Question Do you use your iPhone to its full potential?

I was thinking about this the other day as I was asked this
question.

This means... aside from the 3rd party apps you download,
do you use all aspects of the phone on a consistent basis;
at least once a day?

Phone?
Messaging?
Email?
Maps?
Web Browser?
Calendar? (Scheduling)
Calculator?
Camera/Gallery?
Clock? (Alarms and others)
Contacts?
App Store?
iPod?
Weather App?
YouTube?


If you use replacements, that's good also.
Example: Using Dolphin HD browser over the stock browser.

It's like the human brain. We use 100% of the brain, just not all at the same time. In other words, I use 100% of my phone's capability, just not all at one time. I use some features less than others, but I still use it all.

Phone? Yes
Messaging? Yes
Email? Hell yes
Maps? Yes
Web Browser? Yes
Calendar? (Scheduling) Too cumbersome
Calculator? Yes
Camera/Gallery? Yes
Clock? (Alarms and others) Yes
Contacts? Yes
App Store? Yes
iPod? Yes
Weather App? Yes
YouTube? Yes

I'd have to say though that I very very very rarely ever open the Stocks, Compass, or Voice Memo apps. They're completely useless for me although I keep them on the front page because it's reserved for defaults.

Phone:Use it all the time
Messaging:I text way more then I talk and I use YIM every day
Email:My only wish is for a mark all as read option on my email
Maps:Not every day but I really do love to map and location features
Web Browser:Once maybe twice a day when I am out and about. I work from home so I always am in my home office with my mac
Calendar:I use this all the time to keep track of meetings and other important thing that I don't want to forget
Calculator:Again not all the time, but I love it for when I am at the grocery store.
Camera/Gallery:I use my camera all the time to take and send pics to friends and fam. Also to upload to FB and Twitter
Clock:I have 3 different alarms set for different days of the week.
Contacts:I have most of the numbers that I call on my favs but I do go into contacts from time to time.
App Store:Every day, I am kind of an app whore.
iPod:One of the things that I love most. When I am out running errands it's nice to have some music bumpin through my headset
Weather App:I don't use it every day for my home city, but I use it at least once a week to see if NASCAR is going to be rained out.
YouTube?

Forgot to add the voice memo app.

Stocks... if that's added to the list, I'm sure 95% don't use it.

I didn't add the compass as it is used when using the Maps app. I find that w/ the compass, it actually gives you the directions for the way your phone is facing.

Well that's what it's supposed to do. But I have to say it always fails me when I need it most. Like when I'm downtown and not sure which way I'm going, it can never point me in the right direction. It's quite faulty.
