Is your iPhone more a phone for you, or are you like Mace and find the web is the killer app?

Good question.  I would say I use both almost equally, but, if I wasn’t able to access the internet via Safari, I think the iPhone would be *much* less appealing to me. 

It’s the entire iPhone “package” that sold me on it…all the things it does that keep me from having to carry around so much “stuff”.  It’s a device that has simplified my already hectic life.  I had *never* used iCal…I wrote notes to myself that I promptly lost…had a Shuffle, but never bothered to take it anywhere with me…had never actually set up Address Book and used it.  The iPhone spurred me to begin using all of these things…easily and without hassle.

Mobile phone communications changed the world. Recall before and after. We switched from calling to/from a place to calling to someone. This is a huge difference and this changed everything. But that’s done now. So what the iPhone really brings is the possibility for any individual to retrieve any information he/she could need, in a very convenient way, anytime, anywhere. This will eventually become as big as the mobile phone communications did one decade ago.

Hmm, sounds like you were a non-PDA owning, PDA fan, just waiting for the iPhone to unleash your true identity!

I have an iPhone but I still don’t use any of those organization apps, iCal, address book, etc.  I’m incorrigible, no wait, that’s another AFBer.
