    Mostly texting, and calling, but I read and other things depending where I am.

    A little bit of everything.
    What's odd is that I use it the least as an actual phone, but keeping up with social web stuff, texting,
    alarms, appointments, calendar, a little gaming and media viewing, as well as other things.
    A big part of it is music too when I have the time for personal listening.

  • Mostly web browsing for me. Checking through the few blogs and news sites. A whole heap of Reddit too! I hardly ever get phone calls now. Its all text or email

    Mostly text, snapchat, and reading news articles on tech, sports, news, and opinion

    Pretty much what everyone said.. A little bit of everything.

    Games, web browsing and social media are the dominant time wasters.  Text and calls are a close second.  I don't stream much on my phone, screen is too small.

  • I feel that, that's the irony of phones these days, a lot of times I don't use it like a phone like you said, but use it a lot for social media, surfing the web, Spotify, texting, and sometimes Netflix.

    I use it for just about everything. Calendar is probably the most used feature for me.

    I use it mostly for social media, youtube, texting, and picture taking but I of course use other features and components of my phone such as calender, alarm clock, calculator, phone, etc.


    All of the above.

    I would say it is a toss up between Messaging/emails and browsing.

    Mainly calling/texting, but the reason I got a Zmax Pro with that huge 6" screen is because I also use it a lot for Kindle, when I'm out of the house.  Kindle on a 4.5" screen (like my last phone!) is like trying to read a novel written on gum wrappers.

    A little bit of this, a little bit of that.


    Pretty much everything but a phone.
