What do you use your smartphone for?

I'm thinking about buying a smart phone. How useful are they? What do you use your smartphone for?

I use mine for Google Maps and browsing the internet mostly.

IG, twitter and FB

games such as pokemon and clash of kings

whatsapp

general internet things

the calendar

I use it for everything - the only time I ever need to use a laptop is if I need a bigger screen (say, to look at past papers etc) or if I need to print.

Basically, among the best purchases I've ever made. I use it non-stop for both work and play.
Everything more or less. Biggest things for me are whatsapp and mobile banking. I couldn't do without both.

Impressive™ recommends purchasing one of the smartphones. You can use broken TSR app and a torch if you get scared in the middle of the night.

That's literally it. I've never really got people doing everything on their phones. It's basically just a less effective and potentially extremely irritating (typing long messages on a phone takes so long that I usually get bored and annoyed half way through and give up) way of doing what you could do on a laptop.
I use it as a phone, camera, MP3 player, satnav, clock - you name it, pretty much :laugh:

My phone is much faster (response time wise) than most computers I've used. Albeit yeah, typing up long replies or pieces can suck but the convenience helps.
