Top 15 Things I do on my Mobile that AMAZE my friends

First of all, I had prepared this post a while ago and was waiting for the right moment to post it. But since the hype about Nokia's marketing strategies is now to its fullest, now that the iPhone ads are all over the USA, I decided to that it's about time.

How does this Top 15 countdown relate to marketing strategies?
Well, these 15 options that the symbian platform allows me to perform, are capable of AMAZING my friends. Why? Are they so hard, so tricky, so impossible? NO. I just happened to look for them. But my friends didn't, and so they are swept off their feet everytime I show them something new. Now why is it so hard for an average Nokia owner to access these features? Marketing issues, accessibility issues. Nokia doesn't bother showing its consumers what they CAN EASILY do with their devices, without needing to be a real symbian geek.
Now, let's cut off with the wining and get to the top 15, shall we? I will discuss marketing issues in another post.

Top 15 Things I do with my mobile that AMAZE my friends (and the apps that let me do it)
15 - Read the Bible (BesteBible)
14 - Have a chat-like interface for my SMS sending (SMS Chat)
13 - Read .pdf - zip/unzip - rar/unrar (PDF+ , HandyZip, MobileRar, X-Plore,...)
12 - Keep it theft proved (Phone Guardian or Security Genius)
11 - Play quality games like KRally, EA Sports, Sky Force,...
10 - Read RSS news on-the-go without an internet connection (Mobipocket)
09 - Carry an Atlas in my phone (World Fact Book)
08 - Have many dictionaries, translation tools, medical dictionaries, available everywhere I go (MSDict or Harper Collins)
07 - Effectuate complicated mathematical calculations, draw functions, solve equations (BestCalc, Solution)
06 - Have an answering machine ready to pick up my calls when busy, and be able to record my voice conversations (Interactive Voice Call Master, Advanced Call Manager, Best Call Recorder...)
05 - Edit pictures and videos, compose tunes (Nokia Image Editor, PhotoRite SP, Tune Studio, Video Editor)
04 - Read and use medical books on-the-go like a handheld pocketPC (Mobipocket, iSilo)
03 - Have an XP-like interface running (Best XP theme)
02 - Control PowerPoint, iTunes, Windows Media Player, Power DVD,... from my mobile (Salling Clicker)
01 - Read and edit Microsoft Office files on the go: Word, Excel, PowerPoint (Quick Office, Office Suite)

I know Nokia devices come bundled with Adobe and the reader version of QuickOffice (but people don't know they can also edit files) but these features are not emphasized and didn't show up in the first s60 3rd devices (like my 3250 for eg)

Anything else you do that brings the oh and the ouh around in your friend circle?
N.B: please bare in mind that I don't have internet connection, so I can't surf the web, chat or check mail or use Widgets...
