|  Do You Use Most of Your Phones Features?
Just curious. I only use about half of the features on my phone. Yet when I shop for a new pone, I'll still compare the features, even if I never plan to use it, I still like to have it "just i case..."  I use my: 2 MP camera: occasionally, when I don't have my 10 MP Canon around. MP3 Player: rarely. I usually have my 20MB MP3 player with my whole music collection. My phones 1MB card can only carry a few songs  EDGE: I don't really use data much on my phone, maybe to send a MMS occasionally. Games: very rarely. I have to be stranded somewhere and extremely bored.

I do use most of the features. The camera the least I would say, ocassionally and only for fun.

On my Q, I use a handful of features... I mainly use messaging, email, Bluetooth (for voice & music), the Internet, and the music player. I havent quite figured out how to make a playlist yet.

Now that I sit here and think about it... I still do the same stuff with my phone that I did three years ago. Voice, SMS, and the occasional MMS. I only started using e-mail after I left Verizon and could download gmail mobile on my Cingular and Sprint devices. I find that the more features I try to use on my phone the more money I end up spending and the more frustration I bring to myself. |

I use the camera occasionally but so far to avoid paying Verizon the .25 cents plus tax I have sent only 1 picture. I bought an Ebay cord and s/w which of course did not have the proper drivers. I don't do out going texts at all. BTW Pa. will soon out law TEXTing while driving. That is the only restriction I agree with.

People do this? that's nuts to me if somone can text & drive at the same time, that means they have a lot of talent to multi-task, but it's still crazy to do.

| Re: Do You Use Most of Your Phones Features?
I find myself using more and more features. I don't use text at all, and only occassionally picture message. I've got a 2gb memory card, so I'm starting to play around with loading music onto the card. I do like the fact I can do full length video on my Nokia 6265i, as opposed to the usual 15 sec. clips most phones limit you to. I don't have much use for downloads, as IMHO they cost far more than they are worth. Plus I can play N-gage games on the phone anyway, and can make my own ring tones. I've been trying to talk myself into gettting a Razr2, but I find my current phone does everything the Razr2 does, albeit not looking quite as cool!! One unusual feature I enjoy on my Nokia is the built in FM radio. I use it to listen to the play by play at hockey games on the in house feed. That's how I roll!!!

Too lazy to count, but I figure since I practically never use MMS, camera, radio, MP3 player and only once in a blue moon use SMS, I'll go for half as I use some of the organizer features in addition to data and voice.
