Mobile Phones

I use my GSM like a... Phone?...

I use my mobile for calls, text messages, alarm clock, clock (I really need to buy a wrist watch!), reminder and sometimes also as a walkman. I only take pictures if I really have to, but generally I often forget about that option of my phone... I prefer regular cameras.

I agree with Envy about people playing music out loud on their mobile phones! It's dreadfull!

I use mine as a clock/alarm clock to get rid of the need for a wrist watch. My usual alarms operated by battery etc. always run out, leading to me running late/oversleeping a lot. I always forget my wrist watch too, so I got to the stage where I thought: \"I can't be bothered with a wrist watch anymore, I'll just use my phone\".

These days, my wrist watch is only used when I have exams, because usually I'm near the back of the hall and I can't see the clock at the front.

I use my phone for internet, texting, taking pictures (I never remember to bring my \"real\" camera, which is too heavy and big to haul everywhere (it is an SLR, so very bulky), playing games when I get bored, oh, and for making phone calls. It is also a great clock, because I always forget to wear my watch. I don't have music on it. I have an ipod for that. The sound quality is bad enough on an ipod, on the phone it is worthlessly abysmal. Oh, and when I go to a NASCAR race, the phone is a scanner to listen in to the driver communications. I have Sprint, which in the U.S. sponsors Nascar, and they have a program on the phone to listen in live to all the team radio communications. It is a lot of fun. I even use it at home, sometimes. It is a drain on the battery, though.

I mostly use my cell phone as a back-up alarm clock, in case I sleep through my regular alarm. I take it with me when I go out in case I need to make an emergency phone call, but otherwise it's for incoming calls only, for my work. I'd never bother having one just for personal reasons.

Supposedly, you sleep better if you switch off mobile phones in your room before you sleep.

My friend tried it and apparently she slept better, however, it could've just been the placebo effect. I haven't tried as I use my phone as an alarm anyway.
