iPhone Usage

[Serren]

Could you iPhone users break-down your average usage in the terms of use real quick for me. Such as:

Telephone calls: 50%
Texting: 10%
Web Browsing: 25%
Mics. Apps: 15%

I am wondering if at some point, the phone just reverts back to normal phone usage as the apps become not so exciting. I have 10 days until my contract expires, and the iPhone is still on my top thee list.

Thanks!

Serren. I talk alot so my numbers would be skewed.

Also, I don't know what my exact usage is.

I don't text very often, but I text more now than I did with my Treo.

I browse the internet and text about 98% more than I did on my Treo.

There are times when I don't even check my email out of Outloook anymore and do so exclusively through my phone. I pretty much open outlook to download and delete the emails off of the server. If I need to include an attachment I may use Outlook.

Most novelty apps will get old. Others will not, there are utilities that I use on a daily basis.

The only thing that I don't like about the phone is the data entry. It takes me a little longer to enter text (reply to emails) than it did on my Treo. I am getting better with practice.

How the....did you guys quantify this so perfectly. Spock was clearly not my father. I really look up to you guys...

[KEEZY]

Trust me... I had to force myself to quantify. It took a long time, and most of the time it added up to something over 100%!

[Serren]

Thanks. So far it seems the phone portion is used less then I thought people would indicate.

[KEEZY]

We're nerds man, we don't like talking to people. We like ordering pizza online and sending texts instead.

I do the parking meter thing too.

Things I do:

Keep a custom ring tone of an incomplete call to play randomly for people that I am talking to.

Email coordinates to Wondermokey to let him know exactly where I am on the east coast...exchange texts with Monkey in swearslang that is created by the ducking spell checker.

Call and harass all of the receptionists at Peench's place of employment by pretending to be an angry client or weirdo

Music and podcasts in the vehicle

Movies and video podcasts whenever I hop on BART (the Subway) or a plane

Google Maps (everyday)

Email client/Calendar

Buy crap that I don't need on Ebay...

Weather Underground (web shortcut)

Remote

Youtube for fly tying

Pandora Radio...when fly tying

Track spending w/ Spend

Save my passwords w/ eWallet

Waste time with games...Aqua Forest & Hold em.

Alarm clock

Spend a stupid amount of time in the App Store

Calculator and Converter on most projects

Check Tides for fishing...may be checking riverflow data as well if the Kayak app is solid.

This thing is on my person quite a bit, and I wear that battery down to 10 percent everyday....

Ep - that's funny. Supa was just talking about how much he loved Google Reader. I'm almost curious enough to check it out.

[Epyon MX]

If you ever want to be productive again, signing up for Google Reader would be an incredibly bad move.

But I'm more informed than just about anyone I know.
