Cell Phones and Ninety and Nine Readers
Posted by: David Bunch
Be sure to check out the responses to last week's survey question, "Do you own a cell phone?"
Just last Monday I went from my standard Motorola flip phone to the Palm Treo 650. I knew that I wanted an integrated device that would play mp3s, serve as an organizer, and serve up email and internet if needed (I have not yet subscribed to that option. At $40 a month I just can't justify it-yet).
After a solid three months of research I chose the Treo. For one thing the price has really come down and my cell phone provider was offering a huge online bargain. For another, it got the highest reviews of any of the smartphones out there (at least in my price category). I wasn't sure how I would like going to Palm O/S after using a Windows Media Pocket PC for three years, but after using it for a week I have no regrets. PalmOne has definitely figured it all out as far as offering lots of features in a user friendly format.
Back to the responses to last week's survey: it cracks me up because there is one respondent who states they cannot stand seeing people drive and talk on a cell phone. There is another respondent who states the they do not have a cell phone yet because they are not old enough to drive.
So in that individual's view, the only time to talk on the cell phone is when you drive?
Let's come to a consensus here!
