i've used it to view tv/movie scheds, purchase movie tickets, read my favorite online newspaper, view/reply forum-based sites, & also as a pocket reference/dictionary.

I use it for catching up with forums like Esato and Se-nse, bidding/checking sales on Ebay, email, online banking, and occasionally things like Google Maps.
I also found it quite useful whilst on a ferry just about to sail for Amesterdam where all the prices in the shop were in Euros. I used my phone to translate the prices into sterling using
www.xe.com , got the latest exchange rates and able to check prices instantly!
Also whilst in Amsterdam for the Marathon which my sister in law was running in, used it to upload pictures taken with the phone to Facebook for my mother in law who was unable to come but could keep up with what was happening pictorially almost in real time! Probably cost me a bomb in roaming data charges but worth it.
Always worth having an 'unlimited' (i.e. 'fair/reasonable usage as they call it) data plan or using the mobile internet will get very expensive!

I use my phone's internet mainly to surf the web.
Check my friendster account, research on everything i want to know, to post my replies here on esato, to check my mails and everything i want to do with it.
I dont even use computers for accessing the net.

* clientcopia.com (wap version 2go.clientcopia.com).
* esato.
* internet banking.
* Price checks and product reviews and product specs before purchsing in store (to make sure I'm getting a good deal or the specs are right for what I need).
*webmail (my domain, and my yahoo account)
* pop mail.
* Googling for information about all sorts of things when I need answers on the spot.
* Occasionally google maps - but still on a restrictive data plan so I keep that to a minimum atm unless it's over wifi.
* skype over wifi on my Windows Mobile.
* mobile youtube (only occasionally - again data costs are restrictive)
* checking flickr or uploading to flickr from my phone.
* music downloads - though only occasionally - my operator only offers 128Kbps DRM music which I resent paying for
Once my provider offer a service like bigpond ofr example, that offers 320Kbps MP3 (non-drm'd) then I will use this service a lot more.

Using it for general browsing for free with our trucks......
Precisely:
* Esato
* Email
* Googling
It's very helpful...
