fancy phone advice?

A really nice PCD (Personal Communication Device) with all the bells & whistles is a good investment. You will soon wonder how you made it otherwise. .... & I am 51.

I'm 44 and have been in telecom for 22 years; the last 9 1/2 years in wireless.

DO NOT BUY one of those things!!!! No one (sorry Bradley) needs to be that connected. Have a phone to use as a phone and for the rest of it just TURN IT OFF.

Arghhhhhhhhhh!

I don't want to start a debate, but some of us need to be connected all the time. I am in a very fast pace business and I intend to deliver excellent customer service to my clients. At the same time, I need to connect with my office when I out on calls. My Blackberry makes me money.

You may not have the needs to connect with your friends/colleagues/families all the time, but some of us do.

Raph,

This is all tongue in cheek. I personally HATE (literraly) all that crap. Some folks "think"

they need that level of connectivity. If you do, then go for it.

Although don't ask me to pay for your thumb surgery.

Buddy of mine has a RAZR.
His review:
Half the time, the left side of the keypad doesn't work, and dust gets into the slots on the side of the flip-topand sticks to the UNDERSIDE of the screen (between the window and the display)--can't clean it!!

He hates it but can't upgrade till NEXT December ('08)...
