Joy and Clay are just like me. I got a cheap pay-as-you go mobile phone in case the car broke down so I could call my breakdown organisation. DH got one as well, but much later. We're frequently out separately, so it's handy to call home or each other if being later than intended will have any

I guess I am the only person who really likes my Iphone. If we are out shopping for instance, and we have just gone to every store we know of that has a double oven (recent shopping event) I can search the internet to find out if there are any other appliance stores out there that we don't

You're not alone, Devon. I, too, love my iPhone. I have a bunch of books downloaded to read while waiting at the doctors or other places with cruddy magazine selections, games for when I'm bored and a list of my books so I don't keep buying the same one over and over. It helps me find my way

Oh, yes, I forgot to mention that I can read the NY Times when I am on a train on the Iphone. I got the Iphone just at about the time that the Times went to $2 a copy. I used to buy a copy to read whenever I got on the train to go to NY, but now I read it on the iphone. If you figure I might

I love all of the features of my iPod Touch, and wouldn't mind having the phone as well, but I absolutely can't justify the expense of the phone or the monthly fees when I don't use the phone that much. However, I'm looking in to getting a used iPhone which has been unlocked, and then I could

Mark, I have to admit that I got my iPod Touch from my DD when she absolutely *had* to have the newer model. So I got it for half price, and she was happy to apply that to her new Touch. I've had it a couple of years now, and I still use it quite a bit... I never go to the doctor's office

I think I understand the attraction of texting... although I personally hate it and don't have a text plan. You can sit in a deadly boring meeting and text with the object of your affections for hours without disturbing anyone... especially if you sit in the back, alone. I suspect that on

I thought having a camera in a phone was ridiculous - until we had a particular edition of a Christmas Carol book that everyone in the medieval choir wanted to have, and one fellow whipped out his phone and took a picture of the cover. Since there were several by the same publisher with
