    My phone is a Nokia 6600 with a 176 x 208 pixel screen.

    I use python code on my phone to inject items into my phone's calendar, including via email (i.e. I send an email to 6600@domain.com with a specific format and it will get into my calendar)

    My phone has IMAP capability which has proved extremely useful.

    My phone has an SSH client which has saved me hundreds of miles of travel in it's time.

    However, the Opera Web Browser is particularly useless. Sites rarely look good / work well.
