I pulled these out, as requested, and made it it's own thread...

My usage varies from day to day, but 50% of the usage is phone at least, but if I was to break it down:

- 50% phone usage - over 1500 minutes peak/500+ nights&weekends/500+ mobile to mobile
- 20% e-mail/txt messaging/web browsing/tethering, lumping this in one, as some days are more for one than others. TXT messaging is important because I get notifications of voicemails from TXT messages since I use CallWave, so I guess you could consider this data usage.
- 5% Contact lookup. I use this a lot for addresses, directions, and contact information
- 10% Calendar usage. This is my main calendar and appointment scheduler.
- 5% Multimedia - Lumping Slingbox, videos, and music in to one.
- 5% Games - When I have down time, or time on the throne, Solitaire and Bejewelled come in handy
- 5% Random Programs/showing off to others - Google Maps, PDF Documents, Word/Excel, etc.

Mine is my primary contact device for my customers and my main way of time/contact management. I am in the process of setting up my own Exchange server at home and to push e-mail to the device and hopefully start to change some of my habits. I don't see phone usage slowing down much, and will still maintain at least 50% of the usage, but I see my data usage increasing when I get the Exchange Server setup, and I am looking in to using some type of RSS reader, like Newsbreak or pRSSReader. I am starting to spend a lot more time away from my home again, something that happens when the IRL race season starts due to having one of the race teams as a client, and I am going to try and do a little more with my device and the $45/month I am paying for data.

Thank goodness for my Parrot 3200ls, as with it I can talk during the hours of driving. I am "talking" on the phone at least 2-5 hours/day during the week, and the majority of that is from driving.

I use this as an Outlook extension and phone. I have three iPods (80GB/Gen5.5 for personal, 60GB/Gen5 connected in my Jeep, and my Gen2 Shuffle for working out & bike rides), so multimedia is done on a separate device so that I can keep the battery life up on my i730.
