What Kind of Cell Phone Do You Have?

[Linda Roeder]

Which cell phone do you have? Which one would you like to have? Which service are you with? Do you like it? Why or why not?

I have a blackberry. I got it because I was going to combine everything into one. I need a calendar and I thought this would be a good option. I was wrong. It made life more difficult. I'm back to using my Palm for my calendar, which I like alot. Now I'm stuck with this huge phone for another 18 months.

Hi Linda - good idea. Actually, I have two! I'm in the mobile business and have a Verizon LG (lil guy) and the Verizon Voyager. I use the lil guy to demonstrate my new GripOffs which are eCoupons available on your mobi. The reason I use two phones is because with the lil guy I can show people my website. With the Voyager, I can make a change to a GripOffs eCoupon and hit submit while the person viewing the demo on the lil guy just hits refresh to see the change has been made instantly. Now, the potential advertiser sees how my system works in real time.

I use the Voyager for almost all of my calls, but the additional phone not only comes in handy for demos, it allows me to make outgoing calls while I'm watching the Euro 2008 Soccer finals, last night's Letterman show, MSNBC, CNBC, just to name a few of my faves on my Voyager.

By the way, a little secret about the Voyager. Sports Authority has a wrist band with a strap and buckle (kind of would remind you of the type you see as Derek Jeter snaps his wrist bands before he bats only much thinner) and you can slide the strap through the Voyager and attach it to your wrist. While it does look a bit different, it does create the access you need to touch the screen, change the stations, answer calls, etc, rather than carrying it in your pocket, enables you to drive and have it with you and watch when you're not driving. I use an attached earphone because I prefer the reception - I'm sure Bluetooth would work fine. I just look like a Secret Service agent. Good luck on the blog. Onee quick question - I just realized the 'follow' link on the bottom right. To follow, do I leave it where it says follow or do I need to click on follow? Thanks. It's nice you have the instant editing capabilities like I do on my system.
