| Anon | iPhone 3GS | |
| Ed | Sony Ericsson W960 | Shazam, Latitude, SudokuX, Tube, Worldmare |
| Andy, Staines | T-Mobile G1 | Locale (brilliant for automation), Google Listen (Great for listening to FrequencyCast), HulloMail (free voice mail in my gmail). And the FrequencyCast App of course! |
| John, Bristol | iPhone | Most useful app: pocket informant - Sync with Google Calendar, sync with toodledoo task list. Other apps I use - Sky+, Flixster, aroundme, pocket universe, redlaser, vouchercloud, docs2go |
| Darryn Reid | Nokia N97 | Favourite apps have to be mobbler for streaming music. Joukispot light allows me to use phone data plan with laptop. The built-in podcasting app to pick up your brilliant show, and phone torch when I can't see the light. Have to say I'm amazed you didn't mention ovi maps which comes with full voice navigation , can be used in offline mode (so no data charges) and most importantly, is free! |
| Jerry | HTC Hero | Apps: Beeb player, Dolphin browser, Listen (podcasts), Google Maps, iheart radio, Skype, Twittv, London City Tube, Barcode scanner... all free |
| Malcolm, Glasgow | HTV620 | Use phone almost purely for data use. Web, email and the odd text. Very rarely use voice calls. Also use the camera and upload photos to Facebook. Don't run apps on HTC620 as memory is too small to handle. Runs web and e-mail well so that's the important bit |
| Michael | Google G1 | Apps on my G1: barcode scanner, break the blocks, hangman, co-pilot, frequencycast, gps test, my tracks, phonalyzr and weatherbug |
| John Hawthorn, Eastwood | Motorola Startac | The greatest app is that the battery gets hot. Ideal for long fishing trips |
| Michael Johnson, Braintree | iPhone 3GS | I love the following apps: Brightkite, Gowalla, Facebook, LinkedIn, Fluther, Trillian, What'sApp, RoboForm, Slingplayer, Sky+, Shazam, ICE, Distant Stars, VisualMap, Aardvark, Starbucks, toptable, Flixster, iFlight UK, JamCam, POI-lite, HA Traffic, Kayak, Fuel Prices, ATM Hunter, ASBOrometer, Ship Finder, Plurk, Wakoopa, Kindle, NightCamera and Spoilers |
| Anon | Nokia 5800 | Calendar |
| Anon | iPhone 3GS | Listening to the FrequencyCast podcast on the train at the moment. One of the apps I use is BC Reader on the iPhone. Take a picture of a business card and it scans and adds to contacts |
| Anon | Nokia E71 | Browsing: Opera Mini; Maps: Google Maps ; Messaging: Fring |
| S L V Aaron | iPhone | Trapster is very good for mapping and speed camera locations. Also Facebook, voiceband, tweet deck, and ebuddy is a firm favourite. Oh, and bump, ivideo camera and camera+, ustream viewer and broadcaster |
| Peter Sturgeon, UCA Radio | iPhone | I use Wonder Radio most of the time for the iPhone. The biggest problem when you're tuning around is that some radio stations stream really low. Come on broadcasters - get with it! |
| Simon, Yorkshire | Nokia E71 | Google Maps, Mail from Exchange, Skype |
