"Other". I still have & use a Nextel i580. It is all the phone I need. It has many features that I do not know how to use, but it works great as a phone! :):)

You could also leave the string away and shout in the can instead. That would gives a whole new meaning to wireless communication :D

Even better leave the string away, put a laser flash light in each can and send light signals by morse code and you have long distance lightspeed wireless comunication, this is for High Tech professional do it your selves only do not try this at home. Eye damage may be the result of improper use!.......;):P:P:P:P:P:P

Come on guys - go electronic and get into the 24th Century - tie a piece of wire between the cans

Actually I'm a saddo - I get more calls from my provider than from real people calling me :( a £30 top up lasts me around 18 months; I use a Nokia 2720 fold with bluetooth and a radio built in!

Sophisticated or what!!

. . . by the way - what's bluetooth? :D

Harald "Bluetooth" Gormsson (Old Norse: Haraldr blátǫnn Gormsson, Danish: Harald BlÃ¥tand Gormsen) (probably born c. 935) was the son of King Gorm the Old and of Thyra Dannebod. He died in 985 or 986 having ruled as King of Denmark from around 958 and King of Norway for a few years probably around 970. Some sources state that his son Sweyn forcibly deposed him as King.

:o I, too, would like to know the answer to that one. It came with my new computer and I can't figure out if it's bloatware or what.

Bluetooth is when you are addicted to blue berries!....;):P:cool:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a proprietary open wireless technology standard for exchanging data over short distances (using short wavelength radio transmissions in the ISM band from 2400-2480 MHz) from fixed and mobile devices, creating personal area networks (PANs) with high levels of security. Created by telecoms vendor Ericsson in 1994,[1] it was originally conceived as a wireless alternative to RS-232 data cables. It can connect several devices, overcoming problems of synchronization.

iPhone. Have had one for years, still love 'em, and am turning into a complete apple junkie.

as i get older, I just want a simple computer that works, and am growing ever tired of windows garbage. so my next computer will be an apple. My days of linux are long gone.

This leads to an issue, Vice, any thoughts on an Apple OS client?

Nokia N900. almost 2 years now. Powerful with Linux distro. I'm an old Linux guru and couldn't resist it. I have tons of "apps" since I can convert most Linux progs to work with my N900.

Excellent CZ 5MP camera with dual LED flash. Also works as a flashlight with the app.
Great signal though T-Mobile and all the bells and whistles a phone could have.

It still turns heads when I'm browsing the internet on it at Starbucks. Yeah...sorry...I'm *that* guy. LOL.

Same for me. I'm 33 and have yet to own one. I don't answer the phone unless i know who it is (and even then sometimes i don't answer)
