Hola,
I'm still a little new to this forum and I have done a lot of reading and searching. I would like to ask what you use your PPC for and with what tools. Example; for me I use my PPC as:
Telephone - built in
PDA - built in
Camera - built in used seldom because poor in quality
MP3 Player - built in
others would have something like GPS, etc. I'm trying to get a feel as to what else I can do with my PPC.
Thanks
Piet
not exactly sure what you're after but here goes:
Telephone - built in
BT Headset - via Bluetooth
PDA - built in
Camera - built in used seldom because poor in quality
MP3 Player - built in
GPS - via Bluetooth
Laptop mouse pad/control - via Bluetooth, Activesync and 3rd party app called Pocket Tablet (though it's not as accurate). Good for flipping charts/PPT materials when in a meeting
Browsing - built in
Car Stereo - 2.5mm to 3.5mm plug converter, car charger and a sh*tload of mp3s in the storage card
FM radio via 3rd party app using GPRS
Traffic video watch via 3rd party app using GPRS
Flashlight - Pocket Lamp...helpful when I drop something in the movie theatre
and 3rd party apps for doing all sorts of things like currency/unit converter
I use mine simply for phoneing, a basic track of pims and all my texts from my beloved wifey.
What else oh yes gps, games, browsing web and work sending me loads of emails.
mostly navigating and phone usage play a few games and keep appointments

What app is this?
If you use GPRS, then surely it's internet radio and not FM radio.
PDA: Contacts and Appointment
Phone
WAP Browser
Bible reader
Music Player
I use my Wallaby to navigate around London on foot and public transport with train, underground and street maps. Also alarm clock, address book, scheduling, phone calls, taking notes whilst in meetings (might be getting the keyboard for it soon), a game or two when I'm bored, MSN messenger, IRC and email when I'm out and about on the bus/train etc and as a guitar tuner.
Great, handy little device that can do so much!
Regards,
Neil.
96% Games, 1% Reading, 1% listening to Music, 1% Browsing the Net, and 1% other (much is mixed in with that 1%)....
use them for a little bit everything they are designed to do...
but, mostly for the internet & as a world phone when traveling...
I do tons with my phone.. gps, internet, phonebook, addressbook, calculator, tip calc, book, pretty much everything.. the only 2 things I can't figure out yet is a functional semi accurate sound DB/SPL meter, and something for monitoring/modifying my car engine, for on the fly tuning.
Basicaly is my main device for working and personal
So with my great Universal I do:
80% calling, 10% net surfing with Opera mobile and live messenger and
10% installing, tweaking, flashing ROM´s etc
Never use camera, never play games...
similar to orb3000, dont use my device for games and camera.... i use it for everything else they are designed to do. mostly phone calls, agenda, reminder, business contacts - its like a mini yellow pages here , internet, dictionary, calculator, and some other useful apps like forex, dictionary, investment tools, etc etc..
cant live without it
Another here who doesn't use the camera, games, or even as an MP3 player. If i want the first i have a nice Fuji A370, the middle a DS, and the latter a 120Gb iPod. Saves the battery on my Trinity for the day to day stuff of messaging in all its forms, SMS, IM, twitter, email, voice.
one more thing. i have a u1000 and with that the screen's 5 inches. for long drives and i don't need the gps, i mount it in the back passenger window. my kid loves movies like finding nemo (disney - pixar - dreamworks), etc. so instead of buying a portable dvd and a screen, the u1000 does this perfectly.
The two biggest uses for my Kaiser are browsing the web with Opera or Skyfire and finding businesses and directions and such with Live Search and GMM. The calendar (synced through Exchange with my Google calendar) is also very useful to me.
I never use the media functions, because there's no dedicated 3.5mm jack out and I already have a Zune.
I use the camera occasionally, but rarely for taking actual "photos." I use it as a "scanner" to take pictures of text or stuff I want to remember with Evernote.
to view naked chiks .. lol
50%calling
20%gps
10%mp3
10%surfing opera
5% trying new apps
last 5% view more chicks
regards from portugal...
70% Istant messaging applications
25% Opera/opera mini
5% Sms/calls
AVE...
I have Rose.
For music and audiobooks I use PocketPlayer.
for reading ebooks - Mobipocket Reader.
Navigation - Garmin Mobile XT.
Movies - TCPMP.
Internet and online communication - Iris browser + Palringo.
Audio recording and Dictaphone - Audionotes.
QR barcodes - I-nigma.
Standard phone functions - rarely.
Camera - almost never.
I never use RSS Hub, Messenger, e-mail, PIE, Audio Manager or FM Radio.
I have also some games and 3rd party tweaking and modding software like SKTools and SmartToolkit(this is used rarely because it's unstable and uses too much resources). I'm waiting for some ROM updates to make my phone more stable and to increase performance...

First of all I apologize for using this forum for business.
But this place has been a home for me since I’ve owned xda devices. And not only a home but a lot of help and learning resources!
And I will make a donation to this forum once the device is sold since it has been the resource for all the upgrading I’ve done to the device.
This device has been used for one month. And I used it very carefully so it is in excellent condition. Like brand new. Never overcklocked. I am not a havy user.
The important thing about the device is that it is CID unlocked! And it has never been SIM locked.
It means you can install any OS rom into device. Upgrade or downgrade!
And use any sim card from any provider.
Also I’m selling with tons of software with registration.

See the price??
Amazing!!!
email, text, readin e books, games, or just as an ordinary phone??/
me personally i love to email
I use my Mogul for a phone, email, web browsing, listening to music stored on the device, listening to online radio stations, checking on the family via my webcam & orb.com, GPS navigation, GPS assisted local searches, taking pictures, alarm clock, scheduler, flashlight, goofy strobe light, watching TV via SprintTV and websites like SurfTheChannel.com, watching movies, calculator, online research (was a great help in buying a car by being able to research VINs on Carfax.com,) a fancy jumpdrive, tracking device for my grandmother's daily walks (she gets lost, sometimes,) MASSIVE address book, photo album, and I even play games from time to time.
Other than that, my Mogul is a worthless piece of crap.
Making phone calls.
As a phone, for email, listening to music, flashing & customizing it, and mostly for internet web browsing...

Seconded.
80% making calls, 10% messenger and 10% hear music
90% flashing new ROMs and 10% for phone calls .
80% texting. Although I haven't got used to this keyboard yet.
10% phone.
40% music player.
10% showing off photo's.
Oops. Did I go over 100%?
I use my phone for everything. Making phone calls, sending messages, checking the weather, browsing the web, controlling my CarPC (via VNC). Pretty much anything I'd normally do on a PC.
So, I've got my Fuze... customised... flashed numerous roms, downloaded tons of games and other software... I've figured out a few tricks... And it does a lot of really handy stuff... I can edit schedules for work, carry around all of my information etc... But people constantly ask me... "what do you need a phone that does all of that for?"
So I was wondering if anyone uses their phone to do anything exceptionally cool...
Just looking to get the most out of my device and always looking for new things to tinker with...
Didn't really see a thread dedicated to ideas like this so I thought I'd post one...
i use my phone to play xbox live at work.....oh yes!!!! thank god for internet sharing
I bypass my work's proxy to play online games at work and browse websites they won't let me
Oh, and I sometimes use it to call.
mostly use internet to stream music at work, but that's if i can get a dadgum 3g signal
but i have used it as a level to hang a pic before. that drew some wtfs
I use it to provide near instant support for my Web site's readers. (It's a news site... serves a very general audience.) With my mobile device, I take readers who are angry because they can't find something and have all but given up, and turn them around with my quicker than quick replies. We use exchange, so the real push notifications make near instant replies possible.
Other than that, I use it for true mobile podcast listening. No need to synch my device with a computer to have the latest podcasts.
I also use the device to run our news organization's twitter and facebook updates, as well as live wireless video reporting using Qik.
So, for a newsie site operator, this is a damn good device. With a keyboard.
Play NES and Gameboy ROMS. Browse flash websites with skyfire. Draw using mobile paint programs.
Most exciting, four days ago pocket Blender3d was revived after a two year break.

http://russose.free.fr/BlenderPocket/
There are no phones out there that can do this. Its mostly handy for showing off your work in a 3d environment, but you could feasibly create something on the spot as well.
Oh and taking panorama pictures.
whats the best snes or gb emulator for us anyway?
I use Winamp remote to watch tv/movies...decent quality too.
I use it as a graphing calculator.
well, it makes a dandy paper weight. it's also a very cool alarmclock, I use it to read books, I have even used to for a "avoiding irate wife" tool, and it's always been an awesome "irritate wife" tool. it's a gps thingie, a great money eater, and it works awesome to awe and cow the technically illiterate.
lets see
- upload pics of my one year old to facebook, as soon as I take 'em - instant share with all my family and friends!
- upload videos directly to facebook using the new Facebook app
- my defacto ebook reader when I travel
- my MP3 player for my gym work outs
- watch hulu.com on skyfire to catch missed TV epsiodes (on the elliptical)
- podcasts, newsfeeds
- FM radio for listening to the TV in my gym
- i use OneNote Mobile to make all my lists - grocery, shopping, important numbers etc
- English-Spanish dictionary, when I travel
- traffic updates on Google maps
- Weather and Stocks on TF3D
- Tomtom navigation, when I really need to ASK for directions
You guys should check out Alloysoft's Signal:

With this, I can use my phone as a remote control to Windows Media Player or Itunes on my computer. It's great if you link up your computer to a big screen or stream music through an Apple Airport. I don't even have to get up to change a track, pause a video, or fast forward.
Wake On LAN is great too so I can turn on my computer from virtually anywhere in the house using my phone
Have it Fart!!
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=61479
Let's see:
- Watch movies / series in the train
- Listen to music
- Check internet for information / news / train delays
- GPS in Google maps let me find things easily. With lattitude
my wife knows where I am without calling, which can be good and bad
- ScummVm plays me Monkey Island 1 and 2
- I can use it as a lightsaber
- Appointments & tasks
- Notes
- Use it to control my home computer with remote desktop
- Oh wait, it can call and sms too.
How did you use it to level a picture? Is this an app?
Thanks,
Dave
I'd love to use mine for some of this stuff. Now if I could only find something to get rid of those 40-50 calls I get a day.
when i did the level thingy i just used the gsensor calibration thingy as i didnt have this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=411550
yet.
ooh ooh and you can use the fuze to read them 2d barcodes. i grabbed the quickmark freeware one. and i found a code on a box of insulin. it only had the lot and expiration date but it was dang cool

Just don't hit the calibrate button! hit ok when done.

My Stuff
Well, I use my Touch Pro for fun and work:
Custom software that hits databases, including SQL Mobile and HandDBase, to maintain expenses/income and clients for partner's business, and my own wine list, cocktail/mixed drinks applications, and such
Update serveral blogs directly
Goof off on the web, and TV, and Instant Messenger
Use to get several different emails, including work, so I can pretend I am working from a bar
Used as a flashlight with "Torch" - comes in handy when sneaking around in the dark, or looking for dropped items in dark areas
it has my music on it so it is my portable MP3 player that I connect to my car and everything
Stream TV, some movies, video clips (yes, even porn)
Edited Microsoft presentations, Excel files, and documents for work and clients
use as GPS navigation in my car, in case you didn't know, some software will work with the GPS in the phone but will use a "voice" to read the directions, and if you just plug your phone into your car Aux. port, it will come across the speakers in your car. Pretty cool to show off.
Of course use it as portable storage, no longer carry around the stupid USB drive sticks
So, some is fun, some is cool, most is work stuff. LOL
I´d like to install a podcast client application wich pretty much works like the one in Iphone/Ipod (of course without the iTunes part). I also would like this app to download my subscriptions att scheduled times and only via wifi.
Is there such an app?
Search for RSS reader, ithink there is an advanced one that supports pod cast subscriptions.
Yomomedia on windows marketplace is quite polished.. beyondpod is the old favourite but not that user friendly but with heroic functionality.. i prefer lettig my PC do the heavy lifting though via MediaMonkey & syncing it later
I use mine mostly for
-talking
-sms
-audiobooks
-taking notes
-to do lists
-kalender
Sometimes for
-browsing
-ebooks
-social networking
-capturing photos
-gps
Rarely/never
-gaming
-youtube, video, tv, entertainment
Using a Lg G2 (wich feels a bit overkill for my purpose of use)
Mostly text, though my favorite feature is gps navigation.
HTC One
Mostly Games. I like searching the web as well, and shopping.
Games, tweeter, facebook mostly.
I am using a Sony Xperia U. What do i use my phone for:
Music
Youtube
Radio
Browsing the internet
Whatapps
Google now
I use my nexus 4 mostly for work as web developer and for social network.
It's obvious that I use it also for callings and sending sms.
Mostly texting, browsing, social networking (twitter, facebook, google+), and phone call
mostly for whatsapp and surf the internet.
just for ......
I use my neo v only for playing with android os
I have a HTC Evo 4G and a Nexus 4(Which I love to death)
Ever since I started developing I use my Evo just for communication(calling, texting, etc).
I use my Nexus for all things development and for playing vids, listening to music, and playing games very occasionally.
Edit: After taking the poll, I feel like I use my phones for everything now! Haha!
I have Optimus L3
And I use it all day as a music player and back home to social networks and surf the internet.
xperia z for whatsapp
Since I have an HTC One I actually sold my iPad, since I didn't use it anymore...
I am not a big gamer, but sometimes play little games. On a day to day basis I use the devices for calls, messaging and business (agenda, notes, both Gmail Apps and Exchange push). Battery time is very importand for me, so I recently (just a few days ago) began experimenting with custom roms and kernals.
Apparently I use it for everything other than audio capture
Surfing
Mostly Phone
I have a Galaxy S3 (i9300) and I mostly use it for phone calls, whatsapp and email.
I use it for what a phone was intended for: communication.
Smartphone designed for the Internet + games(youtube, twitter, mail, ip telephonia)! For communication, games, navigation through an unfamiliar city, music.
I have lumia 920
except to-do/plan, phone now can do a lot.
I use mine as text messaging sound music player internet browsing..
