    Games can have categories like:

    1. Emulator games (NES, SNES, Gameboy, etc.)
    2. Education/ Brain Games (Brain developer, Sudoku, Scrabble etc.)
    3. Entertainment purpose games (Angry Birds)

    Multiplayer games can be asked too, we play it using:

    1. 3G/ GSM EDGE/ GPRS, etc. (Like Raging Thunder)
    2. Bluetooth (Like Explode Arena)
    3. 2+ Guys sitting on the same phone (Like Chessgenius)

    Use other accessories/ features in different ways:

    1. Use Phone Vibrator as $ex toy,
    (Sorry staff members, don't ban me, some softwares have been developed for this) :D :D

    2. Use it as Mass Storage media to transfer other files (like a USB Pen Drive, except that you'll have to carry a USB Cable for the phone)

    3. Use it to type articles (ok, I know that's rare, but with USB On the Go, connecting a keyboard is possible)

    4. Use it to view Images/ Videos on bigger screens (Video Out, HDMI/ TV Out)

    Ok guys, not all of this need to be implemented (haha) but some can be implemented.
    Please implement some into your survey so that I be happy about my contribution! Plz plz plz...

                Browsing is no.1,you can check my IP & know my posts are no longer using my laptop,i typed this post with my iPhone 4.

                iPod is the next best thing so it's music player in 2nd place.

                Gaming will never be the same with my iPhone 4,many people claims their psp & nds are better for gaming,some even said xperia play is better?
                One thing for sure is they never saw infinity blade,eternal legacy,ridge racer,dead space,and too many titles to be said here,any iPhone 4 users know exactly what i'm saying.

                Phone calls & texting comes last,i'll leave that task to my cdma phone.

                      A phone must not support oly 2 or 3 languages and we must be able to choose the languages we want. One more feature of my phone I frequently use is dictionary.

                                    Criteria : Language options : How many do you use regularly.
                                    Criteria : If multiple languages used for text/mail, than what is the preferred language (other than English)

                                    Note - granted that this post is written in English for English-speaking audiences, I have no doubt the results will be slightly skewed. But the Nokia N8 purchased in Australia does not come with multiple language support - this fact is still annoying me.
