    This might be a little too simple, but I do more with less by always having my laptop with me. Nowadays, since I'm in college, it seems like everything is being moved online, from turning essays in to math homework. It definitely helps me do more when I have free time and I have less stuff to carry around!

    I do more with less by using dropbox to sync and things like Team Viewer to remotely manage computers. Think it'll work for me? Ah screw it, I'd take it anyway :D

  • k8te

    Hope the phone has a physical keyboard.

    Doing more for less is all about doing dishes before, during, and after thanksgiving dinner. Saves a lot of time the next day.

    P.S. happy thanksgiving

  • sgschm

    More for less: Host a get together with your friends and have a clothes swap …exchange your don't-likes and never-worns for things you can use. Everybody wins!

    This holiday season I try to do more with less by making things myself! Whether it is food, presents, clothes, or cards I do more nice things with less money.

  • echezeaux

    I want this more than pigs in a blanket!

    We do more with less (and spread the love) by extensively utilizing Freecycle – both giving and getting.

    You can curl up on the couch with your WP7 phone and post on Facebook how bloated you are from Thanksgiving.

  • Austinkir

    I do more with less by using what I'm good at for gifts.

  • Yogi

    I do more with less redundancy by syncing my files using Windows Live Mesh.

  • k8te

    Are there any sites where I can browse what's available in the Windows Marketplace?

  • Johnal

    Black Friday is kicking my arse. Could sure use a WP7.

  • feffrey

    yay time for some reheats.

  • http://twitter.com/deleolowoyo Dele Olowoyo

    doing more with less could mean budgeting and adhering to it. It allows us to save properly and spend wisely

    Windows Phone 7 supports tap-and-hold in 30 different places. Try it.

  • k8te

    There's a hack that lets you load apps that aren't from the Windows Market now. I just need to find places to get these other apps. Maybe it's too soon for Microsoft to start rejecting a bunch of apps that I might find useful.

    My husband will kill me for saying this, but he does more with less by owning only gray socks. Seriously. He bought 30 identical pairs of gray socks. Whenever one gets a hole in it, he still has umpteen zillion other matches for it, so he doesn't have to chuck the whole pair. And yes, he is that cheap. (Which is why I'd like to win a new phone and not buy one!)

  • feffrey

    it is annoying to buy a stapler and accidentally buy the wrong staples for it.

  • Johnal

    WP7 will save me…i just know it…

  • sgschm

    My grandmother taught me to “save steps”. During chore time around the house, always have something with you to be returned or replaced as you move from area to area and room to room.

    One example of me doing more with less is simply turning off and unplugging electronics and appliances. Sometimes people forget and it adds up to the costs. As time goes by, spending a few little seconds on turning appliances off can really make a difference and save more money, more money to spend on stuff I want! I only turn things on when I need to!

    I am trying to do more with less by entering to win wonderful giveaways!

    The less I do, the more I win.

    i'd really love to win the phone

    If I had a Windows Phone 7, I would sell my iPod touch thanks to the Zune integration! Who needs to lug around two devices when a Windows Phone has it all.

  • sstran

    m and ms are probably my favorite more with less candy. i use them to decorate cakes, i use them in counting games with kids, and they just taste good

  • http://twitter.com/deleolowoyo Dele Olowoyo

    Doing more with less sometimes means reusing grocery bags, or buying the recyclable types and using those. Saves the environment and saves the grocery stores money, which in turn saves you money.

  • k8te

    I've read up on where you can long press for more options in Windows Phone 7. Gives pretty nifty features. Too bad Microsoft doesn't say where these long press options are in their manual or website.

    I must win this, FOR AMERICA!

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_HM3DEMTT22NKDTHVRCIFKB7IY4 Raphe Cheli

    We do more with less by taking family vacations during the off-season.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=2600601 Emily Thornton

    I need the Windows 7 phone so I can get to sweet online deals before they sell out. Grr argh.

  • Johnal

    It's almost deadline time…*crosses fingers*

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_BWQ5BJUF4AOAIL4WKND3RA6DPA Vin Iso

    One way we do more with less is with leftovers. Especially during Thanksgiving time. An example would be using ham for lunch sandwiches and using the leftover turkey for quesadillas or my favorite turkey and tortilla soup!

    This phone would help keep me organized so that I can do more with less!

  • porschecm2

    I'm not sure if the “one comment per day” rule is a good thing. It seems to unnecessarily inflate the post counts, with mostly merit-less posts.

  • http://www.twitter.com/astroXP astroX

    How to do more with less? Easy! I post a message on my social networks about the party I will host on my house, and all my friends know about it and know they’re invited to! That way I don’t have to call everyone anymore! :D

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_KVDDFOQZDE43FOGG4WYCM46BMI kkgray88@yahoo.com

    i like to stay organized- it helps me do more with less time

  • http://twitter.com/mp07 Mare' P.

    I could do more with less if I won the Windows Phone 7. I wouldn't miss calls from my kids & family, I would have my x-mas & shopping list on it & could get more done easier. I've need a cell phone & would love to win the Windows Phone 7. Thanks!

    Doing more for less means delegating more responsibilities to the kids so my time can be used more productively.

  • sstran

    I really like spices and herbs. If you buy them in the ethnic food section, especially the hispanic themed aisle they can be only 99 cents a bag! They add flavor to everything including cheap cuts of meat and inexpensive dishes

    We do more with less by finishing all our holiday shopping waaay before the season gets underway. That way, we aren't caught up in holiday mania or retail marketing when the gifts are being purchased, and we don't spend as much money.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1603971880 Howard Abraham

    MahTweets is coming to Windows Phone 7. It looks to be the next big thing in Twitter clients and it supports near-real time push notifications.

    Hopefully getting one more comment in here to boost my chances of winning this awesome phone. Really appreciate the OhGizmo folks hustling for us readers! I always love supporting my favorite blogs, and it's so easy when they give back like this. Good luck everyone…OhGizmo helps me do more with less by having all the cool stuff in one spot!

  • Austinkir

    I do more with less by using a credit card. Free money! Just kidding.
