I had my iPhone for weeks before I put any music on it and have only
listened once.
Having audio,while nice, didn't factor into the purchase decision at
all.
I bought it for everything else it does and b/c I knew it would have a
better UX than my previous not-so-smartphone :)

Along Jared's lines, I always see requirements as a point of
analysis to distinguish between manifest suggestions and true latent
requirements.
Basically, there are not requirements, only guidelines or
suggestions.

Hi Nick, I wanted to respond to your points:
re: the existence of other smart phones with GPS or LBS. Yup, they
exist and I'm glad they do. The iPhone is more than a smartphone, it
is a converged phone where music or audio is 1/3 of the
triumvirate. W/o it, it ain't an iPhone, b/c the iPhone (some

2) Clock feature

Howdy,
1). browsing the internet to various sites
Browsing my my clam shell phone was a royal pain!
2). checking stock with GUI app (vs. calling Tellme)
Didn't have a very fast and easy way to track stocks on my other
phones - unless I called up Tellme
3). Using GPS-related apps -
1) browsing anywhere, especially looking stuff up in wikipedia
2) playing casual games (aurora feint anyone?)
3) google maps anywhere
4) using location aware apps (urbanspoon, showtimes)

1. Feeling connected (email, Olympics results, etc) without turning on

Things I do now:
1. Making three-way calls, because it is so obvious how to do it.
Add-Call button, dial the next number however you usually dial,
Merge-Calls button (in the same place the Add-Call button was). It just
works!
2. Taking pictures with the phone instead of the digital camera in

1. It has replaced my alarm clock. I wake up to the harp every morning.

In order of use:
1. Use of GPS on things like Google maps, Yelp, and other search

Checking my bus times from anywhere. This is huge. A local guy in
Portland (Matt King) made a quick Trimet Transit Tracker that scraped
local arrival times into an elegant little iPhone site. Accurate.
Beautiful.
