Which device do you use?

[Kilted_John]

At the moment, none. May be changing in the next couple months, when I upgrade from my Samsung flip to a different phone.

I am one of the few, the proud, the cell phoneless. ;)

I bought one when I was stuck at Ft. Hood and only had access to two payphones. Those payphones were being used by about 100 or so other people and I really wanted to talk to my wife since I had been in Iraq for a year. Shortly after I got home (March 05) I gave up the phone and it is now a favorite toy of my youngest son.

Hah! It looks like there are a few of us left. Personally, I'm holding out on getting a cell phone for as long as possible. I still like the idea that when I leave my house I disappear into the ether.

I don't use my cell phone a lot (don't use landline a lot, either) but it's sure handy when you need it. Having my 90-year-old mother living with us, and being self-employed, makes "disappearing into the ether" next to impossible. We manage to clear out for one vacation week and a few long weekends a year, other than that it's 24/7 availability.

I tried a Blackberry (Curve, IIRC) and really disliked it. Traded it for the Palm Pre, which I wanted in the first place but the Curve had a big rebate and the Pre was full price. On the last day I could return the Curve, whaddaya know, they had slapped a rebate on the Pre that brought it within reason. Cell phone rebate games are worse than any others, I swear. But I do like the Palm Pre.

I have no "mobile device" nor have I any wish to obtain one. Goodness knows, I have enough problems using this PC thingy, and the three remote control 'devices' for the TV!

Take care,

I used to live in a remote control free environment. But then my better half moved in, and suddenly there's a TV set in my livingroom! *shudder* I swear Mr. Logie Beard must have been possessed by the devil to invent such a ghastly device!

Other than that, I use my iPhone to access XMTS, because double standards are twice as good as single ones.

[Kilt_Em_All]

iPhone for me. It's easily the best phone I've ever owned.

I have no problems per se with the cellphoneless, but in my neck of the woods it becomes a real hassle. I know numerous people who choose not to get a cellphone. But then, the only way to reach them is on their home line, but they are usually never at home, and they don't have voicemail (or never check it).

Then, when the rest of us go out and do fun stuff like trips to the country, hikes, rides up to Tokyo, pub nights, etc, etc, they're the first to start b#"%ng and whining that they don't get included in group activities and never get invited out to anything. Or get angry because we left when they were on their way but had no way of notifying the group that they were running 30 mins late, but came anyway with the remote hope that we might still be there waiting... <sigh>

Go figure.

I only use the old pc for all my x-ing fun.
