    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. :)

    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.

      No rush, but what will make it better than 4 aside from the incremented version number?

      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.

          Pretty much only Nokia Drive, and even that was pre-installed.

            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).

                    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).

                      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).

                          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 :)

Pulse :- To read news from different blogs in one place ... Really good one Flixter :- Check movies that are playing in theater in the city

                                I still have a what they're now calling "feature phones". I can browse the net, do my e-mail, play games, make phone calls, and do lots of other things -- all without endangering my privacy, my soul, or my home network security.

                                  well on v4 they added security - its difficult to snoop on if you can't get a signal when you hold it left handed :confused: it wouldn't surprise me if they managed to enhance that so no signal in either hand.

                                      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. :)

                                      Oddly enough I did a huge purge not too long ago of phone and tablet apps (I was putting Game of Thrones on my tablet). It's pretty therapeutic and really does seem to help with using the thing, I highly recommend it. You end up looking at things and really deciding what you really need and what you got because it was free.

                                        I use the apps on my phone more than those on my PC. this is because the phone is always with me and easily accessible

                                          ESPN Score Center, if you're a sports junkie like me, is pretty cool. :cool: I also use Siri to set reminders and overall, it's pretty accurate. I would not send texts using Siri until you have a chance to review them first :-O I downloaded some Bible apps that make reading and searching much easier(YouVersion is one of the best) and I use those everyday.
