| Item |
Reason |
| Camera | Too many missed opportunities when there wasn't enough time or I was too lazy to get the phone out and turn it on. |
| Full Finger Gloves | My open finger gloves weren't enough on colder mornings. |
| GPS Device | The maps didn't cut it most of the time, although they provided a different experience. Maybe a combination of both? The phone's battery life wouldn't cut it in this regard. |
