Tips for complete utilization of this little computer we call a cell phone

I just had to upgrade my cell phone b/c my other one broke and it would have cost more to send it off than I could get a new one for. Now I have a motorola V3 and I know this thing is capable of so much more than just storing phone numbers and making/receiving calls on. I'd love to hear your tips on how to make it work for me in all areas of my life....lol. I could have gotten the 1 step up from this one that was also an mp3 player but I knew I was getting one of those for Christmas and didn't want to duplicate that. I know it has a calendar, I can get and send text messages (of which I just now learned to do, go me!). So tell me, how do you use your cell phone in more interesting ways?

I have a Razr, which I love. I just got the software upgrade last week, so I am still trying to learn all the new stuff they added.

I use mine as a back up camera. It's kind of nice, becuase I don't carry my digital camera everywhere, so at least I don't miss a Kodak moment, I can just use my phone!

Mine has an alarm/reminder system which is great. I have mine set to go off every morning, with a message that reminds me to take my vitamins.

Actually, I don't use this phone as much as I used to. I had a blackberry before this, and became very technologically dependant on it. I almost needed a 12 step program after a few years with it. It was handy, I had everything including internet with me at all times...but it becomes an extension of you...and not a good one.

I had to give it up and go with one that had less technology! So, I know I don't use all the features on this one, but I'm okay with that!

lets see. i use it to take pics of kids if i don't have camera. i also use mine when shopping. I can put my grocery needs into the notepad as i find out i need them. i use the calculator to find out unit price at store. i use the alarm clock when i want an alarm and am not at home or need it to only vibrate. i also use calendar to remind me of appointments and bdays. i even havea few games on mine that i play when waiting.
