I always carry a smart phone and wouldn't want to live without it. I send/receive thousands of texts each month, it tells me when my flight's delayed or there's a tornado warning, I hear from my kids several times a day even if they're out of the country, I can plan around public transportation schedules, and meet up with people far easier than without one. Not to mention the turn-by-turn navigation...I need my navi that routes me around accidents and road construction. I'm hooked.

I am pretty sure the Army would find a way to UCMJ me if I did not have a cellphone. I like to connect with my troops whenever I need to. The flip side is the command micromanagement 24/7 is haunting some days. What ever happened to formations?

I sincerely will enjoy a day when I no longer have a phone to worry about ringing and it not be family or some legit emergency.

I agree with Dusty about its good to have comms. When I get to the point I can, I think I will go the "emergency phone" route and just not give out the number to anyone.

I think we should all pitch in and get Broadsword2004 a pair of those google glasses.

You type? I have a droid razr maxx, I don't type, I talk and the words appear.

Since cell phones became practical for the average person I've always carried one. They've helped me more than once when I was in a bad situation.

Hey I took typing in HS, can't let my skills go to waste.

OTOH I have Bluetooth, I'm digging that.

Is that a phone in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

Hmmm...
Since I quit carrying a cell phone, my wife no longer has the ability to nag long-distance.

Damn!.....and I thought my ED was caused by being a FOG!

Well...good news is that I don't have diabetes mellitus, hypertension, obesity, or hypercholesterolemia.
But I do have a torn rotator cuff... (Did ED cause this?).

Guess I'll take the phone off my right hip and see if both conditions improve.
