why you buy a phone before researching what it can do...

I bought 2nd hand legend 2 months back and untill now still hasnt gotten bored of it    and that is without rooting, I'm sure if i root will be more exciting and boredom will not visit me any sooner lol.

anyway, i have these apps installed helping me do some daily stuff, maybe u can consider them to kill ur boredom:

angry bird season - keep me awake at night until i finish play all the levels, this i dont use anymore, but keep me entertained when i first buy this phone

aldiko - i read story books at night, i get free books at freebook and u can get a lot from the net the books that u like

agenda widget - integrate all my calendars, so i can put the widget on the homescreen and see what's my next schedule

Bambuser - cause i study edtech, so we sometime do live recording of what's happening in class so that we can share with our friends who were not in the class

bloggerdroid - i have photoblog which i take photos of what i eat, so this is a fast way to do it

cardio trainer - keep me wanting to exercise daily coz i can know  the calorie i burnt, and also have like resolution thing in which i set target how much do i want to exercise, so it will remind me to do it

facebook/twitter/social stuff - this one normal la, i dont use this much though coz i prefer in laptop for this

FMRadio - my car dont have radio so i hear this one while driving 
gmail - normal la check email

Hijri - I'm muslim, so I used not to care of what islam date is today, but with this now I know

Iquran - believe me, now I read quran more because this is really handy. coz the big book sometimes i'm lazy to open

Maps - google map that help me when Im lost coz i have no sense of direction

Minesweeper - classic game that i never get bored of (the expert level) but with legend it force close a lot.

Money Droid - I key in everything i spend in here so at the end of the month i know where my money goes to and see if I have not spend wisely

news- normal la read paper

PAPAGO - GPS that helps me coz like i said i have no sense of direction but i dont use much coz i have no data plan, so it may be expensive. But i use it once in a while

QuickOffice - to view some of my PPT and word doc before presentation, so i can prepare while waiting my turn

skype - call my friend in mexico and chit chat

talking tom - play with my nephew and teach him to repeat new words using this, he likes it a lot, and enjoyable. It's one of edtech stuff that i like

VISIONary++ - i use this from Lucassss recomendation but i just temproot coz i want to screencapture some of the phone screen as i need some for some articles that i write - again related to my study in edtech

webdictionary - to look for word meaning when i read articles, also related to my study

wordpress - also for microblogging, but i dont use this as often as bloggerdroid

youtube - keep me entertained in the library when I'm bored with reading lol

I havent install any comic or manga reader as i dont wanna get distracted  as i have lots of serious reading to do...haha but that's some of the apps that I am keen to install.
now i dont need bring my laptop when i dont really need it coz all the simple stuff can be done on my Legend (and I have a big 15.4" laptop that's not pleasant to carry around ). I just use the library com in the university to do heavy stuff.

When i decide to buy a smartphone, (i used to have old SE K508i for 6 years prior to Legend!)I wanna make sure I use all the possible stuff for me to make it worth every cents that I spent on it. Also, most of the things that i need to do are for my study so having this phone really makes me utilise it at its maximum.

You have to find things that u need to do to make ur phone feels worth it. accessibility to internet connection also determined ur interest towards ur phone lol, coz if u r not connected there's nothing much can do with the phone (although there r some good offline apps as well)...as for me, i dont have data plan coz i am paying for my broadband for laptop at home, but on campus i use the campus wifi all the time to do all the stuff i mentioned above.

Just find ur interest. lol. coz if u get other androids too, in the end it;s about the same of what u can do with ur phone...i know the higher 1g processor or ability to use Honeycomb or gingerbread may soon makes legend obsolete but bored-or-not wise depends on what u use it for...
