What do I use my smartphone for?

Last week, Espen asked me: “what have you used your phone for in the last seven days? Name all applications”. For most of those seven days, I was on vacation, so the usage pattern is a bit skewed. Anyway, here goes:

• Calendar — trying to schedule visits to friends.
• E-mail — offering support and receiving spam.
• SMS — duh
• Calling — yes! actually.
• Bonsai Blast — trying to fall asleep.
• Teeter — demonstrating to my uncle that, yes, it has a gyroscope.
• Seesmic — keeping abreast
• Facebook — coordinating appointments with the phoneless crowd (they still exist).
• Google Maps - figuring the shortest path back to E134 after a detour.
• Google Sky Maps — figuring out which planet was on the low evening sky (Jupiter).
• Camera — snapped some lovely faces in lovely places.
• Web browser — used wikipedia to end a dispute.
• Contacts — updated contact info for an old friend.
• Compass — almost went geocaching.
• Google Talk — some people just don’t want to SMS.
• Calculator — split the bill.
• Yellow Pages — find address info for new acquaintance.
• Market — download Compass.
• Phone Log — catch up on missed calls.
• My Tracks — documenting a detour.

As much as I find Siemens C55 to be the best phone I ever had, the HTC Magic is decidedly the greatest pocketable computer so far. These are interesting times, and I’m still alive:)
