Thanks Hans. I'm sure that Rogers has something to do with that too. It's
remarkable how ripped off Canadians are when it comes to mobile services.
It's practically criminal not to encourage Canadians to use and develop new
mobile tools. That's a good reason why you see so much cell phone innovation
coming from outside of Canada. It's too bad too.

As part of m part of me saving money for the last 2 years now (NOT as a result to the recession), I totally downsized. I went from blackberry to iphone down to the most boring flip phone with Virgin. It has become totally foreign to me to use my phone for anything else but talking to people. I oftentimes dream of the world that I could simply use my phone for all those fun things. It would drastically change how I do business with 2.0, but for now, I have to use my phone as a phone and get down to business (and maybe text a few messages to twitter).

Cheers, Hans

Ha! I'm not conducting a scientific study. I'm just curious.

Good point though.

The poll results don't come as a surprise. We are talking about a bunch of geeks.

Great comment. There is something to be said for real connection
though. Voice is the closest thing to meeting in person.

I'm not talking down about online relationships, far from it. I'm just
saying that relationships become stronger in person.

I hear you about even choices. I use my phone for Twitter and Google
Reader most.

Thanks,
Dave

It was hard to pick one thing (Twitter) as I believe I use my phone for several things equally. Phone calls do fall down a ways on the list. On the other hand, as long as we are socializing in person, we're not being anti-social by not talking on the phone. We're just communicating in a different way.
