    Does anybody use all the features of a smartphone?

    I make and receive calls, take the occasional pic and when I can't be arsed firing up the laptop or netbook I do the email thing when I'm away anywhere.

    Am I missing something?

    GPS?

    Note taking?

    Calendar (linked to g-cal)?

    Media player?

            And as an e-book while on holiday, as well as watching the odd film or listening to an audio book. Also occasional Skype use.

              Well I don't need an MP3 player anymore, theres a lot of tunes you can fit on a 32gig micro sd card!

              Also if I ever forget my sat nav and I can let my phone talk me to my destination, thanks to google maps

              I can look at NSFW content without worrying about it flagging up on clients sites radar

              I can play Angry Birds etc when I get bored, and have a SNES emulator with classic games for long train journeys

                    I'd suggest the question you should be asking is why did you buy a smartphine given that you don't use any of the extras that you have paid for. I use mine as a replacement for my laptop - mail, web etc. It means I don't have to fire up the laptop.
                    Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

                    I preferred version 1!
