What's On My Phone
Hmmm…looks like I’ve been tagged by this by Kevin. I think the original question was what do you have bookmarked on your phone, so to answer that:
- Burlington KY Weather via mobile NOAA
- Google Search mobile edition
- Fandango mobile edition, for seeing movie times, reviews and plot descriptions.
- UPS mobile edition for tracking packages
- WCPO mobile Home page for checking local traffic.
- WVXU online stream. This one of the local NPR stations that offers streaming content online.
To be honest I don’t browse much on the phone, but I do use my QTEK 9100 (HTC Wizard) for a LOT of things. In fact it would be a real pain my rear if I lost it. Here’s a list of things I use the phone for:
- I have a personal exchange account which links to the phone to track my contacts, appointments, email, and tasks. I am using Getting Things Done (GTD) as a organization methodology and having my Task List with me at all times is a great help.
- I also get my work and CINNUG email on the phone via IMAP4.
- I use the note recording to capture ideas, thoughts and tasks while driving or when I’m out and don’t have time to type them in.
- I use Live Search Mobile a LOT to find local places to eat, get directions, etc. I’ve got a Bluetooth GPS that I connect with the phone while traveling to get directions and maps.
- I have EWallet installed and use it quite a bit to keep track of the literally dozens of accounts and passwords I have.
- I have OneNote mobile installed to carry around some specific lists that I want to keep synced with my notes. Things like upcoming speakers for CINNUG and a wishlist of books I’m interested in.
- Oh….and form time to time, I actually make a call on it. :)
So, that’s what’s on my phone and what I use it for. I’d say the most often used applications are: as a cell phone, getting email, and using Live Search mobile.
