Re: How many of you OneNote on Windows Phone?
I use it heavily. Important information, grocery lists, general notes, etc. I love how it works and syncs between WP (main), Android (alt), iOS (wife), desktop/laptop computers (both personal and work). I can trust that I won't lose anything since it jumps to every other device via the skydrive integration. Even from the officeweb site on any computer.

Re: How many of you OneNote on Windows Phone?
I must be missing something...I use it like, never. Not because it isn't great - I don't know, I probably haven't given it a fair shot - but because it seems to be lacking and a bit cumbersome in some areas.
Lacking:
- ability to save a web article from IE straight to OneNote. Please, if anyone knows how to do this, let me know. But if you use IE and find a web article you like and want to save it to OneNote, you can't. When you select menu and share, OneNote is not an option. So, for now, I use Pocket (with the accompanying Pouch app). I email the article to Pocket so I can save it for later. It'd be nice if you could do this in OneNote. ESPECIALLY since it's a native app on the WP device!
Cumbersome:
- you can't make a new Notebook from the main screen. If you launch OneNote and you're at the Notebooks screen, there is no option to create a new Notebook. You have to go to the mobile site or SkyDrive and create a Notebook and then sync in OneNote for it to show up.
There's a few other gripes, but these are the biggest for me.
So I like to use Boxd and TinyDo. Boxd has a nice UI and is simple; however, it doesn't allow you to save voice, pictures, maps, etc. TinyDo is dead simple and has a great UI. You can input by voice and create categories. I use this one a lot for making tasks and remembering quick little things because it's so simple.
Maybe I just need to give OneNote a genuine shot.

I've only used it occasional to check notes that I made on my Surface RT.

I use it all the time. With the WP8 app, the Win8/RT app, and the desktop application, I consider it to one of the platform's "killer apps".
I think the WP8 app is designed to be a companion app.

Like others have said, I also use it for quick notes. My solution to the problem of not being able to save an IE address is just to copy and paste only the info I want from the webpage. Another use I thought of last year is to create a Christmas shopping list. I enter each of my family member's names on a separate line followed by a hyphen. Then, throughout the year, anytime an idea comes up I go to OneNote and type it in next to the name. Come December, I have a nice list to work with and my Christmas shopping experience is so much easier and pleasant. After Christmas I just delete the gift ideas, leaving the names and do it all over again

I enjoy OneNote for taking quick notes and making a checklist. Very handy.

I use it as well, but I use it as a weight tracker for my workouts. I also use it for some personal things and for quick notes. It is flawless.
