Hey y'all: first question for the Hoojins community is here
Please describe to us how does your typical day look like, with particular attention to the way you're using and interacting with your mobile phone and the internet.
Here is my example: I use my blackberry as my alarm clock, so when I wake up in the morning to instinctively shut down the alarm... I grab the phone and immediately see all the emails I got during the night. Next thing, while boiling water for coffee I turn on my computer and download all my emails into outlook. I usually check one of three Israeli news site to make sure my family is still alive... :-) I use MS outlook to organize my meetings' schedule. When I'm out and about, I use my blackberry numerous times to send and receive emails, check on my calendar and take notes if there's anything important I don't want to forget. I never use my task (or to-do) application on BB or on Outlook. I use Gmail occasionally, and mainly for email lists. Basically, I spend most of my day in front of my computer, and when I'm out my cellphone provides me with limited access to information. I must admit: I'm addicted to Blackberry. I feel it has increased my productive a lot. But it is also annoying to realize that I've adopted this compulsive obsessive need to check emails all the time... it still sucks to surf the internet from my phone. Although I tried it several times, I was never too happy with the results. I've never used my phone for games or music downloads, but I never do it on my PC either. Although I use iTunes as my default music player, I don't have an iPod... I don't have a digital camera, so I take pictures with my phone (it's BB Pearl). The quality of the camera is not that great, but it does provide a reasonable way to memorize things on the go. I've tried MMSing once but it totally killed my phone. So ever since then, I've been mainly downloading pix from the phone to my computer once a month or so. I use SMS a lot; have a pretty big bundle plan with T-Mobile. Tried ringtone back once (Otherside of Red Hot Chili Peppers), but then I got convinced that people may get annoyed, so I took it off. I did like the fact that I can customize my ringtone back to different people, but never ended up doing it... Never downloaded ringtones, wallpapers or games. I love to use my phone as an input/output device mainly, and my computer for all the rest.
What about you?
