I entered a contest over at PalmAddicts about how I use my phone, and it was published yesterday, so I thought I would share with you and expand on it here.

• Wake Up. I use the phone alarm to get me up every morning - no need for a separate clock radio for this.
• Weather. I glance at my screen to check out the weather to see how I should dress for the day. I usually have either Weather to Go (Tonaya) or WeatherPanel on my Today Screen (like this).
• Appointments. The next few appointments are usually displayed on the Today Screen. I use Pocket Informant which I bought - but I know I'm not using this to it's fullest capabilities.
• RSS. I'm currently using pRSS Reader to check on updates of my favorite sites - thankfully the new version integrates with Google Reader.
• Grocery Shopping. During the day, I continually add to my weekly grocery list which is a simple Word file.
• Blogging. I blog from my phone using a combination of SharpMT.
• Instant Messaging. I use Fring up to connect to Skype, Twitter & Windows Live all at once.

I also use all the usual suspects, such as contacts, check emails & text messaging.
