    I don't, except the standard ones. However, today I used the bar scanner and was able to find something for less, somewhere else. -- cool. I know this technology has been around for a while but I'm simple minded and slow. Go easy with me. :)

    Besides the ones installed, I use Todo List, Flashlight, (Unit) Converter and Games quite a bit, but I also find my Banking app, eBay and Home Depot useful every once in a while. Soren Madsen

      I use about 5, 6 different apps (other than the pre-installed ones) regularly, most of the free apps, I also have 2, 3 games that I paid for (I have advertisement in games).

      Watched code never compiles.

        More than I would like to admit. Bank, Credit Card, Investment tracking, bill tracking Slacker Radio, Gigbox to track shows, and SoundHound when I hear something cool I don't recognize Games from time to time, along with netflix. Barcode scanners, Skype, wifi-analyizer, Google products, maps and navigation, email, calendar, google music,

            they have their 'own' mapping now. Which is quite similar to google maps mind you. Go droid. You will be happier.

                  I have used that. I often forget about it though. Others I use, g+ (social networking not allowed through work internet. Thankfully CP is not considered social networking:thumbsup:) Great Clips Check in (check wait times and check in) Direct TV (browes and record easily) Scottrade (easy day trades etc.) Pandora Slacker Radio (I go back and forth between Pandora and Slacker) Trulia OneNote Linc Games Games Games Games (I was using a SNES emulator for a while. Nice and easy to find ROMs for free. Emulators are free but if you use them alot pay the $2 as your saves are enhanced with it, i.e. non traditional saves are allowed) Games Thinking about using on{X} but it is tied to facebook and I hate facebook -on{x} allows you to schedule tasks based on location. Or something like that. For example: Action: Text my wife I am headed home when I leave work Banking Amazon Ebay Various "point" clubs (check points etc.)

                    Of all the apps I have the following are those that I use the most: When it is easier fo me to get a bus into or out of town, than to drive, I will use the app on my Galaxy S2 to find out when the next bus is coming. I have a decent red cross first aid app on my phone which I hope I will never need to use. I use winamp to listen to music. I use teamviewer to perform any maintenance on my computers at home while out of the house.

                      I'm sure it will be faster, which is all I want (I'm on the 3G, so I could upgrade to the 4S, but I figure I might as well wait a few more months for a better upgrade).

                        I don't even have a smart phone, just a plain cell phone. I haven't felt any pressing need to be using apps or any of the other stuff that would costs more $$. But, I reckon I am the exception, rather than the rule. :)

                        Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

                            No. Or yes, depending on the way you want to look at it. I don't own a phone that could run any programs and therefore also own no apps (how I hate that word). Outrageous, I know, but I somehow have managed to survive and feel great without those toys.

                              Don't count on it. It's just that we don't try to make such a big deal out of not needing a new toy.

                                Mine came with a bunch of apps, but since it's a Sprint network phone, none of them have ever worked. The signal is always too unreliable.

                                  I use WIFI Analyser quite a bit, as well as the FB and LinkedIn. I also installed the GeoCaching app, to be surprised to find how many caches are in the area, just need to go looking for them now! (which means I will probably use the GPS app more).

                                    I don't, except the standard ones. However, today I used the bar scanner and was able to find something for less, somewhere else. -- cool. I know this technology has been around for a while but I'm simple minded and slow. Go easy with me. :)

                                    There are no games on my phone (besides the 2 it came with). Blackberry Razor (I prefer it over the Iphone. next phone "maybe" Samsung); The bar scanner, twitter, BBM, the note app, calculator, Alarm clock, the camera, e-mail, eprint (hp app)... QQ (chinese instant messenger).

                                    ///////////////// -Negative, I am a meat popsicle.

                                      I actually don't use my cellphone that much because the battery dies very quickly. But I like to use apps on my iPod Touch. The apps that I mostly use are Safari, Mail, Notes, Reminders, (Games), Twitter, Facebook and internet radio.

                                        I use Wine+ as I can never remember which wine I never want to buy again. Take a photo, rate it and price it, oh and where it was bought (comparing restaurant and shop prices is idiotic).

                                        Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH

                                          Yep. I'm using a file and task manager, dropbox, google drive, all the default apps, minecraft, kindle, barcode scanners and the list goes on. My phone is also my primary music player and pod-catcher. Oh and I even use it for phone calls and texts some times :)
