Anyone here doesn't own a mobile phone?

[BenoA]

Funny question... :think: But I'm curious to know if anyone here doesn't own one of those mobile gizmo phones?

I admit I do have one, but it is supplied by the office and 95% it's strictly for business calls. I never owned one for myself. My wife doesn't own one too... And the kids, as much as they could cry for one, they will have to buy their own.

I noticed today that I don't care for those devices, my bass player sent me an email saying he just bought that Nexus whatever model and he was so stoked about it. Singer got one of those latest iPhone, he's all crazy about it.

Talk to me about guitars, gear and cars! Those are nice subjects!

Hmmn, interesting I now see your evil ploy.

Actually I have a cell nothing fancy though.
I more about functionality then features.
If it can do everything BUT doesn't work right what good is it.

My cell is simple and used only to makes phones calls and the occassional text.
I have two games on it - chess and checkers and I play those only when I'm in a situation where I'm waiting. I'd rather play a game while waiting then read a magazine.

I don't need do e-mails or any internet on my cell.
That's what my computer is for at home.

I work in IT for a living and it goes with saying our world/society is very digital driven and dependent up on it. With that said, IT for me is a pay check but I do prefer a much simpler life where and when technology wasn't so saturated into our daily lives.

I have a semi-smartphone right now, but will probably get a Droid soon, because the browser on mine just pisses me off more than anything else. It'll be really interesting to see what we'll be using in just a few years. I think the end of the desktop computer for most people probably isn't too far away.

I really hate people who brag about their iphones and tell me I should get one. Those suckers cost about as much as a used US Jackson here, no way I'm dropping that kind of cash on a gizmo when I could get another guitar.

As long as I can text w/ qwerty, create mobile Word documents and make phone calls, Im happy. My main phone is a Moto Q9H, works great, my backup phone is an HTC Fuze, which is kinda quirky. Recently, Ive purchased a Dell Axim X50v to replace my mp3, Word docs, and web surfing during lunch(dont surf on the phones because theyre too little) needs. Its still being field tested, and if all goes well, Im gonna go back to my Pantech Matrix and carry the Axim as well. Seems like a lot, but it will turn 3 devices(phone, netbook, mp3 player) into 2 and allow me to carry a smaller phone (the Axim would stay in the van). .

I didn't have one until about five years ago. All I really need is a good speaker phone. Trying to find friends during a night out or dealing with car problems was such a hassle before I had a cell phone. I don't plan on ever being without one--even if it's turned off most of the time. It's just too convenient.

Like your way of thinking

Indeed, these device are convenient... But I do feel like a dinosaur sometimes as I doesn't understand all the hype behind these devices. Damn, half the kids in high schools own one. Even kids in elementary school have one.

I have one thats about 5 years old. No camera, no keyboard, just what I need, a small cell phone. Ocassional texts as needed, but I rarely send any. When it breaks, quits, fails, or ultimately dies, I'll look into another one. for my lil POS Nokia. It's held up well.

[Spivonious]

I had one but got rid of it. I don't want people thinking they can contact me at any time during the day. I'll admit that the new Windows Phone 7 looks cool, but $200 for a phone plus $100 per month, just so I can play some games and check email? No thanks.

Proud to be one of the 8% of Americans that refuse to have one..

That's what I have as well. I love mine as much as a straight guy can love a phone.
