Turns Out, I Hardly Use My iPhone

Last month, I only used my iPhone for 14 minutes. That’s not a typo. I have 4,283 rollover minutes that have built up (and if they hadn’t been expiring over time, it would be in the tens of thousands of rollover minutes). That is how little I use the phone, other than the direct line that goes into my investing office through the computer and people use to speak to me as I read or whatever (that is several hours a month).

That means I’m spending almost $1,000 per year on a device I hardly use because I opt for the MacBook when I need to work or a computer-based headset the rest of the time.  I have to fix this because the iPhone, even though I love it, is too difficult to use for regular phone calls.

- Get a wireless 3G compatible iPad when it is released and a cheap flip phone for calls, which would fit my work patterns and styles much better.

- Get a wireless ear piece for the iPhone.

I think a big part of the culprit is that my iTunes library is so large that it won’t fit on most models of the iPhone so I don’t use it as an iPod.  That took away a lot of its use, especially syncing it with the sound system in my car.

I need to think this one over today …
