I think there's an iPhone version of this thread around here...Mine are:

Facebook
AIM
Shazam
Pandora
GPS Tracker (saved my phone once)
App World (of course)
Flickr
GoogleMaps
QuickPull

Yeah, but it's one of my favorite things about the phone.

Also, in addition to what you guys listed, I like to use BuzzMe, Vlingo and Opera Mini.

RENN Spec · 07-28-2009, 05:02 PM

Streefighter 2 World Tour or something like that.

i heart bbm. I use BuzzMe also, but always forget about it because I never have to go to it. What's VLingo?

Voice commands. It's pretty cool. You hit the voice key and say "google search blah blah blah" and it looks it up for you. There's a bunch of other things you can do with it. If you upgrade to the pro version, you can compose emails and text messages by talking to the phone. Check it out. It's pretty sweet.

I already have one of those. It's called BMW Assist.

You make an account here and download this to your phone. After tying your phone and account together with a special PIN #, you will be able to see your phone's last sent location on a familiar Google Maps interface. I set mine to beam it's location every 30 seconds.

Basically I lost my phone while ridiculously drunk. I looked it up and found out exactly (more or less, I still had to poke around a bit when I got to the location) where my phone was.

This is the one of the many reasons I prefer BlackBerry over the iPhone. You can run applications like this in the background and simply cannot in the iPhone. SUCKERS!

Not to mention the lack of a real keyboard, freedom from Apple's Nazi app restrictions, a shitty camera and the lack of interchangeable parts.

: I've had both and the iPhone is a far inferior smartphone... But I guess to each his own, if you like having a trendy gadget that gives Oohs and Ahhs.

Sorry for the mini-rant.

The primary reason I won't buy one is because of the shitty reception in my area (Chicago). I'm gonna download this for my BB though.

Is there an ebay app? I'm torn between the iphone and a blackberry. If I do the iphone though, it has to be an unlocked version and it won't be used on AT&T's network. I'm a little concerned as to weather or not I'll get the most out of it. On the otherhand, my cellphone carrier cells the blackberry line and there are those nifty concole chargers available from BMW.

iPhone FTW....Im an iPhone app developer so yea sorry about that...
