My day starts early in the morning, while still dreaming I hear far away my favorite song playing, from a soothing level up to a rocking one. Makes me think what’s so special about that song when it wakes me every day so early.  Anyways, I reach my phone on the table and turn off the alarm. Then I jump off my bed and check my duties for that day, again, on my phone. I proceed to take a bath, something that my phone cannot do for me, yet.

I do breakfast while I check my  email on my phone. Sometimes I do get important messages at morning. So after having a good breakfast I get ready for another day at med school. I ride my car and plug my phone into the AUX jack, it works as my MP3 player, and also as a free hands if I get called.  Arriving at school I rush to my classroom and pay attention. Sometimes I need to record the class on audio, and guess what I use? My phone. Other times I want to show a presentation to the class and I have 2 options here, I can connect my phone (using a bluetooth dongle) to the computer and download the powerpoint file and project it from there, or I can connect the phone using a AV cable.

When Im off duty, like on weekends, I can use my phone to help me get to the parties using the GPS, most of times it gets me safely, sometimes the roads arent exactly updated, so I must be carefull with the one way streets. When I get to my friends I have fun the whole night, I can use my phone to save that precious moment when they are wasted with my phone’s camera! I might upload this video or picture to my facebook, which I usually do on the spot. You should see my facebook, you would know what I mean. At home I can fire up the Ngage app and kill some time while bored, surf the net and chat on the messenger. Looks like my laptop is getting jealous.

Did I say that I can also do calls with it? Yeah, I dont use it much for it, but when I do I tend to record them, just in case I need a future reference, because I tend to forget things. Also I get unlimited SMS from my carrier to use with my girlfriend so, I spend the whole day chatting with her.

But what would happen if I suddenly lost my N97? Well you imagine it. First, my day wouldnt start until a few hours later at least, I would not have an alarm. So no early wake up, no agenda for today. My trip to the school would be mute, or acompanied by the  radio, which I dont like much. So I guess I would pop in the CD play my Green Day album. I would have to carry different gadgets for every different purposes. A usb flash for my classes, a camera for my parties, a recorder for the school, then I would start wearing baggy jeans, just to fit my stuff inside. Getting to an unknow place would be a big adventure without GPS directions. I would have to use my lappy for every small task I needed to do, something that would make her so happy, Im sure.

As you can see, my phone holds an important place in my life. Helps me the whole day to do most of my tasks, and also entertains me. This has been like this for 2 years now, since I got my first smartphone a N95. Maybe we are too dependant to our gadgets, but think about it as if you didnt have electric power, would you survive? Sure, but at what cost? Out gadgets improve our productivity, they simply let us multitask in life. So make sure you never lose it or forget it.

So what can we expect in the future? I guess this is only the beginning!
