: In my humble opinion
: The words of wisdom of this forum apply: What do you want the phone
: to do? Don't get sucked into the marketing hype. I have a droid
: x. Second droid, vast improvement over the first one. Big point:
: yes it can do many things you would otherwise do on a desktop or
: laptop BUT IT ONLY HAS A TINY SCREEN and you PAY FOR THE
: SERVICES
: So if all you want is a phone stay away from a smart phone
: Re I phones people seem to love 'em almost a cult following, still
: a small screen.
: I often wish I did not pay for 5 phones each month, but it is the
: only way I have a hope of reaching my wife or daughters--now I
: have to text them because they won't pick up the phone. Much
: rather put the money into another boat. But staying married
: seems a cheaper alternative than divorce and living in a cave
: along the coast of some body of water living off the land but
: then again that sounds pretty good.

: Good luck, I'm sure you will either be blissfully happy with the
: choice you make or find the down side for any and all options.
: Sorta goes with how full the glass is deal.

: Just go paddle and let the land line ring.

LOL...well there's obvious downsides, cost is one. It's kinda handy for on the road research. The laptop works "if" you can find wi-fi, big if around here.

I tried the netbook idea, but it's never where I am, so not really handy. The smartphone will be with me all the time, more handy.

Land line only ever rings, I only use it for outgoing calls, never recieve calls on it, never told anyone the number :)
