I'm sure everyone calls, texts, and checks their e-mail; but what else do you use your smartphone for?

Rarely, GPS, which is the biggest battery drain ever but good when in the car & charging in the cigarette lighter.
Morning alarm. And I'm sure I'm not the only person who found out my 'smart' phone isn't as smart as my old dumb phone the first day I got it, when I set my alarm and switched it off before going to bed. How the hell a smartphone cannot wake itself up like dumb phones have been doing forever is beyond me!!!
\Edit - Oh, and occasionally making phone calls and sending texts haha
Some nights I just play solitaire.
Work
Music at work

Also... I use my phone for everything, to the point where I feel vulnerable if I don't know where it is, or if I don't have it on me. If it had an application that would make my breakfast for me, or brush my teeth 3 times a day, or make it so that my medulla was permanently damaged and could no longer regulate my my respiratory system so that I would have to rely on my phone's constant beeping to remind me to keep breathing... I'd use it.
For now I use it when I'm lost (google maps), when I'm hungry and lost (yelp), when I'm bored and hungry (yelp, games), when I'm just bored (solitaire and boobs), when I haven't been on Facebook in the last ten minutes (Facebook), when I have been on Facebook in the last ten minutes (Twitter), when I feel like I've spent enough days in hiding (Icrontic.com), aaaaand tea (tea).
