After almost two months with my new phone, things sure have changed in my life. For a start, I now no longer complain about the bus/train taking too long to arrive. I now take my company's shuttle bus to Bugis after work now as the shuttle bus bus-stop has a strong WiFi signal. This saves me S$0.60 each trip :)  And my fear on public transport now is the fear of missing my stop! 
What do I use my Touch phone for? Well, in two months I have used it for the following usage (besides sms and calling of course):
- Taiwan trip planner and navigator (equipted with maps, contacts, directions and transport information)
- Daily finance tracker (still in need of a better software) 
- Reading more news then I normally do via AvangtGo and RSS feed
- Shopping List tracker (still in need of a better software)
- Reading of eBooks via Microsoft Reader 
- Daily Jokes
- Daily motivation quotes
- Daily Dharma lesson
- MSN
- Listening to music and watching short clips
- Download and reading my email attachments, especially those power point slide 
- Daily scheduler and reminder
- Drawing and scrabbling notes
- First aid and massage lesson
- Aid in working by storing all my cheat files inside
- Using it as a torch light since the screen is so bloody big :P
- Google earth 
- And last but not least, countless numbers of games!
How on earth am I ever going to back to keyboard old fashion phone again??? Give me free WiFi connection any day and I am happy! Thank God Wireless@SG will still be free for another 2 years :)
My wish list for my future phones or application provider
- Heartbeat monitor! 
- MapMyRun mobile application integrated with Google Earth
- Japanese learning application
- TV receiver! woohoo!
- Wouldn't it be great if I can use my phone as an EzLink card?
- Or even use it as a Credit Card? 
- More eServices that can be connected via mobile WiFi 
- Bus guide and train guide
- Exercise planner and guide!
- Radio receiver
- Guitar Chord Cheat!
Ok enough for today. Here are some more links for mobile appls :)
