Voice to open apps. I thought for sure I would use it all the time. Tried it for a couple weeks and never used it again.
 
Tag songs, using the recorder in Bing search. I used to be all about Shazam and apps like that until I remembered there's too much crap on the radio...
 
Play games. I just don't have any interest in playing on such a small screen. I prefer a tablet or Xbox.
 
Check-in. I used to check-in with foursquare (4th & Mayor) and I would check-in using Facebook. I can't even remember the last time I checked-in somewhere. I don't see my friends using it either. I guess it's no surprise why Foursquare is seeking funding.
 
Play games on Xbox live for my WP. Now I use VBA and SNES8X emulators for good old fashioned games. Cuz those games were done right
 
I pretty much never use ShopSavvy anymore. I thought for sure I would use it to find great prices around town and get the best prices online. Instead I do all my research for products at my computer and find the cheapest price without entering a store.
 
I used to do everything. Ever since I got my Surface I now take notes, browse internet, and play games on that. My phone is only used for texting now. (unless I'm out of WiFi and then its back to everything)
 
Same here.

I send a text message as a reply to someone who leaves me a voicemail, rather than call.

Same here,

I believe that it's much more easier to form a reply in a text rather than voice since you have time to think about your answer.
 
Don't have time to play video games on the device for more than 20 min. At a clip. Life happens lol..
 
Use my 822 as a multimedia device. That's where my Fascinate comes in to play. I do use the 822 for games and other usual activity.
 
Use my phone in a fight. The last phone I had capable of breaking up a melee was a Nokia 6150...
 
Charge my phone every two weeks or longer those were the days (memories) :smile:
