I finally retired my old Black Berry and bought an iPhone 5. I really don’t like typing on a touch screen but the other gadgets are interesting.
My main use is email and telephone.
Don’t really need siri, a compass, today’s weather, etc.
I guess I don't NEED them... but, I've become very fond of using Siri to put appointments on my calenday... very easy.
And, when I'm in foreign countries, I really like the compass... just to keep my bearings. And, the map.
I was lost, looked at where I was on a map at a bus stop and used my iphone5 compass to see the direction I needed to walk.
