronym]

Is this something new? Why doesn't hotmail work? I have never had a problem with hotmail working. And what is the $20. About?

 

[miniConvert]

Voice memo or voice controls. Have played with the video feature but not recorded any - nice knowing it's there, though, I'll use it some day.

I've sent about 10 MMS's since getting the 3G

also have used copy and paste quite a few times 😀

Hotmail does work, if you go through safari.......

but it won't work in the sense that you'll get a notification when you actually get an e-mail.......

 

[iOrlando]

favorite features:

voice control...comes in handy...

video is nice

havent used copy n paste and not sure what to use compass for

the problem with going through safari is that any pictures do not show up on hotmails mobile site...not to mention its annoying to navigate....if you pay the $20 to upgrade to a hotmail "plus" account it can be configured to work like every other normal email

 

[fireshot91]

Other than playing around, and/or showing to other people, I haven't used the compass, video recording, or voice control really.

Voice control makes me feel like everybody's staring at me if I use it in public 😱

How about you get a good email provider like Gmail and forward your hotmail messages to your Gmail account?

Yeah, like most I messed with everything I could.

I'm using voice control more often now though.
