You know I dig certain technology things; cool cameras, nice TV's, good sound system, good computer.....but cell phones just don't tickle my pickle. I honestly wouldn't have one if I didn't need it for my job. Prior to my current job, I didn't have one for three years......life was much more peaceful

My best ski buddy these days rented crappy ski boots all winter long saying he didn't want to fork down $450 for decent boots mid season. Yet, in November he shelled out $500 for a friggin phone :???:

I've got a pretty sweet land line at my house...

And it fits your personality quite well...

I couldn't perform my job without one...
I also couldn't have the freedom to go out and ski a couple hours mid day on a work day without one.

Plus - I think they're cool... And fun...

oh certainly understand the work convenience

my office is my car 6 hours a day.....couldn't do the job without the phone AND lap top in the passenger seat with wireless card. I'm guessing once they come out with a phone that supports our ordering software, we will all convert over to it. who knows when that will be though....the software is pretty archaic

They've made an attempt to get things to match up, but the combination of remote desktop and the program being so primitive has resulted in 'issues'. That or IT people are over matched :lol:

To be honest, I hope it never happens....as then when I'm walking around cities I'll have no excuses for calling in orders when I'm away from the lap top.

True. Good point. What kind of aircard do you use on your laptop?

I got a Treo, it was on sale when I picked it up 2 years ago and I can do realtime trades on it away from home. Keyboard blows on it. Otherwise, a free el cheapo woulda worked for me.

PS My fave cell outta all of em was my StarTac

I liked my StarTac too. Agree with the Treo keyboard.

I have a Samsung BlackJack2, a Blackberry Curve 8310, LG Trax, and will be getting the Blackberry Bold (3G) soon. I'll be getting an iPhone 3G as well, but not until much later.


Oh, and I hate cell phones. :smile:

StarTac story: I was driving home from my bar one night with a cup of beer between my legs. As I finished talking on the phone I tried to put the phone in my shirt pocket and it missed, bounced off my thigh and landed in the beer. I stuck it on a radiator for 3 days, and it fired right back up!
